How to use Triple Salary

One lesson per tool: what it is, the moment it earns its place, and what it needs from you before it can tell you anything. Everything here reads from your Career identity, so that is where the order below starts.

If you are new, do these four in order

  1. Career identity — Before anything else, and again whenever your job, pay or location changes.
  2. Career health — When you want to know whether to act at all, before deciding what to do.
  3. Roles for you — Whenever you are actively looking.
  4. Pulse — First thing each month, and any time you want the short answer instead of the full picture.

The first one is not optional. Every figure in the product is derived from it, and an empty profile produces an empty answer rather than a guessed one.

Start

Your monthly standing in one place: the gap between your pay and the market, how that gap moved since last month, the roles this month that beat what you earn now, where your applications stand, and the single best move to make next.

When to open it: First thing each month, and any time you want the short answer instead of the full picture.

  1. Open Pulse. It assembles itself from work the engine has already done — there is nothing to fill in here.
  2. Read the salary gap first. It is the number every other tool is measured against.
  3. Check the change since last month. A gap that is widening means the market moved, not that you did.
  4. Follow the single recommended move. It is chosen from your own data, not a generic tip.

Your profile

The structured record of your career — how to reach you, employment history, education, certifications, languages, location and salary history. Every other tool reads from this, so a gap here is a gap everywhere.

When to open it: Before anything else, and again whenever your job, pay or location changes.

  1. Start with your name, email and phone. These head every CV you download — without them a recruiter who wants you has no way to say so.
  2. Add your LinkedIn if you have one. It is the first thing most UK recruiters open after the CV itself.
  3. Work through the rest in order. The completeness meter shows which sections are still thin.
  4. For each role, give the achievements as separate lines. The engine reads them individually, and a wall of text reads as one weak claim.
  5. Put numbers on achievements where you have them. Unquantified entries are flagged back to you rather than quietly discarded.
  6. Save. Parsing is deterministic — what you enter is what the engine works from, and it never adds what you did not say.

A 0–100 score with a career stage and a trajectory, plus your strengths and the areas needing attention — each one naming the fact behind it.

When to open it: When you want to know whether to act at all, before deciding what to do.

  1. Open the page. The score is computed from your Career identity; there is no questionnaire.
  2. Read the reasons, not the number. Each strength and each concern cites the entry in your history that produced it.
  3. Where a concern names something you can change, the fix is usually a Promotion readiness or Roles for you task.

  • A saved Career identity with employment history

What recruiters can see about you. You are invisible by default and stay that way until you opt in — that rule is enforced in the engine, not in a setting we promise to honour.

When to open it: When you want inbound approaches, and again whenever you want them to stop.

  1. Opt in explicitly. Nothing is shared before you do.
  2. Set your search location, remote preference and salary expectation. These are what recruiters filter on.
  3. Review what the profile shows before you publish it.
  4. Opt out at any time. It takes effect immediately and does not require a support request.

Plan your move

A short weekly digest woven from the engines you already use — health, recommendations, promotion readiness, market and salary — prioritised into what to do this week.

When to open it: Weekly, and especially in the stretches when you are not job-hunting.

  1. Open the check-in. It composes existing results rather than computing a new score, so it never disagrees with the tool it came from.
  2. Take the top item. It is ordered by impact on your gap, not by recency.
  3. Come back next week. The value is the sequence, not any single digest.

Growing where you are, set against moving — side by side, with the same figures used for both so the comparison is honest.

When to open it: When you are genuinely unsure whether to push for a promotion or start looking.

  1. Open the page. It reads your promotion readiness and your current shortlist together.
  2. Compare the two columns on the same horizon. A raise that arrives in a year is not the same as an offer that arrives next month.
  3. Use it to choose which of the two branches below to spend your time on.

  • A target role for the promotion side

Promotion readiness

Open Promotion readiness →

How ready you are for a named target role, what is missing, and what to do about it — read from your career and skills history.

When to open it: Before a review cycle, or when deciding whether to stay and push.

  1. Name the target role you are aiming at.
  2. Read the gaps. Each is traced to evidence in your history rather than asserted.
  3. Work the listed actions, then re-check after your next substantial piece of work.

Needs first

  • A saved Career identity
  • A target role

Every move open to you, scored: stay and push for promotion, change employer, change function, go consulting, step between specialist and management. It answers “what should I do next” rather than “should I apply to this”.

