This self-hosted application simplifies the job hunting process by allowing users to input their CV and target keywords.

Key Features

AI Scoring Optionality: Users can choose to enable AI scoring for job relevance using an API key from providers like Groq or run it in Lite Mode without any external keys, relying solely on keyword matching.
Data Ownership: All data is stored locally in a SQLite database, ensuring that users have complete control over their personal information without any data being sent off-site unless configured to do so.
Simplified Operation: The tool can be launched with a single command using Docker, providing a fully functional web dashboard, REST API, and database without the need for complicated local setups.
Scriptable Interface: Every operation conducted within the UI is accessible via REST API endpoints, making it easy to integrate into existing automation workflows.

User Experience

Begin the process by pasting your CV and relevant keywords into the user-friendly web interface.
The tool scans multiple job sites and assigns a relevance score to each listing from 0-10 based on the match quality with the user’s CV.
Users have the flexibility to pause, resume, or restart job searches directly from the dashboard.
Results can be exported in both JSON and CSV formats for further analysis or record-keeping.
Optionally receive alerts via webhook or email when high-scoring job opportunities are detected.
