Products that do what Save hours in your job search with Python and GPT does
Skip straight to the bottom if you only want to know how to save hours of work in your job searching process just by using two simple python scripts + GPT As a former startup founder, lately I've been facing the complex challenge of transitioning back into the traditional job market. With no experience in the job searching game for the last 10+ years, I had no idea what I was getting myself into I still have a lot to go, but one of the most annoying and time-consuming parts of the process of applying to jobs so far, has been just even trying to find the right jobs to apply to Every jobs site…

I had an idea a couple days ago and I went with it. Basically, the idea was to create an IRC channel to help people find jobs; computer related jobs, in particular. There would be a bot to display job listings. So I started working on a first take on the bot. I decided to use Python because I love the language and I wanted to get more experience with a its libraries. TwitterBot (or JobFeeder on ##jobfeed) as I call it, uses Twisted (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted) and Twitter (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter)for now. Basically, it gets the…

In my spare time to remind myself that I could actually build stuff (and learn some Python, Flask, Redis, etc) I put together a simple job board to feature the best jobs in the API industry. The jobs can be either building APIs at companies like Twilio, Box, Stripe, etc. or integrating them. In addition to featuring those jobs, I'm also aggregating API jobs from GitHub Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers 2.0, and 37signals Job Board. Today I launched with what I would consider an 'MVP' with jobs from SendGrid, TokBox, Twilio, Zencoder, Parse, Stripe, Pusher and Box. Check it out, I'd love to know…

Wrote a proof of concept script for searching for jobs by copy pasting your resume. It looks for jobs posted on Hacker News Who’s Hiring from the past 3 months: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/12wt7cjhIUKf1Vu2rRFO... To use it, click Runtime > Run All. Wait about 5 minutes, then once everything is done, go to the bottom most cell and you can change the query variable from my resume to yours, and then re-run the cell. Largely written by GPT-4 and copy pasting documentation, with some minor tweaking.

As a software engineer, my reflex has always been to script everything I can. Scripting is easy, but everything around it is tricky: scripts have to run somewhere, they need access to credentials, they need to be monitored. None of it is simple. No-code automation platforms such as Zapier or IFTTT are too restrictive for technical tasks; CI/CD platforms make it easy to script tasks related to a repository, but are limited when trying to do anything else. I wanted the low level control you have when writing scripts while retaining the comfort of a platform managing execution for me. So I…

Hey HN, I wanted to share an open source plugin + skills I put together that turn Claude Code into a job search assistant. The goal is to minimize the amount of time needed to find interesting and relevant jobs. How it works: 1. Clone the repo, install the plugin, and run `/job-search` 2. Claude will ask a few questions to understand the roles you’re interested in and save your preferences locally. 3. Claude will then pull live job postings (currently, LinkedIn Jobs), compare posts against your preferences, and generate a digest of the posts that are relevant. 4. [Optionally] Claude…

Searching for job roles in tech? I've been there. For six months, I was stuck in the LinkedIn job application loop, getting nowhere. It was soul-crushing. I started to wonder if I was just a bad developer. But I changed my modus operandi and started reaching out to founders building super cool startups that got recently funded but didnt have the chance to post online yet that they are hiring, the response rate was much more significant and I wwas having super cool convos! This approach was so effective, I turned it into a product. I've tapped into premium data sources (we're talking $25K+…

Hi HN, https://companies.bx.tc My colleague and I put together this tool for easily searching UK company data. We run a few server side batches daily to extract data from various government sources before linking it all together in (what is now) a fairly large database. We're also using this project as a way to test out a new JS UI library we built (similar to Vue, but a bit faster) to see how it stands up in a real project. We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have for how we can improve the dashboard! Thanks :)

Ever looked at a price tag and thought, How many hours do I need to work for this? Instead of just seeing numbers, what if you could instantly see the cost in terms of your time? That’s why I built Time for Price — a simple browser extension that converts prices into work hours based on your income. Whether you're shopping online or budgeting, it helps you make decisions with time in mind, not just money. Just enter your hourly wage, and the extension automatically overlays the converted value on any product page. No more impulse buys—just instant, clear insight into what something really…

Hi, This is my new project (https://www.timepike.com/) which tries to solve basic problem of most small agencies: tracking working hours and holidays of employees and generating invoices for clients. I know that there are many similar solutions out there. Still, I haven't found one solving this problem in really clean, intuitive and super helpful way (for employer as much as for employees). That's why I decided to build one. Any feedback is really highly appreciated! Cheers, Wiktor

I have a bit of an obsession with spreadsheets, and wanted to see if it was possible to use Google Sheets to manage my job search. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ozM7JxBXyq16m9zHdvZaBj9fQVXKFleqUpK1RnIPMTg/edit?usp=drivesdk Using Indeed's job search API, I was able to pull together a simple sheet that utilizes no custom scripts. Good luck in your job hunt!

I got tired of manually reading through the hiring thread and automated it for myself using Github actions and GPT4o with structured data to extract data points I cared about. I also wrote about it if you're interested in reading how it was done here - https://amberwilliams.io/blogs/a6593b75-8cdd-4ae3-9a89-5dedb... Also follow up to use structured data here - https://amberwilliams.io/blogs/474b0361-cbc1-4fa5-b047-c042f...

I vibe-coded a small project that turns the “Ask HN: Who is hiring?” thread into searchable job data using OpenAI, PostgreSQL, and Metabase. It pulls the thread using the Hacker News API, uses GPT to extract fields like company, role, location, salary, and contact, stores everything in PostgreSQL, and spins up Metabase so you can explore and search the results. Right now it runs locally, but would anyone be interested if I built this out a bit more and made a public dashboard?

I’ve built a simple tool using Python with FastAPI and FastUI that imports “Who Is Hiring” job posts, allowing you to easily search through them and track the status of each opportunity. It helps you quickly organize and manage job applications without unecessary complexity.
