Help & FAQs

Type what you're looking for in your own words — for example “night shift warehouse work near Bristol” — or use the filters for sector, location, pay, work arrangement and sponsorship.

PDF, Word (DOCX) and plain text (TXT) files, up to 5 MB each. Scanned images of a CV can't be read reliably, so use a file with selectable text if you can.

Mady reads your CV and creates a draft of your skills, experience and details. You review the draft and choose what to keep — nothing on your profile changes until you accept it.

Only you, until you apply for a job. When you apply, the employer for that job receives the CV you chose. Employers can't browse or search CVs. See our privacy notice.

A match score compares your profile and search with each job, using skills, how relevant your experience is to the role, location, salary, experience level and work arrangement.

Every score comes with reasons, each labelled with its source: the employer, the public sponsor register, your profile, or Mady's interpretation. More about how Mady's AI works.

No. Scores are recommendations, not guarantees or judgements. They can only use what's in your profile and the posting — if you know you're a good fit, apply. Keeping your profile up to date makes scores more useful.

No. There are no paid placements or sponsored results on Mady.

The employer has said in the job posting that they can sponsor a visa for this role. Always confirm with the employer before relying on it.

The employer appears on the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. It means they can sponsor workers — not that a particular role will be sponsored. How sponsorship information works.

No. Mady does not guarantee sponsorship or immigration outcomes and doesn't give immigration advice. For official information, see work visas on GOV.UK (opens in a new tab).

Choose “Apply” on the job page. Most jobs on Mady come from job boards and employers' careers pages, so “Apply” opens the employer's or job board's own website and you apply there. Only jobs posted on Mady by employers can be applied for on Mady: pick a CV, add a short note and answer any questions from the employer. The job page shows which kind it is.

Every application you make on Mady appears under “Applications” in your dashboard, with its current status. Applications made on an employer's or job board's website are tracked there, not on Mady.

Mady ranks applicants by how well their profile and CV match your posting, and shows the reasons for each score. Rankings are recommendations — you decide who to shortlist, interview and hire.
