The AI read 10,000 job postings against my resume and I got two offers

Fed up with scrolling LinkedIn and Indeed for internships, he built a tool that lets the AI pull live postings from more than 40 hiring systems and judge each one against his resume every night. Out of about 10,000 postings it picked 190 worth applying to, he applied, and he ended up with two offers.

How it works

  1. Build a command line tool that pulls postings from hiring systems like Greenhouse and Workday every hour
  2. Store his resume and preferences as his profile
  3. Every night the AI reads the new postings against his profile and writes a verdict with its reasoning
  4. He checks the shortlist in the morning and applies himself

Why it’s worth knowing

The screener works for the applicant for once: it reads ten thousand postings a night and only bothers him with the ones that fit.
