ai-job-searcher

A personal AI agent for job search. One engine, many profiles. Built on Claude Code + a plain Node.js toolkit (no build step); all the AI lives behind the CLI.

What it is

A job-search pipeline that scans ATS feeds and job boards, filters roles against my preferences, drafts tailored cover letters, pushes everything into Notion as a Kanban pipeline, and reads my Gmail to move cards when recruiters reply.

I built it for myself. When a family member also needed a job search, I rebuilt it so one codebase could serve multiple candidates without code duplication.

Evolution

It started as a single-user Python + AppleScript Frankenstein — hardcoded to me, hardcoded to one Notion workspace. After ~1 month of daily use and a clear picture of what actually mattered, I rewrote it from scratch:

• v1 (prototype) — single-user, monolithic. Shipped fast, was

good enough to land interviews, accumulated drift as fast as I shipped features.

• v2 (this repo) — engine cleanly split from profile data, so one

deployment serves multiple candidates. Per-profile Notion DBs, per-profile resume archetypes, per-profile salary models. Onboarding a new candidate is a 15-minute conversation with Claude (the onboard-profile skill drives the questionnaire), not a day of copy-paste.

The old v1 codebases are not public — they predate the clean-slate rewrite and carry personal data in their history.
