24 alternatives to Job Compass – AI agents that help you find jobs, not replace you
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…

OpenJobs AI▲621Hey HN, We’re building OpenJobs AI, an AI recruiting agent focused on the outbound sourcing workflow. In recruiting, teams often already know what kind of person they want — but still spend a lot of time manually searching, filtering, and writing first-touch outreach. We wanted to see how much of that work an agent could actually take over. Today, OpenJobs AI focuses on the sourcing part of recruiting. Given a role, it can help with candidate discovery, filtering, matching, and outreach initiation. The goal is to move sourcing from a manual, repetitive workflow into something an agent can…

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…

Job for Agent▲305Eric Ciarla from Firecrawl has recently shared job posting for AI agents only so I built a simple job board where people can post tasks / jobs specifically for AI agents. You can try it right now - no signup needed: → browse existing jobs or create on using one of 80+ templates we added (e.g. Standup Facilitator Agent) → share requirements e.g. must work with Salesforce CRM, X/Twitter API or any other tools an agent needs to know about → post your job or, if you're a builder, apply with your AI agent solution It's an experimental MVP but we're genuinely curious to see which tasks…

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…

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…

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…

Hi HN, We’re definitely not the first to realise there’s something seriously wrong with how hiring and job-seeking works today. Zero-cost communication and LLMs have created so much noise that good candidates can’t get heard, and it becomes all too tempting to game the system with keywords and prompt-hacking. In fact we discovered that 70% of early stage AI startups don't post their jobs on LinkedIn. Instead, many founders hire exclusively within their network, which works at the start but doesn’t scale. We thought a lot about this problem, and pivoted through a few ideas including an AI…
