Show HN: HN Resume to Jobs – AI Powered Job Matching Tailored to Your Resume

#1

Post by SCUSKU »

Hey HN! I'm excited to show off this side project I've been working on. This project matches your resume with the best matching jobs from the monthly HN Who's Hiring post. It works by creating a vector embedding of your resume using OpenAI's embedding API, and then ranking the jobs using a vector similarity score. (You can toggle between max inner product, cosine, and euclidean in the "Advanced Options")

I was laid off in August and it took a whole 6 months for me to find my new job. Fortunately, I found my new role on January's HN Who's Hiring post. So I hope this will prove useful to any job seekers out there. I know it's a tough time right now, but you will get through it!

Thanks HN! I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback!

Great work and congrats on the new job!

If you have a backend, perhaps add a feedback loop from the user which ones are relevant and which ones are not.

Using OpenAI, perhaps you can analyze the attributes and allow user to filter by Location, Title, size of the team, tags etc.

That sounds like a good idea, but I do wonder if it's a little too... safe?

Every job I've ever taken, there were bullet points in the requirements that I didn't have. And every job has been in a different industry. (Granted, this is only 5 job hops in over 15 years) I'm not really sure I'd want to be perfectly qualified for a new job. Part of the fun is learning new stuff.

Of course, I do understand that any job is better than no job, and it's much easier to land one where you do hit all of the bullet points.

This is a really good point. I've also moved upwards into jobs I don't technically meet the requirements in most of my roles. I wonder if an AI tool could generate a new resume based on your existing resume and the job spec for a role to find the best intersection of the two in order to increase your chances of getting an interview...

Thank you! It's been great so far, and I actually learned about some of the technologies in this project from my new job (RTKQuery to be specific).

I actually do have a "Apply Filters" button, have you given that a try? I do thing the team size tag is a great idea.
