About this check

What the Job Check never does

It never gives a “chance of losing your job”. AI touching a task is not the same as losing a job.

It never calls missing data “safe”. When too little real use was seen, we say so.

It keeps your search private. Matching happens in your browser. You need no account, and we store nothing about you.
