Job recommendations
What are Job Recommendations?
Job Recommendations in Career Hub surface internal roles that are a good fit for you — without you having to search for them. Eightfold analyzes your profile (skills, experience, career interests, and activity) and matches you against open positions in your organization, then shows you the most relevant ones on your home page.
It's like having a recruiter who knows your background and proactively flags roles you should consider — except it happens automatically and updates as your profile evolves.
Why it matters
-
Relevant roles find you. Instead of scrolling through every internal job opening, you see a curated list of roles that actually match your background and goals.
-
Recommendations get smarter over time. The more you interact with Career Hub — updating your profile, exploring roles, completing skill assessments — the more precise your recommendations become.
- You stay informed without having to check constantly. Job alert emails and recommendation notifications bring new matches to you on a schedule that works for you.

How it works
On your home page
When you open Career Hub, the home page includes a Recommended jobs feed — a list of internal roles Eightfold has matched to your profile. These are sorted by relevance, not by posting date.
You may also see a Based on your activity feed, which surfaces roles related to positions you've viewed or applied for recently.
Telling Eightfold what you think
You can give feedback on each recommendation:
-
Like a recommendation to indicate it's a good fit. Eightfold learns from this and surfaces more similar roles.
- Dismiss a recommendation if it's not right for you. Dismissed roles are removed from your feed.
This feedback improves your recommendations over time.
Setting up job alerts
If there's a type of role you're actively looking for, you can create a saved search and subscribe to receive job alert emails:
- Go to Marketplaces > Jobs in Career Hub.
- Search and filter for the types of roles you're interested in.
- Select Create job alert.
- Choose how often you want to receive email updates.
You can manage, edit, or delete your alerts anytime in Career Hub Settings.
Job recommendation emails
Depending on your organization's configuration, you may also receive periodic emails with AI-selected job recommendations — delivered directly to your inbox without having to set up a saved search. You can manage your email preferences in Career Hub Settings.
What makes a job a strong match?
Eightfold considers several factors when deciding which roles to recommend:
| Factor | How it's used |
| Skills | Roles that require skills you have are ranked higher |
| Work experience | Roles at a level and type consistent with your background |
| Seniority | Recommendations respect your current job level and eligible level range |
| Career interests | Roles aligned with career paths you've explored or goals you've set |
| Activity history | Roles similar to ones you've viewed, saved, or applied to |
The more complete your Career Hub profile, the more precisely Eightfold can match you.
FAQs
Why do I see certain roles on my home page if I didn't search for them? Eightfold automatically matches your profile against open positions and surfaces the best fits on your home page. These are job recommendations based on your skills and experience — the same logic that would match you to a role if a recruiter were searching the talent pool.
How do I stop seeing a role that's not relevant to me? Dismiss it. Select the dismiss option on the recommendation card. The role will be removed from your feed, and Eightfold will learn from your feedback to avoid surfacing similar roles.
I updated my profile. Will my recommendations change? Yes. Recommendations are updated dynamically as your profile changes. After updating your skills or experience, your home page recommendations should reflect the update within a short time.
Can I see how well I match a specific job? Yes. Select any job from the recommendation feed to open its detail page. The Job Insights panel shows how your skills and experience compare to what the role requires, giving you a clear picture of your fit before you apply.
How do I manage my job alert emails? Go to Settings in Career Hub and navigate to your notification preferences. You can adjust the frequency, pause, or delete individual job alerts there.
I'm not seeing any job recommendations. Why? This usually means your profile needs more data for the recommendation engine to work with. Try completing your skills section, adding your work experience, or running a skill assessment. A fuller profile produces more relevant recommendations. If the issue persists, contact your HR team to confirm that internal jobs are available and that job recommendations are enabled for your account.
