What's New

🇩🇪 JobMentis Now Speaks German

Guten Tag! Our biggest language launch of the year: JobMentis is now fully available in German. And when we say fully, we mean fully. Every surface, every tool, every guide:

• The entire app UI, from onboarding to the CV editor to the coach portal.
• The full Interview Hub and Salary Hub catalogs, translated across companies, roles, and prose.
• WorkFive Workplace DNA and archetype copy, in your language.
• Emails, nudges, action center, and every AI-generated document.

And a detail we care about: we address you informally, with du, not the stiff formal Sie. Because job hunting is personal, and your career OS shouldn't sound like a bank letter.

🤖 Claude Skills for Job Hunting

We just published our first Claude Skill for job hunting, and open-sourced the whole thing. If you use Claude, you can now install a job-hunting skill built on the same rigour that powers JobMentis. Head to the new Claude Skills for Job Hunting page to learn how it works, why we're doing it, and how to install it. Career expertise, embedded directly into the AI you already use.

🎯 Tracker: A Real Fit Score for Every Job

Fit scores used to be a single number. We've turned them into a real assessment: every tracked job is now scored across 4 honest dimensions, with a written verdict and a clear list of gaps to close:

• Skills: what the JD asks for versus what your CV proves.
• Experience: whether your past roles line up with what this one needs.
• Story coverage: whether your Story Bank has the STAR ammunition to survive the interview loop.
• Career direction: whether this move actually takes you where you say you want to go.

Click any Fit badge to open the full breakdown: bars for each dimension, strengths listed out, and specific gap chips you can action on the spot.

📊 See the Pattern Across Every Application (PRO)

One missing skill on one job is a coincidence. The same missing skill on eight jobs is a signal. Our new cross-application gap aggregation looks at every job you've tracked and rolls up the gaps into a single view: the recurring skill, experience, and story shortfalls that are actually blocking you. Fix them once, and dozens of applications suddenly get easier. PRO users can now see the shape of their real job-hunting bottleneck, not just symptom by symptom.

✅ Groundedness: We Fact-Check Ourselves

AI writing tools have a trust problem: they quietly change your numbers, invent claims, or crank up the enthusiasm. We just shipped a groundedness review pass on every CV rewrite and cover letter that catches all three:

• Number integrity: if you said "73%," it stays 73%. Never "over 70%," never "roughly three-quarters." A deterministic diff auto-reverts any figure the AI mutated.
• Unsourced claims: new "facts" the AI invented on your behalf are flagged for you to keep, correct, or delete.
• Invented enthusiasm: "passionate," "world-class," and other adjectives you never said get called out before they ship.

The point: what leaves JobMentis with your name on it is grounded in what you actually did, not what the AI wished you had done.

💼 Salary Negotiation: The 5th Guided Path

You've run the interviews. You have an offer in hand. Now what? Our brand-new fifth Guided Path, Salary Negotiation, walks you through every step between "offer received" and "signed for more." Built on the Worth compensation benchmark, it turns the numbers on your offer into a real negotiation plan tuned to your role, your market, and the leverage you actually have. Available AI-only, or with an Expert coach in your corner for the highest-stakes conversations.

📈 LinkedIn 2026: The Rules Have Changed

LinkedIn quietly rewired its ranking model this year (the "360Brew" era), and content that landed well in 2025 no longer reaches the same audience in 2026. Two brand-new guides break down what actually gets seen now:

• LinkedIn Algorithm Guide: what the new model rewards, what it kills, and why your reach may have quietly dropped.
• LinkedIn Content Strategy: how to structure posts, comments, and cadence to actually build audience under the new rules.

And we didn't just document the change. We rebuilt the writing rules inside our LinkedIn Optimizer and Content Engine to match, so what we produce for you is what actually gets seen.

🏢 Missing a Company? Ask for It

We now decode 1,000+ employers, but there's always one more you care about. When you search the Interview Hub for a company we don't yet cover, a new "Request coverage" chip lets you tell us in one click: "This is the company I care about." Your ask goes straight into our content pipeline and directly shapes what we prioritise next. The more searches for a name, the faster it lands.

