Frequently asked questions

Teleport is a Chrome extension and web app for job seekers. It spots job postings on any site, scores how well you fit each one, saves jobs to your list, and adds tools to revise your resume, research the company, ask questions and share the job.

Yes, the extension is free. If you choose to connect your own AI provider, that provider may charge you for usage under its own terms.

The extension is built for Google Chrome on desktop. It is coming soon to the Chrome Web Store; until then you can install it from a zip. The web app works in any modern browser, including on phones.

Any site. Smart analysis reads the page content, so it works on company career pages and pasted job descriptions too. It also has dedicated readers for LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Indeed, Workday and Ashby. See supported sites.

Yes. Teleport needs a free account. Sign up with Google or with email and password. Your profile and saved jobs are saved to your account, so the extension and the web app stay in sync.

In your Teleport account, with a copy in each browser you use. If you turn on the AI engine, it is also sent directly to your AI provider. It is never shared with recruiters.

Its content script looks at the pages you open to decide, on your device, whether each one is a job posting. Page content is not sent anywhere unless you take an action such as saving a job or using your AI key. You can turn it off per site.

Only if you turn on both sharing options: talent pools and "Let recruiters request to contact me". Without the third, recruiters see a pseudonymous summary with no name, email, resume text or employers.

Yes. In Privacy & data you can export your data, delete your account and everything saved to it, and delete everything Teleport stored in your browser. See export and delete.

No. The draft privacy policy says Teleport does not sell your personal information or use it for advertising. Recruiters see pseudonymous pool summaries only if you opt in.

A weighted mix of skills (40%), experience (20%), role and seniority (15%), education (10%), keywords (10%) and location (5%), adjusted for things like sponsorship, clearance and salary floor. See fit score explained.

No. Fit scores, resume revisions and basic answers work locally. Adding your own OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic key gives deeper analysis, full resume rewrites and open-ended chat.

No. Every suggestion is checked against what you stated. Anything that adds an employer, title, date, degree, number or skill is blocked and listed with the reason. Missing numbers become an [add metric] placeholder for you to fill in.

Public sources: Wikidata, Wikipedia, Google News, the Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job board APIs, and the company website if you allow it. Ratings come only from Glassdoor, Indeed or Comparably pages you open yourself.

The Teleport team issues an API key for each recruiter organization. There is no self-serve sign-up yet. See for recruiters.

Pools with fewer members than the minimum pool size are hidden, and searches that match too few candidates return nothing. The minimum is 3 today.
