After 3 months of job applications with a 4% response rate, I learned that most companies use automated systems (ATS) that filter applications before humans see them.
I was getting scored around 30-40/100 by these systems. Companies typically auto-reject anything below 70.
Built this tool to solve my own problem:
- Analyzes job descriptions for keywords their system scans for
- Shows match percentage and missing keywords
- Suggests optimized bullets with metrics
- Free, no signup
Tech: React/TypeScript frontend, FastAPI backend, GPT-4 for optimization suggestions
After using it: 40% response rate, 3 interviews in a week, accepted an offer.

Would love feedback from the HN community on the approach or tech stack!

The testimonials look so fake and remove all credibility in what may be an interesting product.
Nice you want to level the playing field for candidates, but first impressions != authentic