✍️ CV Editor: Now Default, Now Sharper

The visual editor we launched last week is now the default experience on every CV. No more form on the left, preview on the right. You edit directly on a real-looking page, exactly as recruiters will see it: sentences, spacing, layout, page breaks, all in one place. And under the hood, a stack of quality-of-life upgrades:

• Rock-solid PDF & DOCX exports: we rebuilt the download pipeline for reliability. Whichever format the target ATS prefers, the file comes out clean, parseable, and pixel-tight.
• Smoother section reordering: drag Experience above Education, or slide Skills into a sidebar, and the page reflows in real time without a jump.
• More polish, less friction: better autosave, cleaner keyboard shortcuts, sharper typography, calmer transitions. The kind of upgrades you feel more than you see.

The classic split-view editor stays available as a fallback if you prefer it, but the visual editor is now the canonical experience.

🎨 Four New CV Templates

Your CV is the first impression. We've added four new templates to the library so it looks like you, not like everyone else:

• Merlot Executive: serif type with deep burgundy accents, centered and refined. For senior candidates who want their CV to feel like a boardroom, not a job application.
• Compact Pro: tighter type, tighter spacing, zero wasted white space. Built for experienced candidates who need to fit a full career onto one page without shrinking down to unreadable microprint.
• Coastal Teal: cool teal accents, generous spacing, a modern and calm feel. Great fit for design, product, or wellness roles where the CV should feel human first, corporate second.
• Aubergine Modern: rich plum accents on a clean, contemporary sans-serif. Distinctive without shouting. A confident, tasteful choice for candidates who want to stand out without being loud.

🎓 Coaching Packs, Sold Separately

Our AI + Human Expert tiers bundle coaching into a full Guided Path. But sometimes you just want the human support on its own, without a whole workflow attached. So we've added Coaching Packs as standalone add-ons on the Objectives screen. Buy just the sessions, use them however you want, whenever you need them.

✍️ A Brand-New CV Editor

We rebuilt the CV editor from the ground up. Everything is faster, cleaner, and finally usable on the device you actually carry around:

• Mobile-friendly: edit your CV from your phone — touch targets, layout, preview, all sized for the small screen.
• Faster edits: snappier typing, snappier saves, snappier rewrites. Less waiting, more shipping.
• Live page split: see exactly where page 1 ends and page 2 begins, in real time — so you stop guessing whether that last bullet is bleeding onto a second page.
• Highlight Mode (new): instantly surface which keywords from the job description are already in your CV, which are missing, and which bullets are doing the heavy lifting. Tailoring becomes a visual exercise, not a guessing game.

🛤️ Guided Path Tracks — Now With Expert Human Support

Our Guided Paths already string the right tools into the right order for one specific objective. Now every paid track ships in two flavours — AI-only for self-directed users, and AI + Human Expert for when you want a real coach in your corner. Three tracks, three concrete outcomes:

• Targeted Application — Beat the ATS. Outcome: a CV and cover letter tailored to one specific role, ATS-optimised for that employer's parser, ready to send. The fastest path from "I saw this job posting" to "I just applied with the right document."
• Interview Prep — Ace the Interview. Outcome: a full prep dossier on the company, their interview process, the exact questions you're likely to face, and a Story Bank of STAR answers you can deliver under pressure. Walk in knowing what's coming.
• Career Pivot — Change Tracks. Outcome: a Pathfinder-driven route from where you are to where you want to land — stepping-stone roles, the people you need to meet, and the stories you need to build. The deepest track, for the biggest move.

And the free Career Base Camp path is still there for anyone who wants to explore before committing.

🔎 Universal Search — Find Anything, Anywhere

Hit ⌘K from anywhere in the app and find what you need in one keystroke. We've now expanded the index well beyond features and pages — Universal Search now spans:

• Company Intelligence: jump straight to any of our 1,000+ decoded employers — their values, interview process, ATS, and questions.
• Your reports: find any career report, audit, or analysis you've ever generated, instantly.
• Your CVs: every tailored version, named, dated, one keystroke away.

Plus the tracked jobs, stories, contacts, and interviews already in there. One palette, your entire job search.

🎁 A More Generous Free Tier

We're giving free users more room to actually use the platform without hitting a wall:

• Unlimited Application Tracker: track as many roles as you want, free forever. No cap, no nag.
• 10 Free Story Bank slots: enough to capture the core STAR stories that power your CV, LinkedIn, and interview prep — at zero cost.

