"AI-powered job matching" gets used loosely enough that it's often unclear what's actually happening behind it. Here's what actually happens when you use Tendela, broken down by the three AI agents that do the work.
The Hunter: Finding Opportunities
The first stage is discovery. Tendela's "Hunter" agent scrapes external sources to find job opportunities and match them against candidate profiles — rather than you manually searching job boards one at a time, the Hunter is doing that search continuously in the background.
The Recruiter: Ranking Candidates
Once opportunities are found, the "Recruiter" agent ranks candidates based on skill-to-job alignment. This is the actual matching step — comparing your profile, CV, and skills data against what a role actually requires, rather than just keyword-matching a job title.
The Applicant: Submitting Applications
For subscribed users, the "Applicant" agent submits applications autonomously once a strong match is found — turning the matching and ranking work into an actual application, instead of leaving you to manually apply once you're notified.
You're Still in Control
None of this replaces human decision-making at the point that matters: final hiring decisions are always made by the human Providers (employers) you apply to. You can also contest AI rankings or request a manual review, and the matching algorithms are audited regularly. You can update your CV, delete your profile, or opt out of automated ranking at any time.
Where Your CV Comes From
The Recruiter's matching is only as good as the CV and profile data it's working from. That's why Tendela's AI CV generation exists as its own step — building a CV and motivational letter tailored to the kind of roles the Hunter is finding, rather than relying on one generic CV for every application.
