24 alternatives to A Machine Learning Model for Salary Estimation
Some time ago, I tried to scrape every Bay Area profile off LinkedIn until the site blocked my entire office network (Lesson learned: Use a proxy). This was Bad because we were (and still are!) hir…
This machine learning model estimates salaries based on LinkedIn profile information, designed for recruiters and hiring teams in the Bay Area. It uses Latent Semantic Indexing to analyze profile data and maps job… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Hey HN! I'm excited to show off this side project I've been working on. This project matches your resume with the best matching jobs from the monthly HN Who's Hiring post. It works by creating a vector embedding of your resume using OpenAI's embedding API, and then ranking the jobs using a vector similarity score. (You can toggle between max inner product, cosine, and euclidean in the "Advanced Options") I was laid off in August and it took a whole 6 months for me to find my new job. Fortunately, I found my new role on January's HN Who's Hiring post. So I hope this will prove useful to any…

Hi HN! A few days ago I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends I could glean from the data, so I created this! You can filter through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020. Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring across cities. I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you should be able to just link the page you're on! [0]…

Generally, I found resumes too vague to get to know anyone (hence why no one networks with them), professional blogs too low ROI, walking up to people unscalable, and cold messaging fairly low success-rate. I wanted the 'marketing tool' of networking to get myself out there. Something that lets me: 1) Draw people into a conversation before they've realized it 2) Make them remember me and ultimately reach out to me 3) See what people asked me so I can further refine my interactive profile and start the networking cycle again So I built a website where anyone can create these interactive…

As a founder, finding early customers is always a challenge. I'd come up with specific guesses for people to talk to - such "VCs that used to be startup founders" or "Former lawyers who are now CTOs." Running those types of searches typically involves opening dozens of LinkedIn profiles in tabs, and looking at them one-by-one. And, it turns out that going through LinkedIn profiles one-by-one is a daily job for many people. I started building Find AI to make it easier to search for people. I initially started just having GPT review people's LinkedIn profiles and websites, but it cost…

There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further. Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36163021), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences: * Country and remote work preferences * Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government) * Industry * Technologies used * Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.) * Salary range (where available) One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from…

My friend and I got tired of job hunting (347 applications, 4 responses) so we built AI agents to help job seekers instead of replacing them. The problem: 73% of applications never reach humans, 250+ people apply to each job, but 85% of positions are filled through networking. Our solution: AI agents that find hiring managers for any LinkedIn job, analyze your profile fit, and generate personalized outreach messages. Instead of competing with hundreds in the application pile, you reach decision-makers directly. Technical bits: LangChain + OpenAI for job parsing, Next.js + Supabase, custom…

This is a personal experiment that uses LLMs to rank unstructured job posting data based on user-defined criteria. Traditional job search platforms rely on rigid filtering systems, but many users lack such concrete criteria. One of the superpowers of LLMs is understanding unstructured data, like the job postings in the monthly "Ask HN: who's hiring" threads. So I built a little tool that lets you define your preferences in a more natural way and then rates each job postings based on the relevance. You can define what you're looking for in simple terms and get a custom list ranked by…

Excited to share my New Year’s project. For a long time, I’ve wanted to build H-1B data directly into Levels.fyi. Every time I went looking for this data elsewhere, it was a frustrating experience to use. Most H-1B sites felt antiquated, unintuitive, cluttered with ads, or just overwhelming to use. The data was there, but it wasn’t usable, and definitely not pleasant to explore. So out of that frustration, I decided to build the H-1B data experience I personally wanted to use. Right into Levels.fyi. https://levels.fyi/h1b/ Some other pages I'm excited about: Wage Heatmap:…
