Key takeaways

The short version.

  • RoleRank compares new openings with your résumé and shows the reasons each one fits, what it may be missing and a link to the original posting.
  • RoleRank checks for new openings once a day and whenever you ask. It is not a live feed, so a role posted a minute ago may not show yet.
  • Texts and emails from RoleRank are part of its Premium plan, which is not open yet. On the free plan you see matches when you open your list or ask your assistant.
  • Instinct's homepage says you can text or call it. Its public pages do not say whether it can add a connector or send you messages on its own, so check with Instinct before relying on either.
  • Nothing here is an official partnership, listing or built-in integration. RoleRank never applies for you.

Who it is for

Who is this pairing for?

  • RoleRank does the sorting.

  • Instinct describes itself as a personal assistant that understands what you are working on and what matters to you, and its homepage says…

It is for people who are looking for work while holding down a day, and who would rather ask a quick question in a text thread than open four job boards before coffee.

RoleRank does the sorting. You upload a résumé, set must-haves such as remote only, a pay floor or companies you want to watch, and it checks new openings against your real experience. Each match comes with the reasons it fits, anything worth checking and a link to the original posting. When nothing fits, it says so instead of padding the list.

Instinct describes itself as a personal assistant that understands what you are working on and what matters to you, and its homepage says you can text or call it. That makes it a natural place for the follow-up questions. The honest caveat is that a text from Instinct about a new job is not something either site promises today.

Use cases

4 ways people use RoleRank + Instinct.

  1. Morning check

    1. Ask for the new matches over breakfast

    RoleRank looks for new openings once a day, so a natural rhythm is to ask once each morning: any new jobs that fit my résumé? RoleRank answers with the strongest few, each with its reasons and its gaps.

    If your assistant can read RoleRank through its connector (see the setup section), you can ask that in the thread you already use. If it cannot, open your RoleRank list instead. Either way the ranking comes from RoleRank, not from the chat.

  2. Early and selective

    2. Apply early, but only to roles worth the effort

    New roles can fill quickly, so seeing them within a day is useful. RoleRank cannot promise that you will see a role the moment it appears, because it checks once a day and whenever you ask. What it can do is keep your attention on the few roles that rank high for you.

    Each result links to the original posting on the employer's job board or the public listing, so you apply there yourself. RoleRank never submits anything for you.

  3. Gap check

    3. Read the gaps before you spend an evening on a cover note

    The what-it-may-be-missing note is worth reading even for a strong match. If a posting asks for something your résumé does not show, you can decide before you write anything whether to address it, add it to your résumé if it is true, or skip the role.

    Once you have the list, a conversation with your assistant is a good place to think through how to word an honest answer. Keep the facts yours: RoleRank scores against the résumé you gave it and does not know what is not on the page.

  4. Fewer, better

    4. Tighten the filters when the list gets noisy

    RoleRank leaves out roles that break your must-haves, such as remote only, a pay floor or relocation rules, and you can watch specific companies on the official boards it reads from (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters), alongside broader public listings. If the morning list feels long, tighten a filter in RoleRank and ask again.

How to

How do I set this up today?

  1. Step 1

    Sign up at [rolerank.me](https://rolerank.me), upload your résumé as a PDF, Word or text file, and set your must-haves.

  2. Step 2

    Open your matches on the site any time. The free plan ranks roles whenever you ask and shows Today's five, the reasons, the gaps and the original apply links.

  3. Step 3

    To let an assistant read your matches, open the Connector tab in RoleRank and create a key. In an assistant that supports MCP, add a custom connector using https://rolerank.me/mcp and your key.

  4. Step 4

    Ask Instinct whether it can add a connector or use a key like that. Its public pages do not say, so do not assume it can. If it cannot, skip this step and open RoleRank directly.

  5. Step 5

    If you want RoleRank to send you new matches, join the Premium waitlist on the site for one email when it opens.

Treat your key like a password and revoke it if it leaks. RoleRank checks for openings once a day, so it is not instant. A match is a suggestion, not an offer of employment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Will Instinct text me the moment a high-ranked job opens?

That cannot be promised today. RoleRank checks for new openings once a day and whenever you ask, and its text and email alerts belong to the Premium plan, which is not open yet. Instinct's homepage says you can text or call it, but its public pages do not say it sends messages on its own or reads RoleRank. You can text it questions, and you can ask RoleRank for new matches.

Does Instinct work with WhatsApp or other messaging apps?

Instinct's homepage says you can text or call it and does not name other channels. Ask Instinct directly which channels it supports.

Is RoleRank an official Instinct integration?

No. There is no official partnership, listing or built-in integration. RoleRank connects to assistants that support MCP, using its address and a key from its Connector tab, and Instinct's public pages do not say whether it supports that.

Is RoleRank free?

There is a free plan that ranks jobs against your résumé whenever you ask and connects to your assistant. Premium, which adds bulk ranking and new matching jobs sent to you, is not open yet. See the site for current details.
