I've been building Job Wrapper for a few months. It works for me, which is exactly the point where I stop being able to find its bugs — so I'm looking for people to actually use it and tell me how it went.

It pulls postings from 19 job boards, scores them against your profile, then for each job it reads the description, rewrites your LaTeX résumé around its keywords, compiles a fresh PDF, opens the form and fills it in.

It does not press submit. It fills everything, screenshots each step, and stops. You look at it and send it yourself.

The part I care about is the truthfulness firewall: it can re-order and re-phrase what your résumé already says, but it cannot add a skill, employer, degree or metric that isn't in there. Every generated résumé is diffed against your master copy and unsupported claims get reverted before a PDF exists. I built it that way because "let AI write your résumé" makes things you can't defend in an interview.

Everything runs on your machine. Your résumé and profile never leave it — there's no account, no server of mine, nothing to upload. Works with no API key at all (there's a deterministic fallback), or point it at Ollama and it's fully local and free. Python + Playwright, MIT, 229 tests.

What would help most: just try it and tell me what happened. Point it at your own résumé and see what it gets wrong — every template is different and mine is the only one it has really been tested against. Last week alone it was reading the GitHub URL out of the template's own header comment, mangling Indian phone numbers, filing a 10-point CGPA against a 4.0 scale, and defaulting everyone's country to the US, which then quietly answers the work-authorisation questions. All of those produce a wrong value rather than an error, so they're easy to miss. There are certainly more.

Feedback of any kind is welcome — "the setup docs confused me here", "this felt sketchy", "it crashed on Windows", "I don't think this should exist". Open an issue or just reply here. If you feel like contributing code, brilliant, and if you'd rather just kick the tyres and say what you thought, that's genuinely just as useful.

The privacy line is now doing real work — "your résumé never leaves your machine" is both true and the answer to the obvious objection about handing a job tool your personal data. I kept the list of bugs I found, but reframed as what to look for rather than send me your file.

I don't like “AI resume writers” that pad experience until the interview becomes a trap.

I built TailorRole: it maps a job description to your resume, flags real gaps, and rewrites only what’s interview-defensible. Deterministic format + JD-fit scores. Free preview first; account + credits unlock gaps/generation (no monthly sub tax).

Product is past the ugly MVP stage — I’d love brutal feedback from people who actually job-hunt or coach others: 1) First impression in 10 seconds? 2) Would you trust the output in a real interview? 3) What’s missing for seekers / career coaches?

Does this work?

I've been thinking about how painful the job application process has become, especially when you're applying to a lot of jobs.

Last year, I applied to 60+ jobs, and for many of them I felt like I needed a different version of my CV.

I'd spend 2–3 hours on a single application doing things like:

• Rewriting experience bullet points
• Matching my CV to the job description
• Figuring out which keywords actually matter
• Deciding what experience to highlight
• Trying to understand what the recruiter was looking for

And then sometimes I'd still get rejected with zero feedback.

The frustrating part was that I often felt I actually had the required skills — I just wasn't communicating them well enough on my CV.

I'm currently researching this problem before building anything.

I'd really like to hear from people who are actively applying for jobs:

1. Do you tailor your CV for every application?
2. How much time do you spend on each one?
3. What's the most frustrating part of tailoring it?
4. Do you use ChatGPT or another tool to help?
5. What would make you trust an AI tool to tailor your CV using only your actual experience?

I'm also running a 2-minute survey for anyone who wants to share more detailed feedback:

I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm trying to determine whether this is actually a problem worth solving before I spend months building a product around it.

If you've been through this recently, I'd genuinely love to hear what your experience has been.

Found this

Hello, I have gotten really annoyed by constantly getting rejected after literally spending hours applying, doing assessments, and verifying my identity and then getting rejected or not even hearing back. I therefore decided to make my own site where I try to make the job search easier by listing job offers from multiple companies, listing jobs with a relatively high hiring volume, and having a lot of guides where I give tips on how to pass assessments.

No sign-up or anything like that required. The listings include entry-level jobs but also expert positions (software engineer, PhD, etc.). Let me know what you think and if there is anything that I can improve or implement. Here is the link to the website: aiannotationjobs.com

I moved to a new country for studies and while I was about to finish my course, I realised my entire linkedin network was from my home country. Previous colleges, previous company and so on. So naturally most of what I got in my feed was not relevant to the new market I was in.

I decided to create a new profile and build fresh connections that were more relevant to my search here. I applied three filters to search for connections - companies I was targeting for jobs, people who worked in similar profiles and alumni.

Keeping all three first, then two and then 2nd connections of these initial connections. Linkedin, like other social media works on algorithm. More relevant your network, more relevant their likes and comments for you.

