Seeker quick reference
First 10 Minutes in TraceScout
Ten truthful first steps. For complete explanations, use the Guide or Training Centre.
What this reference does
Connects the seeker journey to the current page and the next real action.
First action
Attest a source resume you can stand behind, then browse or evaluate roles.
What good looks like
You understand why a role aligns, what evidence supports it, what is missing, and what you will do next.
Source-of-truth rule
Your candidate-attested source resume grounds matching and tailoring. Unsupported claims are not added.
1. Set your search focus
Preferences
Choose your country, precise target roles, seniority and remote/location preferences.
2. Upload your source resume
Resume
Upload a supported file and wait until TraceScout finishes reading it.
3. Review every line
Resume → Review
Correct reading errors. Do not attest information you cannot stand behind.
4. Attest the version
Resume → Attest
Confirm that the reviewed content is accurate and yours. This unlocks matching.
5. Open Matches
Matches
Read the score, rationale, strengths and gaps as decision support—not verification or an outcome promise.
6. Look wider
Browse
Search the active posting pool and open the employer's original posting.
7. Prepare truthfully
A current match
Follow the eligibility shown for that role. Tailored content must stay traceable to your attested source.
8. Record what you applied to
Applications
Apply externally, then keep your stage and private notes current in TraceScout.
9. Use Home for the next move
Home
Review current opportunities, recorded changes, pipeline and search context without treating them as predictions.
10. Know where to get help
Seeker Help Centre
Search current articles, use the detailed Guide, or learn through the Training Centre.
Keep these boundaries clear
- Resume claims are candidate-attested, not independently verified.
- A score compares one attested resume with one posting; it does not guarantee an interview or job.
- A verified resume was checked against the relevant attested source version.
- Apply on the employer's own site. Keep your TraceScout application stage current yourself.