🧭 Pathfinder: From Where You Are to Where You Want to Land

Pick a target company and a target role. Pathfinder turns it into an actionable route — not vague advice, not a "career roadmap" PDF. A specific plan tuned to your WorkFive DNA, work history, Story Bank, and the company you're aiming at:

• Gap analysis: the honest list of skills, experiences, and signals you're missing — and the ones you already have but aren't selling.
• Stepping-stone roles: up to 3 intermediate jobs that realistically bridge you to the target — because sometimes the straight line isn't the right line.
• People to meet: up to 8 networking personas — the kind of person, the role they're in, and a ready-made LinkedIn search to find them. One click sends them straight into Outreach as a target group.
• Stories to build: up to 8 STAR prompts pinpointing the exact stories you should be crafting before you walk into this interview. Sent straight into your Story Bank with a click.

Pathfinder is wired into the rest of JobMentis end-to-end: Tracker (link a tracked job to a path), Outreach (people you should be talking to), Story Bank (stories you should be telling). It's the most opinionated thing we've built — and it's free to try (3 paths) before you go Pro (10).

🏢 1,000+ Top Employers Decoded

We just crossed the 1,000-company mark in our employer database. Every one is decoded across the dimensions that actually matter when you apply — what they value, how they interview, which ATS sits between you and the recruiter, and the questions you're most likely to face. From household names to the quiet European champions, odds are the company you're targeting is already in there.

💰 Worth: Your Live Compensation Benchmark

Brand new tool, and it might be the most actionable thing we've shipped. Worth pulls your work history, role, location, and current package — base, bonus, equity, benefits — and gives you a live compensation benchmark grounded in global salary data:

• Full distribution: see where you sit at the p25, p50, p75, and p90 for your role in your market — not a single fuzzy "average."
• Per-experience benchmarking: got two roles, two employers, two cities? Benchmark each independently. The same job in Milan, Berlin, or London is not the same number.
• Negotiation narrative: a written brief, tuned to your CV, that tells you what to ask for and how to justify it when the offer lands.

📨 Outreach: LinkedIn Lead Gen, Run By You

Tracking jobs is half the battle. The other half is reaching the right humans inside the right companies. Our new Outreach module turns LinkedIn into a real prospecting workspace — and crucially, you run every message by hand in your own browser. No automation, no risk to your account.

• Target Groups: build saved LinkedIn searches by title, location, industry, current/past employer, and school. Paste an existing LinkedIn URL and we'll decode it into an editable group — or hit "I'm feeling lucky" to generate one straight from your profile.
• Sequences: reusable, personalised message templates with merge tokens like {{firstName}} — so the connection request, the follow-up, and the value-add all sound like you, not like a bot.
• Wired into the Tracker: tracked a role? Outreach surfaces the people you should actually be talking to at that company.

🎤 50,000 Interview Questions

Our Interview Questions Bank has officially crossed 50,000 real questions — more than double what we shipped a month ago. Same coverage promise: sourced, deduplicated, tagged by role, round, and competency, and available across 5 languages and 11 role types. Whatever job you're prepping for, we almost certainly have the question.

🧬 Career Archetypes: Your Professional Identity, Named

We've launched a brand-new Career Archetype system, built on top of the WorkFive taxonomy. We read your CV, score it across 30 professional facets, and match you to the archetype that best captures how you actually work — Strategist, Builder, Connector, Operator, and dozens more. You'll see your archetype show up in:

• Your account page and dashboard, so you always know which lens we're applying.
• Your Full Report and interview hub, where it informs which roles we think you'd actually thrive in — not just qualify for.
• Your nudges and emails, now written in your language and tuned to the way your archetype tends to make career moves.

✨ LinkedIn Optimizer: Style & Personality Controls

Your LinkedIn shouldn't sound like everyone else's. Two new controls put you in the driver's seat of the optimizer:

• Writing Style: pick the tone you want — punchy and confident, warm and human, formal and precise — and we rewrite your About and headline to match.
• Personality Source: choose what gets infused — your WorkFive Workplace DNA, your Story Bank, both, or neither. You decide how much of you shows up.

🎤 Mock Interviews: Sharper Company Intel

Mock interviews keep getting closer to the real thing. Three upgrades under the hood:

• A new AI context layer packs everything we know about you into every session — efficiently, without losing nuance.
• Sharper company intelligence means questions and follow-ups now reflect how this specific employer actually interviews, not a generic template.
• A new role resolver aligns the session with the actual job family on the JD — so a "Product Manager" mock at a fintech isn't the same as one at a B2B SaaS company.

