Applying to jobs
What you need to apply, screening questions, pending applications and errors.
Before you apply
You need an account created with your mobile number, and a resume on your account that GoodSpace has read. Everything else is filled in for you at apply time.
Is applying free, and is there a daily limit?Applying is free and there is no daily cap on how many jobs you can apply to. The only rule that pauses applying is having too many interviews still pending.

It says Upload your resume to applyYour first application needs a resume GoodSpace can read. Upload a PDF, DOC or DOCX under 5 MB, or choose Onboard manually if you have no file to hand.
Applying
Open a job, press Quick Apply at the bottom, pick the resume to send, answer any screening questions, and the result appears on screen straight away.

Screening questions
Jobs with screening questions open a short chat that asks them one at a time. Answer each one, review your answers, then select Submit application.
Why am I asked about relocating or my experience?These are confirmation prompts, not rejections. Answering yes continues your application. Answering no stops it, because the role needs what was asked.
