Not bad. Got some possible roles in the first couple of pages (enough that I actually clocked on the links). The ones that missed were reasonable too, at least as good as…
slyall on HNAwesome work! I would use this and I personally know a couple of people who would too! Are the jobs up to date? How are you sourcing jobs? Are you searching indeed.com?

Interesting application of embeddings
From 2 comments
Generally speaking, this is an interesting application. Users will tell if it's useful, but regardless, I'm curious to apps that use LLMs in such ways... Returning lists.

Uploading a CV to an untrusted site without a privacy policy is worrying
From 3 comments
I don’t feel safe uploading a cv to an untrusted site. It doesn’t explain what happens with the cv on first glance after it’s uploaded. Good luck

Import profile from LinkedIn
From 2 comments
Cool idea, congrats on launching! Though I ditched resume a long time ago to only use linkedin. Having the option to automatically fetch info from Li would make it easier for me…
greatNespresso on HNThis looks cool. I use LinkedIn as my most up to date resume. I could export to PDF and then upload it to you, but it would be great if I could just put in my LinkedIn URL.

Filters for location, remote, and team size
From 2 comments
What I'd love to see is a view on the "who's hiring" where I can start by saything something like: * I live in Germany, and want to work remotely. Then it filters out all the…
perlgeek on HNGreat 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…
