24 alternatives to A resume filtering puzzle running on a VM running in browser via WASM

I built a little puzzle to (hopefully) increase the signal on resume submissions for a job posting. It leverages a really cool project: https://github.com/edubart/webcm

A resume filtering puzzle that runs a virtual machine in the browser using WebAssembly to verify genuine applicant engagement with job postings. Designed for hiring managers and recruiters, it aims to reduce noise in… 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…

    (not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…

    Hey HN,After applying to 300+ jobs over the last year and getting ghosted by ATS bots despite having solid experience (and seeing friends waste hours keyword-stuffing or using shady white-text prompts that recruiters now auto-reject), I got fed up. So I built Cvora (https://www.cvora.net): an AI that takes your existing CV + a job description and: -Extracts only real keywords from the posting (zero hallucinations or invented skills) -Rewrites your bullets naturally and professionally to highlight what you've actually done -Generates a clean, ATS-proof PDF in seconds (tested against…

    Hey HN, I am a solopreneur building AI SaaS and mini tools. I recently built ResumeSet, an AI resume builder that creates tailored resumes based on job descriptions from any job link. Job hunting can feel like a full-time job itself, especially with the growing reliance on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that automatically filter out resumes. I wanted to help job seekers create resumes more likely to pass ATS checks without endless manual tweaking. How it works: - Paste the job link, and ResumeSet's AI analyzes the job requirements to tailor your resume to match the job's key requirements…

    Stack: WASM + Rust + Macroquad I saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well. Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready. I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces. (Please don't spam my email address, but feel free to send me an email with your high score if you want!)

    We built SWEResume based on community feedback and insights from FAANG recruiters (some of them even joined us as advisors). Our selling point is simple: ATS/LLM parsing optimized resumes, with non-generic AI content improvements based on actual successful resumes. We spent a long time fine-tuning our formatter to be able to generate latex styled PDFs using a simple GUI editor. The formatting and parsing improvements are free to apply and generate as much as you want. We only charge for the deep content analysis, which actually costs us. Initial users have loved it so far, and would…

    Job market right now is brutal - have been applying to hundreds of jobs on various job boards after being laid off, but barely hear back. Feels like the current system is broken. Decided to channel this frustration & build an early MVP of a job matching platform that uses an AI agent to match candidates with the most relevant opportunities. How it works (also demo on YouTube https://youtu.be/qjnsgfctAQA?si=jTl2NNgMvLJcTFKR): - Agent synthesizes data from candidate resume and future job preferences, searches our database of jobs that are most relevant based on the description,…
