How to use Tildea on your phone (Android and iPhone)

A lot of jobs turn up on your phone: a post in the LinkedIn app on the bus, or an Indeed alert while you are out. Tildea works on your phone too, and on Android it can sit right in the menu you use to share a job.

You don't need to download anything from an app store. Tildea installs from your phone's browser and opens like any other app, from its own icon.

On Android

Use Chrome for this. It is the browser that puts Tildea in your share menu.

1. 1.Open Chrome and go to tildea.ai. Sign in.
2. 2.Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right.
3. 3.Tap Install app. On some phones it says Add to Home screen instead.
4. 4.Confirm. Tildea now has its own icon on your home screen.

Now send it a job:

1. 1.Open a job in the LinkedIn app, the Indeed app, Chrome, or any other app with a Share button.
2. 2.Tap Share and pick Tildea from the list. You may need to scroll the list or tap More to find it the first time.
3. 3.Tildea opens on your Career Hub with the job already being read. Check the company, role and details it filled in, then tap Save.

If you were signed out, Tildea asks you to sign in first and then carries on with the job you shared.

On iPhone

Use Safari to put Tildea on your home screen.

1. 1.Open Safari and go to tildea.ai. Sign in.
2. 2.Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).
3. 3.Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

The iPhone does not let websites appear in the share menu, so Tildea won't be listed there. Copying the link takes a few seconds:

1. 1.On a job in LinkedIn, Indeed or Safari, tap Share, then Copy link.
2. 2.Open Tildea and go to Hub in the bar at the bottom.
3. 3.Tap Add job, choose Import from URL, paste the link, and tap Extract.
4. 4.Check the details Tildea filled in, then tap Save.

On a computer

Chrome and Edge show an install icon at the right end of the address bar when you are on tildea.ai. The Tildea browser extension, which scores jobs and fills in application forms as you browse, works in Chrome on a computer only. Phone browsers don't run extensions, which is why the phone steps above use the Share button instead.

What you can do once it's installed

The app you install is the full Tildea site, so everything works on your phone. The bar at the bottom has Home, Hub, Tasks, Build and More.

• ●Keep every job in the Career Hub. Each job you add gets its own page with tabs for its resume, cover letter, follow-up emails, interview prep and a practice interview.
• ●Build a resume for a job. Open the job, go to its Resume tab and tap Build Resume. Tildea writes it from your own profile to match that posting. You can also paste a job link straight into Build.
• ●Download it. Save the resume as a PDF or a Word file to your phone, ready to attach to an application.
• ●Fill in your profile. Under More, then Profile, tap Import resume to upload the resume you already have as a PDF, Word or text file. Nothing is added to your profile until you choose it.

If something doesn't work

There is no Install app option. Check that you are in Chrome on Android, or in Safari on iPhone, where the option is called Add to Home Screen. If you opened tildea.ai from a link inside another app, such as an email or LinkedIn, you may be in that app's own built-in browser. Open the page in Chrome or Safari and look again.

Tildea isn't in the share menu. Tildea only appears there after it is installed from Chrome on an Android phone. Other browsers, such as Samsung Internet or Firefox, can add Tildea to your home screen, but Tildea may not show up in your share menu that way. Install it from Chrome, then try sharing again. On iPhone, Tildea is never in the share menu, so copy the link instead.

Tildea can't read the job page. Some job sites, LinkedIn among them at times, don't let Tildea read their pages. If Tildea says the site is protected or it could not read the page, close that box and paste the posting itself instead. Open the job, select and copy its full text, then in Tildea tap Add job, choose Paste the job posting, paste it in and tap Fill in the details. Tildea reads the company, role, location and salary from the text, and nothing is saved until you check them and tap Save.
