Sonara AI Platform

Getting Started: Logging In and Setting Up

When you first visit Sonara, your first move is to create an account or log in if you already have one. The login process is straightforward but worth walking through so you don’t get stuck.

Simply head to the login page by clicking the “Login” button on our homepage or going directly to sonara.ai/login. You’ll enter your email and password, and if you’re on your own device, check the “Remember me” box to stay signed in for 30 days.

If you forget your password, just hit the “Forgot Password?” link. You’ll get a reset email in about 5-10 minutes—check your spam folder if you don’t see it right away.

For extra security, we support two-factor authentication. When enabled, after entering your password, you’ll need to input a code sent to your phone or authenticator app. It’s a quick step that keeps your account safe.

Once logged in, you land on your personalized dashboard, ready to build your profile and start matching with jobs.

Building Your Profile: The Key to Smart Matching

Once you’re in, the first thing to focus on is your profile. Uploading your resume isn’t just a formality—it’s the core of how our AI understands your background.

Our platform does more than keyword scanning. It parses your CV to extract details about your education, work history, and skills, creating a detailed professional snapshot. This snapshot is what powers both job matching and auto-filling applications for you.

Make sure your profile is complete and up to date. Double-check your contact info, work dates, certifications, and especially your skills. The better the info, the more accurate the matches.

Think of it like introducing yourself to a recruiter—if you’re vague, they can’t help much. But if you’re clear and detailed, you’ll get better opportunities.

Setting Your Preferences: Guide Our AI to Find the Right Jobs

Here’s where you teach Sonara what you want. Instead of endlessly scrolling through job boards, you set your preferences and let the AI bring relevant jobs to you.

You can specify job titles, locations (like remote or specific cities), industries, and salary ranges.

We recommend being specific with job titles—”Marketing Director” will get better results than just “Marketing.”

• Choose locations thoughtfully; commute times matter.
• Use the salary slider to set realistic expectations—aim for at least 10% above your current salary if possible.
• Focus on 2-3 industries max to keep matches relevant.

Over time, the AI learns from your interactions. If you skip certain roles consistently, it adjusts. It’s like having a recruiter who gets better at understanding you the more you use the platform.

Subscription Model: What You Get for Your Investment

We keep things affordable at $5.95/month billed annually or monthly if that suits you better. The subscription unlocks the auto-apply feature and advanced tools that save you hours every week.

Without a subscription, you can still find job matches and manage your profile, but the real time-saver is the automated application process.

• Unlimited auto-applications sent on your behalf
• Priority AI matching with enhanced algorithms
• Interview scheduling and reminder tools
• Detailed application tracking
• Premium customer support

How Auto-Apply Works: Let AI Handle the Busywork

This feature is a game changer. Once your preferences are set and your profile is built, our AI scans job listings and places suitable matches in your dashboard.

When you choose to auto-apply, here’s what happens step-by-step:

1. The AI analyzes the job posting to pick out key requirements.
2. It matches those requirements against your skills and experience.
3. Then it generates a tailored application, including a customized cover letter—not just copy-paste.
4. The system submits the application for you.
5. Finally, it tracks any responses or status updates.

But here’s the thing: we always suggest reviewing each application before submission. Our AI is smart but sometimes misses nuances only you can catch.

Navigating Your Dashboard: Your Job Search Hub

Your dashboard is where you’ll spend most of your time. It’s designed to keep everything organized and accessible.

Here’s a quick look at the main sections:

• Job Matches: Fresh roles our AI found for you.
• Applications: Track where your applications stand.
• Interview Management: Schedule and prepare for interviews.
• Profile Settings: Update resume, contact info, and preferences.

The dashboard auto-refreshes, so you always see the latest info without manual reloads. Sessions timeout after 8 hours for security unless you selected “Remember me” during login.

Interview Scheduling and Management Made Easy

When employers reach out for interviews, our platform helps you handle scheduling without the back-and-forth emails.

You set your availability in your profile, and companies can book slots that fit your calendar. The system automatically adjusts for time zones, which is a lifesaver if you’re dealing with remote roles across the USA.

Plus, you get automated reminders before your interviews, so you won’t miss a thing. Afterward, you can log feedback and next steps right in the dashboard.

Understanding AI Matching: What Makes Our System Different

Our AI doesn’t just look for keywords. It evaluates your full profile, including skills, experience, industries, and even company culture fit. Plus, it learns from what you do—if you keep passing on certain roles, the AI adjusts future matches accordingly.

Here’s what our matching algorithm considers:

• Hard and soft skills alignment
• Experience level and career path
• Industry background and transferable skills
• Location and remote work preferences
• Salary expectations versus market rates
• Culture fit based on your profile data

Privacy, Security, and Data Protection

We get it—your personal data is precious. That’s why we use end-to-end encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA regulations. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security.

Your information is only shared with employers when you apply. We don’t let recruiters browse profiles without explicit permission.

Troubleshooting and Realistic Expectations

Technology isn’t flawless, so here are quick fixes for common hiccups:

• Login issues? Double-check your email and reset your password if needed.
• Application problems? Make sure your profile and resume are complete and your subscription is active.
• Technical glitches? Refresh, try another browser, or log out and back in.

Remember, Sonara automates a lot, but it can’t guarantee offers or replace your personal effort. Stay engaged, review matches, and customize applications for the best results.
