What people ask.
A workspace for the job seeker: CV, cover letters, pipeline, follow-ups and insights in one place. Built to give you calm, not more distractions.
Marcus Jenshaug runs Søknadsbasen as a private individual in Norway. No investors, and we do not sell data.
Searching for jobs, writing cover letters and sending applications is free, and you get a free CV builder with score and findings (watermarked PDF, no template picker). Pro costs NOK 79 per month (7-day free trial) or NOK 299 one-off for 6 months, and adds watermark-free PDFs, a template picker with 10 templates, 8 colour palettes and 5 typography sets, AI and job matching, with 150 AI credits per month.
Yes. You own everything you enter. CVs can be exported to PDF whenever you like, and remain yours even after the subscription ends.
It depends on the template. Our own ATS check rates 6 out of 10 templates as ATS-friendly, while 2 have moderate and 2 have weak ATS support. Two-column templates have weak support because recruitment systems often read two columns in the wrong order, and the builder warns you when you use a template that is not ATS-friendly. The templates have not been tested in Webcruiter, ReachMee or other recruitment systems. The PDF has a real text layer, not images, so the text can be read by machines.
Yes. Save your preferences (location, role, sector), and the job list is re-weighted by what actually suits you, with a daily email digest of new matches. You can also choose in-app or push notifications per saved search.
In the EU. Our database, authentication and files run on our own Hetzner server in Helsinki (Finland, EU). Anthropic stores the text sent to the AI features in the USA, as a rule for 30 days, and email, payments, error tracking and analytics go through providers that may also process data in the USA. It is all in the privacy policy. We never sell data and never use it for third-party marketing.
Yes. You can cancel the monthly subscription at any time, in the app under Subscription or by email to marcus@jenshaug.no, without giving a reason. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again. The trial can be cancelled the same way without being charged.
Because more applications are rarely the answer. Søknadsbasen helps you see where you are, what is missing and what the next hour deserves, instead of pushing you to apply more.
