Months of sending CVs into silence.
So I built the filter I needed.

740 listings evaluated. 68 applied. 12 interviews. 1 offer.
I was its first user. I got the job. Then I open-⁠sourced it.

Paste a job. On your machine, it tells you if it's still open and if it fits.
It tailors your CV and drafts your answers. You press Submit.

Companies use AI to filter candidates.
I just gave candidates AI to choose companies.

Six months later, I left that job.
Now we build career-ops, so you can land yours.

The people who came after me wrote down how they got hired.

⭐ If career-ops helped you, a star helps the next person find it.

Your turn

Paste one job you were about to apply to tonight. If it comes back do not apply, you just got the night back. If it comes back with a plan, you know what to do next.

You don't have to search alone

The silence after you hit send is not about you. Enough people saw the same thing to write the practice down, in six lines:

Apply better to fewer. Signal over volume. Evidence over keywords. A human decides. Local-first. Dignity on both sides of the table.

A few of them, in their own words.

_{Every signature is a commit you can audit. Read them all, or add yours → · What is AI job search?}

Hiring will not fix itself. The people going through it can, and they are already in the room, comparing notes and fixing each other's setups.

This is where the fix gets written. A room, not a club. Let's build together.

Sponsors

career-ops is free for candidates, forever. These companies sponsor the project:

SerpApi · Build a portfolio project with live search data. SerpApi gives developers structured JSON/Markdown from Google Search, Maps, Shopping, and other engines through a simple API call.

Sponsorship buys clearly labeled visibility, never influence: no amount of money changes the roadmap or places anything in the product. Sponsors never appear in evaluations, rankings or recommendations.

What career-ops does for you

Paste a job. It tells you whether that night is worth it.

• Still open? It checks that the posting is still live before you write a word.
• Not you? It scores the role against your real CV and tells you to skip a weak fit. You can override it.
• Worth it? It drafts the CV, the cover letter and the answers. You
