Three steps, ten minutes

1

Drop in your CV

Flagdown reads your skills, how long you've used each one, and the titles you've held. Nothing is stored except what you confirm.

2

Say what you want

Pay floor in your currency, remote or hybrid, commute distance, contract or permanent, titles you're after and titles you're done with.

3

Work the inbox

Best matches first, with why each one scored what it did. Shortlist with one key, apply with one click, and let the follow-up reminders run.

Explained, not just ranked

Every score shows its working

Skills, role, location, level, pay and freshness each earn points, and each line says why. A posting that leans on a stack you've used for years scores higher than one that leans on something you've dabbled in.

Why this score: skills 33 of 35, role 25 of 25, location 20 of 20, with the reasons beside each Why this score: skills 33 of 35, role 25 of 25, location 20 of 20, with the reasons beside each

Where and howRemote, hybrid or on-site, office days, the region a remote role is open to, and the commute from your home.
The small printContract or permanent, IR35, visa sponsorship, clearance, years asked for, and whether a recruiter sits in between.
Red flags"Fast-paced", "wear many hats", unpaid trials and the rest, quoted from the posting so you can judge them yourself.
WatchesStanding searches for a kind of role or a company. New matches light up the moment they're found.
The rideShortlisted, applied, interviewing, offer. Applying starts a follow-up clock so nothing goes quietly cold.

Straight answers

Does it apply for me?

No. It gets you to the form with the fields filled and the letter written, then stops. You press submit. That's deliberate.

Where do the jobs come from?

Company career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workable, plus the remote-first boards and Hacker News hiring threads. The coverage is strongest for software roles in the UK, Europe and remote worldwide.

What happens to my CV?

It's read once, in your browser for PDFs, and only the fields you confirm are kept: your skills, titles and contact details. The file itself is not stored.

Is anything shared with a third party?

Your home town goes to OpenStreetMap to work out distances, and exchange rates come from the European Central Bank. Nothing about you is sent to any job board or employer until you apply.

Can I delete everything?

Yes, from your account page, in one click. It removes your account and everything Flagdown holds about you.