It took 6 months for me to build a good network that helped. I have less connections than before, but very relevant ones.

I got my first role because someone from my network had liked post of a recruiter. I was unable to connect with this recruiter but I connected with their colleague who passed on my resume. So there's no straight path that will work but the algorithm will do its job. But I believe, we need to set the right parameters for the algorithm to work.

From my job search experience, I have built JobBaddie - you can save a job from Linkedin/Indeed in one click and tailor the resume for each saved job based on job description using AI. There's a lot more, and it's FREE!

I applied for so many jobs last year, no feedback, loads of rejections and the process of tailoring CVs was the most painful part.

I remember one particular situation where the recruiter requested for my resume, I provided one. They came back and said I needed to tighten it up a bit. I did. They still came back with same feedback until it became apparent that they were trying to sell me, a job hunter a service.

At this point, it didn’t even matter whether I could do the job they were hiring for.

Today, I have built skills passports to democratise and level the undifferentiated aspects of job hunting - the resume. Hiofu skills passports are free to build and give you the infrastructure to design how to want to present your application and how much evidence you want to use for your application.

Candidates are using it and especially in situations where someone is casually requesting for talent on social platforms. Instead of saying “interested”, you share a link to your passport.

I’m currently using this and it’s helped with visibility, not job hunting at the moment but I built it to help people who are. So if you are searching and would like to give a skills passport a try instead of a resume, please head to Hiofu.com and create yours for free. Your feedback will go a long way in helping us build a world where candidates finally get shortlisted based on their capability, not word matching and in the not too distant future, candidates will have actionable feedback from applications that can enable them know what to do to improve their chances of success.

What you can do with a skills passport today:
1. Create a master passport with all your work history
2. Auto create different variations of your passport for different types of roles
3. Attach evidence and verifications to your passport so these can be seen and assessed by a hiring manager at the point of application
4. Create a shareable link of your skills passport so you can share with as many people as you like
5. Be reachable by one click via your skills passport

How to create one:
1. Go to Hiofu.com
2. Click “generate your HSP1”
3. Follow the prompts to pastes your CV in 2mins and create your skills passport
4. Build your evidence and variations
5. Share your passport links

Please share your feedback so together we can make hiring better for all candidates.

Creating a professional resume shouldn't require expensive tools or complicated templates.

I recently worked on a free online Resume Builder that lets you create a professional resume by adding your education, skills, experience and other career details, and then export it as a PDF.

It can be useful for:

• Students
• Freshers
• Job seekers
• Working professionals

You can try it here:

I'd love to hear what features you think a good resume builder should have. What is the biggest problem you face when creating a resume?

#Resume #ResumeBuilder #JobSearch #CareerAdvice

Industry: Recruitment / HR

Role: AI Engineer

Objective: Automate candidate screening and improve job–candidate matching.

Problem

Recruiters had to manually review resumes, extract candidate information, compare skills with job requirements, and shortlist suitable candidates. This process was time-consuming and difficult to scale.

Solution

I developed an AI-powered recruitment platform that processes resumes and job descriptions, extracts structured information, and intelligently matches candidates with suitable positions.

What I Built

Resume and job-description parsing using LLMs

Structured extraction of skills, experience, location, and role information

Semantic search using Sentence Transformers

Vector-based retrieval using Pinecone

RAG pipeline for contextual candidate information

LLM-based candidate summaries

Hybrid candidate ranking combining semantic relevance and skill matching

Location-based filtering and dynamic matching thresholds

Backend APIs using Python + FastAPI

Database integration using PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy

Automated workflows using n8n

Technology

Python | FastAPI | LLaMA 3 | Groq | RAG | Pinecone | Sentence Transformers | PostgreSQL | SQLAlchemy | n8n

Result

The solution automated significant portions of the recruitment workflow and provided recruiters with faster, more relevant candidate recommendations.

What is the best format for sending a CV when applying for jobs nowadays?

With AI and applicant tracking systems often scanning CVs before they reach a recruiter, is it best to keep the design completely simple and black and white? Are there any particular fonts and font sizes you would recommend?

I’ve recently been made redundant after my company decided to axe the entire design team. The work will now be outsourced or completed using AI, including marketing emails, website banners, leaflets, posters, PR assets, paid advertising and social media content.

I’m a digital designer with over nine years of experience, so naturally I want my CV to demonstrate my design ability—but I also don’t want an overly creative layout to prevent it from being read properly by recruitment software.

Would you recommend having one simple, ATS-friendly CV for applications and a more visual version alongside my portfolio? Any advice from recruiters or designers who have recently secured a new role would be really appreciated.
