I built an AI job search assistant because I was tired of how repetitive job hunting has become

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a side project called Jobifer over the last few months.

The idea came from watching how much time people spend doing the same things over and over:

  • Searching multiple job boards
  • Tailoring their CV for every application
  • Filling out repetitive forms
  • Trying to figure out who the hiring manager is

I wanted to build something that handles more of that busywork.

Right now, Jobifer can help discover relevant jobs, score how well they match your profile, generate tailored CVs, identify hiring contacts, and draft personalized outreach that you review before sending.

It's still early, and I'm sure there are things I'm missing.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback. Whether it's about the idea, the workflow, or anything that feels confusing or unnecessary.

Thanks for taking a look!

"Make a promotional video for my startup" sounded simple. AI disappointed.

Hello guys,

Job hunting has honestly become one of the most draining things I’ve had to deal with.

A while ago, I was looking for a job after spending years as a founder/builder, and the normal process just felt broken. Polish CV, tailor it again and again, apply through job boards, wait, hear nothing, repeat.

What eventually worked for me was targeted outreach.

I started looking for roles that actually matched my background, then tried to find the people connected to those roles: founders, hiring managers, team leads, department heads, etc. Instead of just applying through portals, I reached out directly with a short, specific message and a CV tailored to that role.

That approach got me around 6 interviews in a month.

Later, I tried automating parts of this process using tools like Make and email-finding tools. It helped, but it also created some embarrassing mistakes because the automation didn’t actually understand my profile or the roles. It could send emails, but it had no judgment.

That made me realize something:

Job search automation is only useful if it has context.

It needs to understand:

  1. What kind of roles you are genuinely qualified for
  2. What your strongest experience is
  3. Whether the role is actually relevant
  4. Who the right person is to contact
  5. How to write outreach that doesn’t sound like spam
  6. How to tailor the CV without lying or exaggerating

I’ve been experimenting with building a more intelligent version of this workflow for myself and a few others, but the bigger lesson is this:

Don’t just automate applications.

Automate research, filtering, matching, and preparation. Keep the final approval human.

A bad automated job search can make you look careless. A good semi-automated one can save hours and help you reach people who would otherwise never see your application.

Curious if anyone else here has tried direct outreach instead of relying only on job boards. Did it actually help you get interviews?
