We're excited to help you land your next role - faster and with less stress. Whether you're just browsing or ready to apply, here's how to get started and make the most of Sprout.


🧭 What to expect during onboarding

When you first open the app, we'll walk you through a quick setup so we can tailor your experience and show you the most relevant roles:

  1. Answer a few quick questions
    Tell us about your career goals, experience level, and the types of roles you're interested in.

  2. Unlock the app

    After setup, you'll be prompted to either:


    🔓 Click Get Started to Start a subscription and access Sprout's features

    – or –

    🤝 Invite 3 friends to unlock the app for free


Once complete, you'll land on the Jobs tab — where your job search begins


🔍 Set your job preferences


To control the roles you see, you can update two key settings on the Jobs page:

  1. 🔍 Job Title + Location (Found at the top-center of the Jobs screen.)

    Tap this section to set:

    • 💼 The kind of role you're looking for (e.g., "UX Designer")

    • 📍 Your preferred city or country (e.g., "Toronto" or "United States")

  2. ⚙️ Filters (Found at the top-right corner of the Jobs screen)

    Tap the Filter icon in the top-right corner to narrow your results by:

  1. 🧠 Experience Level (Entry, Mid, Senior, etc.)

  2. ⏱️ Job Type (Full-time, Part-time, Internship)

  3. 💰 Minimum Salary

  4. 📍 Location Type (Remote, In-Person, Hybrid)

  5. 🕒 Posted Date (Past 24 hours, Past Week, Past Month)

Tip: Start with broad filters to see more roles. You can always narrow them later once you get a sense of what's out there.

Tip: Toggle "Include unknown location type" on when searching for remote roles, this can help surface additional job opportunities.


⚡ Use AI to apply faster

When you find a job you like, you can swipe:

When you swipe right, Sprout will generate:


📄 A tailored cover letter based on your background and the job description

📝 If you haven't uploaded a resume yet, you'll be prompted to do so before completing your application.

Some applications use 1 credit, while others use 3 credits, depending on the role and complexity.


⚡ You'll always see how many credits a job requires before applying — it's shown as a number next to the lightning bolt icon on each listing.
