Frequently asked questions

Yes, free for job seekers. Herizon ry is a non-profit. Employers, grants and partners fund the free programs. You never pay.

We don't promise a timeline. It depends on your field, your background and the market. We publish how many members are in work, and how we count them, on our open data page.

Members live across the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, most of them in Finland. Talent Matcher and our partnerships are in Finland. Everything else works wherever you live.

Courses run from SQL and data analysis to Finnish for the job hunt.

You can join if you live in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, or a partner organisation invited you. The courses, skill checks and application help work wherever you live.

Yes, joining is free. You get the courses, skill checks, Floria, the application builder, mentors and community chat at no cost.

You fill in one form, verify your email and log in to the portal. There you map your skills, start courses, get help with applications from Floria and join the community chat.

LinkedIn lists openings. We add skill checks, free courses, mentors and a cover letter from any job ad.

With the Herizon blueprint, four steps in order. Map your skills: a profile in the words employers use, skill checks and your CV in japply. Close the gaps: learn what the market asks for with free courses, starting with Getting hired in the Nordics. Build your network: mentors who got their first job, chat rooms, the LinkedIn boot camp and ambassador events. Get hired: the application builder, interview prep with Floria and Talent Matcher, where employers search Herizon community members. We are not a recruitment agency, and it is free for job seekers.

PDF only, up to 5 MB. There is no OCR, so the PDF needs a text layer. DOCX and plain text are not supported yet.

We don't publish an accuracy figure until a benchmark backs one. The easiest way to judge it is to run your own CVs through the 50 free parses per month.

The API is hosted on Hetzner in Helsinki, Finland. The /v1/parse endpoint does not store the PDF or the parsed result. Resume text is processed by OpenAI in the US as a subprocessor.

Not as a ready product. If you need an on-premise setup, contact us.

You get 50 free parses per month. After that you buy credits, 100 to 100,000 per order, and the whole order is priced at its tier: EUR 0.15 per parse for 100 to 1,999, EUR 0.12 for 2,000 to 9,999, and EUR 0.10 for 10,000 or more. Prices exclude VAT. Credits never expire, failed parses are not charged, and you pay by card in the dashboard.
