CareerGauge for Chrome
Save jobs to CareerGauge while you browse.

User initiated. CareerGauge inspects the active page when you open the extension.

Three useful actions
Capture now. Choose when to analyze.
Save Job
Preserve the opportunity in CareerGauge without starting analysis.
Save & Analyze
Save the reviewed capture, then evaluate it against your professional baseline.
Open CareerGauge
Continue in the full opportunity workspace and keep every next step connected.
Progressive capture
Review what was captured before it is saved.
CareerGauge attempts to capture structured information from the job page. If the page does not expose enough usable information, you can review selected text or paste and edit the job details manually.
CareerGauge works with many structured employer career pages. It does not claim to work automatically on every site, and Chrome-owned or otherwise restricted pages cannot be inspected.
Page access stays deliberate.
CareerGauge does not continuously monitor your browsing. It uses temporary access to inspect the active page after you invoke the extension. The full reviewed job content is sent to CareerGauge only after an explicit save or analyze action.
Scripting
Runs the bounded page collector after that invocation.
Storage
Keeps the extension session and a limited local capture cache.
Questions and answers
Chrome extension FAQ
Does CareerGauge monitor my browsing?
No. CareerGauge inspects the active page when you open the extension. It does not request browsing-history access or run a persistent content script across the sites you visit.
What information does the extension read?
On an invoked page, the extension reads bounded job-page information such as title, company, location, structured job details, and visible job-description content needed to prepare a capture.
When does job information leave my browser?
Detection and capture preparation happen locally. A source identity and fingerprint may be checked against CareerGauge after sign-in, but the captured job content is sent only when you explicitly choose Save Job, Save & Analyze, or Save Latest Version.
What if CareerGauge cannot detect the job?
You can review selected text or enter and paste the job details manually. Chrome-owned and other restricted pages cannot be inspected; open the extension on a regular web job posting instead.
Can I save without running analysis?
Yes. Save Job creates or updates the opportunity without starting AI analysis. You can analyze the saved version later.
Does the extension cost extra?
The extension is a CareerGauge capture surface. Saving a job does not use Capacity Units; analysis uses the same CareerGauge allowance shown before analysis begins.
Why do I need to sign in?
Signing in connects the extension to your CareerGauge account so saved opportunities, versions, and analysis results remain in your workspace.
What does “Needs your review” mean?
Some analyses need additional information before they can continue. The extension opens the saved opportunity so you can review the request in CareerGauge.