When to open it: At a genuine fork — a reorg, an approach, a year that did not move your pay.

  1. Open Compare your next moves — there is nothing to configure before it runs.
  2. Let the comparison run. It scores from a snapshot of what the engine already knows about you.
  3. Read the moves against each other, not in isolation. The ranking is the output; a single move's score means little alone.

Find roles

Your shortlist, tiered into great fit and worth a look, each carrying an apply-or-not verdict with its reasoning rather than a bare score.

When to open it: Whenever you are actively looking.

  1. Open the shortlist. Roles are scored and tiered for you; there is no search box to drive.
  2. Read the verdict and the checks under each role. A blocker outranks a high score, and the page tells you which blocker.
  3. Use Tailor CV on a role you intend to apply for — it carries the posting through so you are not re-pasting it.
  4. Dismiss what does not fit. Dismissals are remembered and the role will not return.

  • A saved Career identity
  • A completed discovery run for your profile

A platform-wide read of the job corpus: role and skill demand, hiring velocity, salary movement, remote share, and which skills are emerging or declining.

When to open it: When you want the market's direction rather than your position in it — choosing what to learn, or timing a move.

  1. Pick the role or skill you are tracking.
  2. Read trends over the window shown. Everything here is computed from observed postings, never estimated.
  3. Where a figure rests on few observations, the page says so. Treat a thin sample as a hint, not a finding.

Win the offer

Your CV rewritten against one posting, with your evidence intact. The output is validated against your real history — it re-orders and re-frames what you did, it does not invent it.

When to open it: Once per application, after you have decided the role is worth it.

  1. Arrive from a role on your shortlist, or paste any job URL. A posting we have not seen before is read from the page and added to your shortlist, so it is there next time.
  2. If the link needs a login, or the page loads its text after the fact, we will say so rather than guess — use “No link? Paste the posting instead”.
  3. Run Tailor your CV. A retry starts a fresh attempt rather than appending to a bad one, so a poor first answer is discarded, not patched.
  4. Use Match to this role to see how well the tailored version scores against the posting.
  5. Review before you send. This is the step that catches anything the validator flagged.
  6. Name the file and download it as PDF or Word. The name starts from your Career identity, so it arrives as your own name rather than a folder of files all called “resume”.
  7. Open the file before you send it. Both formats carry the same content, and your contact block should be the first thing on the page — if it is missing, the gap is in your Career identity, not the download.

  • A saved Career identity, including your email and phone
  • The job URL, or the posting text

A prep pack built for one specific job: the questions you are likely to be asked and answers grounded in your own history. A live mock mode runs the conversation with you.

When to open it: After an interview is booked, not the night before.

  1. Choose the job you are preparing for. The pack is built from that posting plus your profile.
  2. Work through the questions and the suggested answers, editing them into your own words.
  3. Run the mock interview to practise out loud rather than only reading.
  4. Record how it went afterwards — outcomes feed back into what the engine recommends next.

The number, the case for it and the words to say. The analysis is computed from comparable market samples; the script is grounded in your own record. Multi-round counter-offers are tracked.

When to open it: The moment an offer arrives, before you respond to it.

  1. Enter the offer. The analysis of where it sits against comparables is deterministic — no model is involved in the number.
  2. Read the comparables behind it, including how many there are. A figure from few samples is a weaker hand and the page says so.
  3. Take the script as a draft and put it in your voice.
  4. Log each round as the conversation develops, then record the final outcome.

  • The offer figures

Everything in flight and what each one is waiting on. Responses are classified and matched back to the job you applied to.

When to open it: Weekly, to see what has gone quiet and what needs chasing.

  1. Review the pipeline by state, so you can see what is stalled rather than just what is open.
  2. Record outcomes as they land. This is the one place your real results enter the system.
  3. Chase what has gone quiet. The page shows elapsed time so you are not guessing.

Needs first

  • At least one logged application

One rule worth knowing

Nothing in the product invents a figure. A number is either measured from postings we hold, researched from a cited source, or recalled — and the page tells you which. Where the evidence is thin, you will see the sample size rather than a confident-looking average. An answer that says “we don’t know” is doing its job.

The same applies to your own record. Tailoring re-orders and re-frames your evidence; it never adds achievements you did not enter.
