Getting started

1. When it opens, add the Boat to your server

When there’s a spot for you, you’ll get an invite link by email.

• Someone who manages your Discord server opens the link and picks your server.
• They pick the channel the Boat posts in: the morning digest, the Friday recap and reminders all go there.
• They start the server plan in Discord. See Pricing and credits.

2. Each member sets up a profile

Everyone runs /cast start and answers five questions:

1. What roles are you going after? (Each becomes a job search, so list every title you’d take.)
2. What’s your niche? (Industries, domains or kinds of company.)
3. Sum up your experience.
4. Any deal-breakers? (Location, remote or hybrid, a salary floor.)
5. What do you want the most help with?

The Boat turns your answers into a written profile that only you see. To change it later, say what to change: /cast update change:add Retail Search to my roles.

3. Send your master resume

/resume file: takes a .pdf, .docx, .txt or .md file. It’s the starting point for every tailored resume, and only you see it.

4. Your first morning

At 4:00 (server time) the Boat searches for everyone’s roles and posts the best matches, each with a fit score. Your top five come with a reason. Missed it? /leads shows your newest leads any time, each with a short id like a1b2c3d4.

5. Work a lead

1. /deep-dive company: for a short brief on the company.
2. /tailor lead:<id> for your resume rewritten for that job. Check anything flagged ⚠️ or 🚩 first.
3. Apply yourself, then log it: /log type:Application sent lead:<id>.

6. Keep it going

• /board shows the week so far: points, streaks and the shared goal. See The game.
• The recap posts every Friday at 5pm.
• Want a nudge? /remind set days:weekdays time:6pm. See Daily reminders.

Log what really happened. The points and the recap only help if they’re honest.
