What job-board alerts do

Job-board alerts, such as the ones on LinkedIn, Naukri and Indeed, are useful and free. You choose keywords, a location and sometimes a seniority level, and the board emails you new roles that match those filters. They cover a very large number of employers across every industry.

The limits are the ones filters always have. A keyword match does not tell you whether the role really suits your skills, and the same filter gives everyone with it the same list. You still have to open each role and read it to decide.

What Chayan does differently

It starts from your resume. Your skills, experience and preferences become a structured profile, so you do not have to maintain keyword lists.
It reads each role. Chayan looks at what a role actually requires, such as skills and years of experience, beyond the title.
It matches your level. No senior roles for freshers, and no junior roles for experienced engineers. Experience requirements are read from the posting, not guessed.
Every match explains itself. You see why a role fits you and where it does not, before you spend an evening on an application.
It flags uncertainty. When a posting is short on detail, Chayan says so instead of overselling the match.
It goes to the source. Jobs are collected mostly from company career pages, so you see the original posting.

Where alerts are better

They are available today, and Chayan is opening to a waitlist in small groups.
They cover every industry and many more employers. Chayan is focused on tech roles in India.
Many job boards let you apply in the same place. Chayan does not apply for you. It finds and ranks, and you apply on the company's own page.

Using both

They are not exclusive. If you already use alerts, keep them. Chayan is meant to cut the time you spend deciding which roles deserve an application, so you open fewer tabs and spend that time on the roles that fit.
