Hey everyone! I recently launched ApplyBoostAI, a tool that helps job seekers tailor their resumes to specific job descriptions without spending hours rewriting and reformatting everything manually.

With ApplyBoostAI, you can:

• Upload your current resume
• Paste in a job description
• Find missing keywords and ATS issues
• Improve weak bullet points
• Generate a tailored resume for each role
• Save different resume versions and track applications

What makes it different is that it brings the entire process into one workspace. Instead of repeatedly using ChatGPT, fixing formatting, downloading new files, and trying to organize multiple resume versions, ApplyBoostAI helps handle everything in one place.

You can check it out at applyboostai.com.

Use code DISCOUNT30 for 30% off the Pro plan.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

What features would make this more useful for job seekers?

What currently takes you the most time when applying for jobs?

Is anything on the website, onboarding, or pricing unclear?

I’m actively improving the product, so all feedback is welcome.

One thing that always bothered me:

People get rejected without knowing why.

I'm working on a side project focused on helping applicants identify resume issues before applying.

What's a problem you've turned into a side hustle?

Recently launched ApplyBoostAI.

Biggest lesson so far:

Customers care far more about outcomes than features.

Nobody asks about AI.

They ask:

"Will this help me get interviews?"

What lessons have surprised you while building?

What lessons have surprised you while building?

I've spent the last few months talking with job seekers, recruiters, hiring managers, and founders while researching the hiring process.

One thing stood out:

Almost every business measures its funnel.

Visitors → Leads → Customers

Applicants, on the other hand, usually get:

Applied → Rejected

And that's it.

No data.
No explanation.
No feedback loop.

As a result, many people respond by increasing volume rather than improving quality.

50 applications become 200.

200 become 500.

From a systems perspective, that's fascinating because most businesses would never optimize a funnel without understanding where the drop-off occurs.

I'm curious how entrepreneurs think about this.

If you were redesigning the hiring process from scratch:

What information should applicants receive after being rejected?

And would more transparency improve outcomes, or simply create more noise for employers?

I've heard some wild stories recently:

• 6+ interview rounds for entry-level jobs
• Take-home assignments requiring 10+ hours
• Salary discussions only after the final round
• Interviewers showing up late or unprepared

Sometimes getting rejected is actually a blessing.

What's the biggest red flag you've encountered during an interview process that immediately made you lose interest in the company?

One thing I've noticed while talking with job seekers:

A lot of companies seem to want candidates who have:

• Exact industry experience
• Every listed skill
• Perfect resume
• Perfect interview performance
• Immediate availability

Meanwhile qualified candidates are sending hundreds of applications and hearing nothing.

I'm not saying hiring is easy.

But it feels like some hiring processes are optimized to eliminate people rather than identify talent.

For both recruiters and applicants:

What's the most unrealistic hiring requirement you've seen recently?

I was talking with a few job seekers recently and was shocked by how many people are going through 4–7 rounds of interviews before getting a rejection email—or sometimes no response at all.

One person I spoke with completed:

• Recruiter screen
• Hiring manager call
• Technical assessment
• Panel interview
• Final interview

And got a generic rejection two weeks later.

I'm curious:

What's the longest interview process you've gone through that ended without an offer?

How many rounds was it, and did they give any useful feedback?

The more resumes I analyzed, the more I noticed something:

People optimize quantity.

Rarely quality.

Many applicants spend 10 seconds customizing a resume and 3 hours applying.

The highest performers often do the opposite.

Has anyone here experienced a similar "less but better" strategy producing better results?

One thing surprised me while talking to job seekers:

Most people had absolutely no idea why they were being rejected.

They'd send 100+ applications and get zero feedback.

No data.

No explanations.

Nothing.

That's the problem I'm trying to solve.

Founders:

What's a problem your customers thought they had versus the problem they actually had?
