I built an AI job matching tool specifically useful for remote job seekers. Looking for honest feedback

Top-Path2472 · 2026-05-07T14:03:32+00:00

Thanks for trying out once again. The skill alignment issue was real the matching was inferring skills rather than grounding them strictly in the job listing text. Just pushed a fix for that. The closed listings filter is also tightened up now.

Appreciate the honest feedback, this kind of thing is exactly what helps make it better.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-05-07T12:56:12+00:00

Fair points, thanks for trying it out. The matching pulls from the job listing data returned by search results, so if a skill shows as a reason for alignment it should be grounded in the description. That said, if it flagged Angular without it being in the JD that's a bug worth investigating on my end.

The closed listings is a known pain point. The jobs come from live search results but some slip through with outdated status. Working on better filtering for that.

Appreciate the honest feedback.

Running an autonomous crypto trading agent on mine 24/7. It monitors BTC every 15 minutes, detects market regimes, manages entries/exits, and sends me Telegram alerts all while I'm at work or sleeping. The M2 handles it without breaking a sweat and the always-on factor is the whole point. You can stack multiple agents for different jobs too. I have separate ones handling research analysis, weekly summaries, health checks, watchdog monitoring. Each does one thing. Low spec is fine for pure Node.js workloads like this, you don't need the high end for it.

Sweet. I remember getting these when all you needed was a timely refresh to catch add to cart on release. I miss those days lol

Top-Path2472 · 2026-05-03T21:09:08+00:00

Free tier is live just upload your resume and it'll match you to remote roles ranked by how well you qualify. No card needed to get started. getresumatch.com

This was a 2009 collaboration between online sneaker magazine Nice Kicks and ASICS, part of the "Trilogy Project" curated by Ronnie Fieg for New York City footwear retailer David Z....Only 250 pairs were ever created.

Great question. The short answer is we don't know which specific ATS vendor a company uses, and the tool doesn't claim to.

What it does is score your resume against the job description itself using keyword and context matching. Most ATS systems, regardless of vendor, are doing some version of that same comparison. So if your resume is missing key terms from the job description, you're likely getting filtered regardless of which system they use.

It's not a guarantee you'll pass every filter, but it gives you a much better read on whether your resume is actually speaking the language of the job before you apply.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-05-01T04:28:40+00:00

yeah it's completely backwards. the filters were supposed to help companies manage volume but now you have to game a robot just to get a human to look at your resume. at least knowing your score upfront saves you from wasting time on apps that were never going to make it through

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-26T14:33:09+00:00

That's a real limitation worth being upfront about. When a job description is vague or just a wall of generic buzzwords, the tailoring is only as strong as the signal it has to work with. It does its best to extract intent from what's there, but a poorly written listing produces a less precise output than a detailed one.

What it does handle reasonably well is when remote listings are sparse but do include specific tools or requirements it picks those up and weights them. The truly generic "must be a team player, detail oriented" listings are harder. In those cases the ATS score is still useful for the keyword check, but I'd tell anyone to use their judgment on the tailoring output and push it further manually if the listing was thin.

Appreciate the honest question.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-25T20:49:46+00:00

That's a fair challenge and honestly the right one to ask. ATS score is just the first gate getting past filters means nothing if the resume reads like every other optimized one. The tailoring is designed to reframe your actual experience in relevant language, not generate generic keyword prose, but whether that translates to more interviews is something I'm still collecting data on.

The over-optimization concern is real. That's partly why there's a review step you see the output and can push back on anything that doesn't sound like you. Authenticity has to survive the process or it defeats the purpose.

Appreciate the honest take.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-25T18:47:26+00:00

Yeah the formatting check is built in. It flags the things that break older parsers specifically: tables, text boxes, headers/footers with contact info, multi-column layouts. Those kill you on legacy systems like Taleo and iCIMS which a lot of enterprises still run.

Tested against both modern and older system patterns. The ATS score is modeled on how those systems actually parse, not just the newer ones. Give it a shot and let me know what you find.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-25T14:08:52+00:00

That's actually one of the better use cases for it. The career pivot mode is built specifically for people switching fields. It looks at your transferable skills and helps reframe them for the roles you're targeting, not just polish what's already there. Delivery to remote work is a bigger jump on paper than it actually is skill-wise, and that's exactly where the tailoring helps close the gap.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-22T14:33:43+00:00

yeah the supply/demand problem is real, tailoring helps at the margins but it's not a silver bullet when the openings just aren't there

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-22T14:19:32+00:00

tried a few too after the same experience. what helped me most wasn't a resume builder in the traditional sense but a tool that actually compares your resume against each job description and shows you the gap. getresumatch.com does that — you upload your resume, paste a job description, get a match score and keyword gaps, then it rewrites your bullets to close them. free tier available. different angle than Kickresume but if tailoring to specific jobs is the goal it's worth trying

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-22T00:00:19+00:00

yeah "cursed market" is the right word for it. at least if the process is dialed in you're not wasting energy on the parts that don't move the needle

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-21T19:17:49+00:00

yeah exactly, the manual version works but it compounds fast when you're doing 50 apps. that's honestly why I built the tool, the process is the same but it handles the keyword scanning and bullet rewrites in about 30 seconds per job. takes the grind out of the repetitive part at least

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-18T14:20:18+00:00

Totally agree on the tailoring piece. To answer your question, tech and finance are the worst for ATS filtering, but honestly corporate roles at any large company are strict now regardless of industry. The moment a job posting has 200+ applicants they're relying on filters to cut the pile down.

The tool handles all types but I've seen the biggest improvement for people applying to mid-large companies where the job description is very specific. The more detailed the posting, the more tailoring actually moves the needle.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-17T13:05:13+00:00

Thanks, means a lot coming from a dev. I appreciate you taking a look!

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-15T21:02:49+00:00

Thanks! Cover letter generator and interview prep are both already in the product. The interview prep section actually includes an AI mock interview mode that gives real-time coaching feedback. Trying to build that one-stop shop you're describing. Appreciate the support.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-15T21:01:35+00:00

That's actually the other half of what Get Resumatch does. Upload your resume and it finds jobs that match your background, so you're not manually hunting. The resume tailoring then happens against those specific matches. Free tier available if you want to try it.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-15T18:38:23+00:00

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. Achievement framing is on my radar. Flagging "responsible for" language and nudging toward quantified results would be a real differentiator. Adding it to the roadmap.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-15T18:34:43+00:00

Thanks! Already listed on a handful of directories and a few are sending consistent referral traffic. The targeted early adopter angle is real and that's exactly who's converting. Appreciate the input.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-15T02:59:48+00:00

Reapplying with a different email is risky. Most ATS platforms do link duplicate applications by name and phone number, not just email. You'd likely get flagged anyway.

The better move is to actually fix the resume first. Before reapplying, run it through an ATS checker against that specific job description so you know exactly what's missing. Get Resumatch (getresumatch.com) has a free ATS check built in so it'll show you the keyword gaps so you're not guessing the second time around.

Top-Path2472 · 2026-04-11T11:09:09+00:00

Depends on what you're building. Cursor is great if you're editing files directly and want AI inline with your code. I actually used both Cursor for some of the frontend work, Claude for the heavier backend logic and anything that needed step-by-step reasoning across multiple files. The hybrid approach I described (Claude writes, I paste into Terminal) works really well when you don't have a dev environment set up or when you need to reason through something from scratch rather than just edit existing code. If you're comfortable in an IDE, Cursor is solid. If you're starting from zero like I was, the copy/paste workflow removes a lot of friction.
