How Jobreach works

One form: your resume (or a few, if you have them), the kinds of role you want (up to four, such as backend developer, data analyst or account executive), your GitHub, portfolio and LinkedIn links, and your preferences: cities, remote or office, internship or full-time, and the least pay you would take. Then a few quick questions about what your resume leaves out.

Jobreach reads all of it, including your public GitHub projects and your portfolio page, and builds your profile. Every line is checked against what you gave it. A claim or a number it can't trace back to your own documents is left out, and it tells you which and why. It then makes one strong resume for each kind of role you want, each fitted to one page. You can change anything before you start.

Two places, and you can use both.

• A shared search. Jobreach reads the public job boards that companies run themselves (on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby), the careers pages of companies it has checked, and the monthly Hacker News hiring threads. Each opening is read once and offered to everyone it suits.
• Posts you find. Paste a hiring post or its link on Add a post, press Add to Jobreach on a LinkedIn post with the Jobreach Chrome extension, or forward a post to the Jobreach bot on Telegram or WhatsApp. A post you add stays private to you.

Jobreach never logs in to LinkedIn and never browses it for you. A LinkedIn link is read from the public page LinkedIn shows to people who aren't signed in.

1. 1

   It is read

   The role, the years of experience asked for, the skills required and nice to have, the pay, and how to apply. An email address is kept only if it is written in the post.
2. 2

   It is screened

   Posts that ask you for money and job mills are dropped for everyone. A post from a recruiter hiring for a client, a staffing firm or a role outside India is flagged, so you know before you write.
3. 3

   The company is checked

   Its domain, its mail server and its homepage, and a short summary of what it does. The checks are kept for 30 days and shared, so each company is checked once.
4. 4

   The right address is found

   Only published addresses, in this order: the one in the post (a named founder or hiring manager first, then HR, then a hiring mailbox), then a hiring address on the company's own site. A general inbox like hello@ is a last resort, and the opening says so. Addresses are never guessed. How to find the right address.
5. 5

   It is matched to you

   Your rules come first: place, remote or office, internship or full-time, pay floor, batch year and CGPA limits, how fresh the post is, one role per company. Then your kind of role and your years of experience. You get a score out of 100, what matches and what is missing in plain words, and a group: strong, good, or with gaps.

When you pick an opening, Jobreach starts from your resume for that kind of role and fits it to the post: the projects and lines that answer what the post asks for move up, the skills are reordered, and the title line follows the role without claiming a seniority you don't have. Every line is still your own, reworded at most. The resume is rendered and checked to fit one page, and you get it as a PDF.

A short email in three paragraphs: who you are and why you are writing, the piece of your work that best answers the post, and why this company. It goes to the one person Jobreach chose, and your signature with your links is added as you wrote it.

Before it reaches you it is checked in code: no address that wasn't published, no number that isn't in your documents or the post, the right length, and no bare links. An email that fails is rewritten, and one that still fails is held for you to read first.

See a full example in How to email a recruiter about a LinkedIn hiring post.

• Connect Gmail once. Each email that passes its checks is saved as a draft in your own Gmail, with the resume attached. Jobreach asks Google only for permission to create drafts.
• Read it, change what you like, and press Send. It goes from your address, under your name.
• Or share a link to the resume instead of attaching it: you see how often it was opened, and you can turn the link off whenever you like.
• Mark what happens next (a reply, an interview, a rejection), and the opening moves along in your Applications.

If you would rather not press Send each time, Send for me is an option you turn on: emails that passed every check go from your own Gmail, a few a day, inside the hours you choose, and you can stop any one before it goes. It is off until you turn it on.

• Put a claim or a number on your resume that isn't in what you gave it.
• Guess an email address, or write to an address published for press or support.
• Fill in application forms or apply on job portals for you.
• Log in to LinkedIn, or send anything without your say (unless you turned on Send for me).
• Sell your data or show advertising.
