What is Jargon HR?
Jargon HR is a free, rule-based job-description checker. It splits a JD into atomic requirements, separates hard gates from core skills and nice-to-haves, decodes HR jargon, scores the company on six heuristics, and produces an evidence-backed interview prep list. It runs entirely in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account, no paywall, no upload, and no API key. The current version is a static, rule-based MVP.
Does it upload my job description?
No. The JD and the five candidate fields stay in browser memory and disappear when you refresh. There are no cookies, analytics, or server-side storage.
Which markets are supported?
The English checker has US, UK, Germany, France, and Netherlands packs, plus an EU fallback for unclassified euro roles. The Chinese checker is built for mainland China tech JDs.
How is the score calculated?
The prep score is W × Q × Gap. W is the requirement weight, Q is a prior on whether it gets asked, and Gap combines missing evidence with the ability to explain it. Company scores are six heuristic dimensions, not a prediction.
Is the verdict a prediction that I will get the job?
No. It is a structured reading of the JD and your stated evidence. Treat it as a set of questions to verify, not a hiring decision.
What are market facts?
Market facts are jurisdiction-level defaults such as statutory holiday, pension minimums, notice periods, IR35, Blue Card, or H-1B. They are separate from jargon, carry source links, and are information only, not legal advice.
Does it apply to jobs automatically?
No. Jargon HR does not apply, message recruiters, scrape job boards, or automate outreach. It only reads the JD you paste.
Why do Germany, France, and the Netherlands have separate packs?
Because the institutions differ: Probezeit and Kündigungsfrist in Germany, CDI/CDD and RTT in France, CAO and proeftijd in the Netherlands. Translating one country's terms into another produces false confidence.
How accurate is the jargon decoding?
It is a probabilistic read based on a curated lexicon, not a fact about the company. Use the suggested interview questions to verify. The same applies to company scores.
