Oaki–job finder and resume maker

Hi! I built Oaki about a year ago as a side project to solve my own frustration with job applications, and it’s now helping thousands of users with their job hunt. I had quit my previous (consulting) company when I decided to step back into the job market, and I HATED applying to jobs with a passion. Finding good jobs, sifting through all the crap, etc.etc. So I built a rough MVP and posted it on Reddit and got more paid users than I ever had with any other company/startup I was in. To top that off, I found a really awesome job (and landed many more interviews) with it, so I know from…

  • I built didtheyghost.me, open-source tool for your next job search2025 · didtheyghost.me · ▲66

    (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…

    We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at2022 · joinmaasive.com · ▲29

    hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

    Resumecreator.io – I built a simple resume builder2022 · resumecreator.io · ▲7

    Hi HN! I'm a developer who noticed that I haven't done much experimentation lately. I decided I wanted to change that this year. This month I built a simple resume builder with the main goal of practicing front-end development, and to scratch an itch I had when updating my resume. :) After it was functional enough, I casually shared with some friends to express my enjoyment of crafting something just for the sake of having some fun. To my surprise they ended up asking how they could send to others. So I went one step further, due to my pure excitement, and hosted it on Netlify to make…

    Hello HN, I am one of the creators of WorkInAI, and I'm excited to share our project with the community and gather valuable feedback. WorkInAI is a job aggregation platform for positions at leading AI startups. We have compiled over 350 job listings from more than 20 top AI startups, including companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and more. We created this platform in response to a friend's frustration with trying to find suitable AI startup roles in London. He used to check various company career pages frequently to see if any new opportunities had arisen -- so we built this to…

  • I built Canyon to help job seekers fight back against automated hiring2024 · usecanyon.com · ▲7

    Hey HN, I created an all-in-one platform to help job seekers build their resume, track job applications, and prepare for interviews. I built this mainly because the current tools for job seekers pale in comparison to the tools recruiters use to field candidates. Would love to know what you think!

    Tool for discovering unadvertised job opportunities2025 · ▲6

    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+…
