Settings

What it is​

The Settings page is the control center for app-wide behavior.

Settings page sections

It lets you configure:

  • LLM provider and models
  • Webhook destinations and secret
  • Display and Ghostwriter defaults
  • Service credentials and basic auth
  • Reactive Resume project selection
  • Backup and scoring rules
  • Data-clearing actions in the Danger Zone

Why it exists​

Most teams want stable defaults for repeated workflows, without editing environment variables every time.

Settings gives you runtime overrides for the key parts of discovery, scoring, tailoring, and post-application automation.

How to use it​

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Expand each section you want to change.
  3. Update values and click Save Changes.
  4. Re-run the workflow that uses those settings (for example pipeline runs, Ghostwriter, or resume tailoring) to verify behavior.

Common problems​

Saved value does not seem to apply​

  • Some settings apply only to new runs/actions after save.
  • Re-run scoring/tailoring/pipeline to validate effect.

RxResume controls are disabled​

  • Configure RxResume credentials in Environment & Accounts first.
  • Then refresh available resumes from the Reactive Resume section.

RxResume projects look empty in the RxResume UI​

  • Root cause: your resume on rxresu.me has an empty Projects section.
  • Fix in RxResume first: add project entries to the base resume you selected in Settings.
  • Then return to JobOps, refresh/select the same base resume in Reactive Resume, and regenerate the PDF.
  • JobOps preserves current visibility state, but it cannot create missing project content if the source resume has no projects.

Webhook calls fail​

  • Verify URL reachability from the server host.
  • Confirm auth expectations on the receiver side (including secret/bearer token).
