Account Setup Loopcv

Starting Your Loopcv Account

Setting up your Loopcv account doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you register with email or link your Google or LinkedIn accounts, the process is straightforward. But here’s the thing: how you set it up can affect how well our AI matches you with jobs and helps you negotiate offers.

For email registration, you’ll enter a valid email, create a secure password (at least 8 characters with letters and numbers), confirm it, and accept terms. Alternatively, social media options speed things up by importing your professional info, especially LinkedIn, which pulls your work history and skills to jumpstart your profile.

Verifying Your Email and Securing Your Account

Once you sign up, keep an eye on your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification email. Clicking the confirmation link usually takes 2-3 minutes but is essential to unlock full features.

We highly recommend setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra protection. You can choose SMS or email-based 2FA in your account security settings. It’s quick to enable and gives you peace of mind, especially when you’re sharing salary info and negotiating offers.

Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

1. Go to your Account Settings.
2. Click on the Security tab.
3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
4. Select SMS or Email as your method.
5. Enter the code sent to verify setup.

Navigating Your Dashboard and Profile Setup

After logging in, the dashboard gives you a clean overview of your job search activity. You’ll see your profile completion status, active job loops, recent applications, and salary insights powered by our Salary & Offer Calculator.

Completing your profile thoroughly is key. The better your profile, the smarter our AI matches jobs and salary recommendations.

What to Include in Your Profile

• Basic Info: Full name, headline, location, contacts
• Professional Details: Experience, education, skills, certifications
• Salary Expectations: Important for accurate offer calculations

Uploading and Optimizing Your Resume

Our platform accepts PDFs and DOCX files up to 5MB. But here’s the thing: fancy resume designs with multiple columns or images can confuse our parsing AI. Keep it clean and simple so the system reads your info right.

Best Practices for Resume Uploads

• Use PDF for formatting consistency or DOCX for better text extraction
• Avoid images, complex tables, and unusual fonts
• Stick to single-column layouts and standard section headers

Why ATS Optimization Matters

Our AI looks for key resume elements like contact info, work history, skills, education, and achievements. Matching keywords in your resume to job descriptions helps the Salary & Offer Calculator suggest accurate salary ranges.

Setting Job Search Preferences That Work

Choosing your job search filters well can save you loads of time. You can set multiple locations, remote or hybrid work options, and even commute limits. Being flexible with locations often means more opportunities.

Salary Range Setup with the Salary & Offer Calculator

Instead of guessing, use our calculator to find realistic salary ranges based on your experience, industry, and location. A smart strategy is to set your minimum about 10-15% below market average and your maximum 20-25% above it. This gives you room to negotiate.

Creating Your First Job Search Loop

A job loop is like having a personal assistant continuously hunting for jobs that fit your criteria. You define job titles, experience levels, industries, and company sizes. The loop then automates searching, applying, following up, and even interview scheduling.

How to Configure Your Loop

1. Choose primary and alternative job titles.
2. Set experience level and industry preferences.
3. Specify company size and location preferences.
4. Decide which automation features to enable (auto-apply, AI messaging, scheduling).
5. Launch your loop and monitor matches.
