Create your profile once

Everything starts with one profile. It takes about ten minutes, and you only do it once.

  • Upload your current CV as a PDF and we read it into your profile for you
  • Add education, work history, skills, certificates, projects, memberships and referees
  • No work history yet? Projects, attachments and studies count
  • A profile-strength meter shows what is missing before you start applying
2

Get a CV employers actually read

Your profile becomes a clean, professional CV that applicant-tracking systems can read.

  • Several designs, accent colours and fonts
  • Keep different CVs for different directions, and choose one as your main CV
  • Download as PDF or Word whenever you need a copy
  • Applicant-tracking checks with one-click fixes
3

Tell us how to apply for you

Choose how much you want Skills Factory to do, and change your mind at any time.

  • Pick up to six job categories you want to work in
  • Choose a mode: apply yourself, find matches and ask me first, or fully automatic
  • Connect your own email, or let Skills Factory send for you
  • Add employers to skip, such as your current employer, and pause whenever you like
4

Get matched every day

New jobs are checked against your profile every day, and the good matches come to you.

  • A match score shows which of your skills each advert asks for
  • Must-have checks flag required qualifications or experience before you apply
  • A daily email digest of new matches, and WhatsApp alerts on paid plans
  • Save jobs to come back to, and see every closing date at a glance
5

We apply on your behalf

This is the part other job sites leave to you. For every match, Skills Factory prepares the whole application and sends it for you.

  • A CV rewritten for that advert, and a cover letter addressed to that employer
  • Sent to the employer's email from your address, or from Skills Factory with your name on it
  • Approve each one in a tap, or let auto-pilot send good matches within your daily limit
  • Found a job somewhere else? Paste the advert or its link and we apply to it too

Track replies and prepare for interviews

Every application lives in one list, so you always know where you stand.

  • Statuses for each application: ready for approval, sent, interview, offer, hired
  • Likely interview questions and STAR stories built from your own work history
  • A company research brief and a short introduction to send to recruiters
  • Record outcomes so your matches get better over time
7

Grow your network and your career

Getting the job is the start. Skills Factory keeps working for you afterwards.

  • Connect with classmates, colleagues and people in the jobs you want
  • A feed that learns what you care about from what you like, the training you take and who you engage with
  • Messages, photos, documents, voice notes and audio and video calls with your connections
  • Free job-readiness courses with real, verifiable certificates added to your profile and CV

Three ways to apply. Switch any time.

However you choose, every application is written for that job from your own facts.

I apply myself

You pick a job, we prepare the tailored CV and cover letter, you check them and press send.

  • Full control of every word
  • Good for a few carefully chosen jobs

Find matches, ask me first

We find matching jobs every day and prepare the applications. You approve each one in a tap.

  • Nothing goes without your yes
  • Approve in a tap from your dashboard

Auto-pilot

We find good matches, prepare the applications and send them for you, within your daily limit.

  • Applies while you study or work
  • Skips employers you blocked and jobs you do not qualify for

What goes into every application we send

A tailored CV

Your experience reordered so the most relevant work comes first, with the advert's key skills brought forward.

A cover letter for that employer

Addressed to the organisation and the role, in plain, confident English.

Applicant-tracking checks

Contact details, dates, headings and keywords checked, with one-click fixes.

Match insights

Which skills you have, which the advert also mentions, and how strong the fit is.

Must-have checks

Required degrees, licences or years of experience compared with your profile first.

Interview preparation

Likely questions and STAR stories from your own history, ready if they call.

Applying for you, safely

  • Only your facts

    Nothing invented: no fake employers, dates, grades or numbers.

  • Employers you skip

    Auto-pilot never applies to organisations on your skip list.

  • Daily limits

    A clear number of applications a day, so employers never see spam.

  • Pause any time

    Stop auto-pilot for a day, a week or until you switch it back on.

  • No duplicates

    We never apply to the same job twice, and closed jobs are skipped.

  • Everything visible

    Every application we send is in your list, with the exact CV and letter.

For employers and training providers

Post jobs, internships and graduate programmes and receive complete, consistent applications. Training providers can reach people actively building their careers.

Questions people ask

Still unsure? Create a free account and look around. You choose how much we send for you.

How long does it take to set up?

About ten minutes. Upload your CV and we fill in most of your profile for you. Check it, choose up to six job categories and pick how you want to apply.

Do I have to use auto-pilot?

No. You can apply to each job yourself with a tailored CV and letter, have us find matches and ask you first, or switch on auto-pilot. You can change mode at any time in Settings.

Where do the jobs come from?

From employers who post on Skills Factory and from public adverts we collect from across Zimbabwe. You can also paste any advert you found elsewhere and we will prepare an application for it.

What if I do not meet every requirement?

Each job shows its must-haves next to your profile. Auto-pilot skips jobs where you clearly do not qualify; you can still choose to apply yourself.

Can employers see my profile?

Your details reach an employer when an application goes to them. On your profile you choose who can see it: everyone on Skills Factory, your connections and employers you apply to, or only you.

What happens when I get a job?

Mark the outcome on your application, pause auto-pilot, and keep using your network, feed and events to grow in the role.
