How Open Doors works
Most opportunity sites publish lists. Open Doors reads those opportunities for you, checks which ones you can apply for, and helps you prepare the application.
We find opportunities at the source
Every day we check university, foundation, government and programme websites, read each announcement and record the details in a consistent format.
We check the details
Deadlines, eligibility and funding are verified against the official page. Duplicates are merged and closed programmes are removed. Unclear listings go to an editor.
We match them to you
Each new listing is compared with your profile. We check the formal requirements and how closely your background fits, then rank what is worth your time.
You prepare and apply
Your workspace brings together the checklist, your drafts and the programme’s criteria. You apply on the official site; we remind you before deadlines.
What a match score means
We keep three questions separate, because they have different answers.
Eligibility asks whether you meet the published requirements, as far as your profile shows. We say “meets the stated requirements”, “appears eligible, pending verification”, “missing information” or “potential eligibility issue”.
Profile fit is the score out of 100. It measures how closely your field, experience, career stage and goals align with what the programme is designed for. A score of 91 does not mean a 91% chance of selection.
Readiness tracks which required materials you already have.
How we help with applications
We help you read the question, find relevant experience in your profile, structure an answer and start a draft. Drafts use only what you have told us. When something is missing, we ask rather than invent it.
We never fabricate qualifications, employment, awards or referees, and nothing is submitted without you.
Our matching and drafting use language models. They are tools in service of your judgement, and you can see and edit everything they produce.
Start with what you already have
A CV, a LinkedIn profile or a few sentences is enough.
