# Instant Job Matching (Pro)

### Summary  
Instant Job Matching automatically surfaces relevant job opportunities based on your trade and location, so you don’t have to manually search for work.

### What This Feature Does  
Instant Job Matching is a **BuilderPal Pro** feature that helps subcontractors get faster access to new job opportunities.

Instead of searching manually every time, BuilderPal automatically checks for open jobs that match your:

- Selected trade  
- Operating location  
- Service area  

When a match is found, it appears directly inside your **Job Connector** under the **Job Matches** view.

### How It Works  
Instant Job Matching uses information already set in your account:

- Your trade  
- Your primary location  
- Your service radius  

When a general contractor posts a job that fits those details, BuilderPal automatically notifies you and places it into your **Job Matches** tab.

This lets you see relevant jobs without having to manually browse everything.

### Where You’ll See Matches  

Inside **Job Connector**, jobs are organized into four views:

- **Job Matches** – Jobs automatically matched to you  
- **Open Bids** – Jobs you’ve been approved to bid on  
- **Requests** – Jobs you requested access to, but haven’t been approved for yet  
- **Passed** – Jobs you chose not to pursue  

Jobs are always sorted by **newest first**.

### Pro Feature Note  
Instant Job Matching is only available on **BuilderPal Pro**.

Subcontractors on the Free plan can still search for jobs manually, but won’t receive automatic matches.

### Example Use Case  
You’re a plumber based in Langley, BC, Canada.

A GC posts a plumbing job in your area.  
BuilderPal automatically detects the match and places it into your **Job Matches** tab — no manual searching required.

From there, you can open the job, review details, and request to bid.
