Glossary

Plain-language definitions for the terms behind Kariyan and the German job-search market it covers. Use this page to understand what we mean when we talk about company-direct applications, the hidden job market, or GDPR-compliant search.

Company-direct application

An application sent through a company's own career page or hiring contact, rather than through a third-party job board or aggregator. Company-direct applications typically reach the hiring team faster and stand out from the high-volume submissions that come through public job boards.

Career-page crawling

The automated process of regularly scanning a company's official careers page to detect new job listings as soon as they are posted. Career-page crawling captures roles before they are syndicated to job boards, often providing a first-mover advantage for applicants.

AI job agent

A software service that uses artificial intelligence to find, score, and prepare job applications on behalf of a candidate. A modern AI job agent monitors career pages, matches roles against the candidate's profile, drafts tailored CVs and cover letters, and supports sending while keeping the candidate in control of every step.

Hidden job market

Job openings that are filled without ever being advertised on public job boards. In Germany, a substantial share of qualified roles is filled through company career pages, internal referrals, and direct outreach. Tools that monitor career pages directly help candidates surface these opportunities earlier.

GDPR-compliant job search

A job-search workflow that follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation: data is processed lawfully, kept inside the EU where required, and the user can access, export, or delete their information at any time. For Kariyan, this means EU hosting with the database in Frankfurt, EU-based processing, and a one-click data export.
