My job hunting agent emails me new postings every day, with fit notes
A job hunter's agent sends him a daily email of new postings, marking where he would be a fit and where he would be a stretch. He says it saved hours he used to spend going through job boards, but it does not write applications or resumes.

Let the AI judge my fit - and redirect my whole job search
After his promised promotion turned out not to be budgeted, a laboratory-science professional built a master resume with 20+ bullets per job and bucketed skills, then ran every target posting through AI with a stricter brief than tailoring: trim to one page, polish without inventing anything, tell me whether I am actually qualified, and tell me what kinds of positions I would suit better. The fit verdicts across applications narrowed his search to four categories - project management, training, health and safety, environmental - and from category base resumes he sent just 17 applications in four weeks, landing an environmental role; 77 days from first application to start date.
