Started something out of passion and now it's on 1st page of Google

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, honestly, they showed up at the right time for me.

Before any of this, I already had a small audience I was helping out quietly, resume feedback, LinkedIn profile tips, that kind of thing. Nothing fancy.

Claude was new to me and I'm still figuring out half of what it can do, but somewhere in there an idea stuck: build a Boolean String Builder, but for candidates this time, not recruiters.

Why? Because Boolean strings have quietly been a recruiter's best weapon for years. Sales folks use the same trick to find leads and decision-makers. Meanwhil, jobseekers are stuck scrolling endlessly, getting nowhere, because let's be real, LinkedIn's search and Google X-ray were never designed with free users in mind. The people who knew how to exploit them have been doing it for decades. Everyone else just got left out.

So I built the tool for the other side, the jobseekers. It's helped people surface roles that were basically buried behind search terms they'd never have thought to use.

Honestly, I'm still a bit stunned it's now sitting on page 1 of Google, next to companies that built similar tools but gated them behind recruiter-only premium plans, nothing for the actual jobseeker.

I've also been watching where the traffic's coming from, which countries, and it's been a nice surprise.

No cost right now. It's fully free, and there's an AI chatbot baked in to help people build solid Boolean strings without needing to know the syntax.

Happy to answer any questions.

I am looking to get in touch with Freelancing Video Editors

I am a content creator (Beginner), but instead of spending time on editing content (which is an amazing skill to have), I'd prefer on making videos on the content I believe is more valuable to the audience I cater to.

But thinking about video editing, cuts, transitions, the B-rolls, animations, and texts are all delaying everything I have in mind.

I am primarily looking at getting in touch with young, creative video editors.

I am not looking for someone who has great years of expertise in Video editing, someone at a mediocre level should be good enough for the work I have in mind, which will be on a periodical basis. Freshers who have expertise with CapCut, Canva, or online video editing tools and have a passion for editing is what I am after.

If interested, do reach out to me via DM.

Thanks.

What are some of the tools that people are now integrating with their day to day Recruitment operations?

What are some of the automation tools that people are now integrating with their day to day Recruitment operations?

Automation or integration that has largely changed how we:

- Screen

- Assessment

- Interview and Scheduling

- Negotiation

- Offer Management

- Onboarding

- Candidate Experience

  1. Currently, we use SAP SuccessFactors for managing the whole candidate journey along with AI built psychometric tools that are integrated within the system.

  2. The use of MS Ecosystem (Power Automate) to run a few automations based on email triggers.

  3. Forms automation to get feedback post hire.

I'd be happy to know what fellow Redditors are using to smoothen the process.

I am an avid LinkedIn user with a massive following, something that I have nurtured over the past 5 years.

Since there are endless automations happening alk over, I would like to explore the below idea:

  1. A title is added to Google Sheet - Trigger

  2. The flow runs by giving 2 to 3 AI generated variants, ensuring LinkedIn post structure. This is broken down into smaller chunks, which will be used by Canva and fed into a carousel to be used on Instagram.

  3. Once the content is structured, a review email will be shared. Upon approval, the post is posted on the Personal LinkedIn account and Instagram page.

I am sure it's not a huge thing, and I am assuming there are already templates available that I can download the .json file and explore the n8n as an option, but then hosting becomes a pain.

Anyone out there who would be happy to take it up as a project?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a WordPress developer to help me build a simple but clean website.

About the project:

It’s a knowledge hub focused on:

Job seekers (interviews, recruitment insights, LinkedIn positioning)

Talent professionals (market trends, automations, tools like Power BI, analytics in decision-making)

Scope:

6 pages (including a blog)

Clean, professional, easy-to-navigate design

I’ll be upfront about the budget: $150–$200.

I’ve spent months trying to build it myself using WordPress/Elementor, but I realized it’s better to work with someone experienced and get it done right.

If you’re interested (or just starting out and want to build something meaningful for your portfolio), feel free to DM me with your work.