🛡️ ATS Intelligence, Wired Into Everything

Our ATS and company intelligence guides aren't standalone reading anymore - they're now embedded directly into your Application Tracker and CV Editor. Every CV you tailor optimizes for four things at once:

• You: your WorkFive Workplace DNA, work history, and Story Bank.
• The role: the exact job description and competencies it demands.
• The company: what this employer actually values and how they interview.
• The ATS: the specific parser standing between you and the recruiter - Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, and more.

And when you hit download, we pick the right format (DOCX vs PDF, single vs two-column) for that ATS family - so your CV makes it through the parser intact and lands in front of a human.

✍️ CV Editor: Smart Remaster

The CV Editor is more refined than ever. Sentences read like a human wrote them - natural, specific, recruiter-ready - instead of the buzzword soup you get from generic AI rewriters. And we've added a brand-new Smart Remaster for bullet points: a guided rewrite that

• Highlights the weak spots in your bullet - missing scope, vague verbs, no outcome.
• Asks the right questions to pull out the details only you know - the metric, the constraint, the impact.
• Rewrites it into a powerful sentence that proves the impact instead of just claiming it.

🎤 Question Bank: 23,000+ Questions, 440+ Companies

Our Interview Questions Bank just grew up. We now cover 23,000+ real interview questions across 440+ companies, spanning 11 role types and fully available in 5 languages. Whether you're a Product Manager in Berlin, a Software Engineer in Madrid, or a Data Scientist in Athens, your prep matches your role, your target, and the language you actually interview in.

🛡️ ATS Guides: The First 12 Companies, Decoded

Before a human ever reads your CV, an Applicant Tracking System - Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, SuccessFactors, iCIMS - decides whether it makes the cut. And every major employer's setup behaves differently. We've launched our first 12 ATS Guides, each one a deep dive into how a specific company's stack actually parses, scores, and ranks your application. You'll learn exactly which fields matter, which formatting tricks backfire (looking at you, two-column PDFs), and how to tailor your CV to the inner workings of that ATS. More companies rolling out every week.

🎤 Interview Questions Bank: 300 Companies, 16,000+ Real Questions

Walk into any interview already knowing what's likely to come up. Our new Interview Questions Bank covers 300 companies and 16,000+ real interview questions - sourced, deduplicated, and tagged by role, round, and competency.

• Public pages: open, company-by-company question explorers - great for early research and figuring out which firms align with the way you interview best.
• Private pages: signed-in deeper views with role-specific filtering, sample answer frameworks, and direct links back to your Story Bank so you can map your own stories to the questions you're most likely to face.

🧠 Mock Interviews That Actually Sound Like You

Mock interviews now ingest everything we know about you and the role: your WorkFive Workplace DNA, your full work history, your Story Bank, the exact job description, and our latest company intelligence for the employer you're targeting. The result is a session calibrated to this role at this company - questions and follow-ups that mirror what their real interviewers ask, and feedback that already knows your strengths instead of guessing.

🧬 WorkFive, Everywhere It Matters

Your WorkFive Workplace DNA is no longer a standalone report - it's now the personality engine behind the tools you use every day. We've infused it directly into three flagship experiences so every output sounds unmistakably like you:

• LinkedIn Profile Optimizer: headlines and About sections now lean into your core drivers and working style, not generic buzzwords.
• CV Writing: bullet points are reframed around the strengths your DNA profile highlights, so recruiters see the version of you that actually wins the role.
• Interview Training: mock questions and feedback now account for how you think, decide, and communicate - no more one-size-fits-all coaching.

📘 The Full Report Is Here

Our most comprehensive career analysis has officially landed. The Full Report pulls together your career history, WorkFive DNA, and Story Bank into a single long-form deep dive: where you are, where you could realistically go next, and the specific moves that get you there. It runs in the background while you keep working - we'll tell you the moment it's ready.

📖 Story Bank, Promoted

Your career stories are the rawest, most personal material we have to work with - so we moved the Story Bank out of the sidebar and made it a top-level feature. It's faster to find, richer to use, and now includes:

• Voice Braindump: hit record and just talk. We'll turn your stream of thought into a clean, structured STAR story - perfect for when typing feels like friction.
• Better Guidance: inline prompts help you pull out the right details - the stakes, your specific actions, the measurable outcome - so every story pulls its weight in an interview.
• Skills Checklist: see at a glance which competencies your stories already prove - and which gaps to fill before your next interview round.

The more stories you log, the more personal everything else becomes: your CV, your LinkedIn, your mock interviews, your Full Report. This is the feature that makes JobMentis truly yours.
