As of 13 August 2026, AI can find jobs that match your experience.
Most people should do this themselves; the prompt is on this page.

What the alternative costsA specialist AI job-search workspace such as Teal directly supports CV tailoring, job searching and application tracking.
If this goes wrong: you spend time on unsuitable or closed vacancies, but you can discard the shortlist before applying.
What to actually do
Do it yourself
The route this page recommends
A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.
How to actually do it
- Open your current CV and a notes document, then list your recent roles, responsibilities, measurable achievements, qualifications, software and transferable skills without adding claims you could not defend.
- Write down your target job titles, preferred UK locations, maximum commute, remote or hybrid preference, salary requirement and whether you want permanent, temporary or contract work.
- Paste the CV summary and preferences into the prompt, then ask the chatbot to search current UK vacancies and cite the original vacancy page for every result.
- Open each cited vacancy on the employer's website or the named job board and remove any listing that is closed, duplicated, inaccurate or not actually based in your preferred location.
- Compare each remaining vacancy's essential requirements with your CV and mark each match as strong, possible or weak using the evidence shown in the listing.
- Ask the chatbot to turn the verified shortlist into a table ordered by fit, with one missing requirement and one application action for each role.
- Save the vacancy URLs and closing dates in an application tracker, then apply through the employer or trusted job-board page rather than relying on the chatbot to submit anything.
Prompt
Find current UK jobs that match my experience using the information below. My experience and skills: [PASTE YOUR CV OR A FACTUAL SUMMARY OF YOUR EXPERIENCE] Target roles: [LIST JOB TITLES OR SAY WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU WANT] Location and working pattern: [LOCATION, COMMUTING LIMIT, REMOTE OR HYBRID PREFERENCE] Salary and employment preferences: [MINIMUM SALARY, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME, PERMANENT OR CONTRACT] Other requirements: [INDUSTRIES, ORGANISATIONS, QUALIFICATIONS, VISA OR ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS] Search only for roles that are currently open and relevant to my stated experience. Use UK employers and UK spelling. For every result, give the job title, employer, location, working pattern, salary if published, closing date if published, application URL, and three specific reasons it matches my experience. Also list the most important requirement I may not meet and label the match as strong, possible or weak. Do not invent vacancies, employers, salaries, dates, requirements or URLs. Cite the vacancy page for every result. If you cannot access live job listings, say that clearly and instead give me precise search terms and filters to use on UK job boards. Do not rank a role highly merely because its title matches. Separate facts taken from the vacancy from your assessment of the match.
Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

The distant thirdA person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
What it gets wrong
- It cannot reliably know that a vacancy is still open unless it can access and inspect a current listing.
- It cannot tell from a job description whether the manager, team or working environment will suit you.
- It treats your CV as the complete account of your experience and misses informal achievements or constraints you did not mention.
- It can overvalue matching keywords and undervalue career direction, motivation and evidence of progression.
- It cannot confirm that an unfamiliar job advert or recruiter is genuine without you checking the employer and application route.
Even on a YES, the friction has a name: real time truth, judgement under ambiguity and context depth.

FAQ
- Can ChatGPT find jobs for me?
- Yes, it can produce a shortlist from your CV, preferences and current vacancy pages. You must open each cited listing yourself because a chatbot may not have live access or may misread whether a vacancy is still open.
- Can AI match my CV to job descriptions?
- Yes. It can compare your stated skills and experience with the essential and desirable requirements, then explain the gaps. Its match is only as good as the facts in your CV and it cannot judge every aspect of personal fit.
- Can AI find jobs near me in the UK?
- Yes, if you provide a location, commuting limit and working-pattern preference and the tool can access current listings. Check the original advert for the exact workplace, remote-work conditions and closing date before applying.
- What is the best AI tool for finding jobs?
- Teal is a suitable purpose-built option because it combines AI job searching, CV tailoring and application tracking. A general chatbot can still help if you supply the vacancy pages and ask it to make no unsupported claims.
