Jobfyt
Job Search Copilot
I got caught in the tech layoffs after 25 years in client-facing consulting, and the job hunt itself turned out to be the worst-designed workflow I'd ever seen. So I built Jobfyt while searching.
What it does: reads hundreds of fresh postings a day across 10+ sources per user, scores each against the person's real background, emails the matches every morning, generates tailored resumes and cover letters, and keeps the pipeline on one board. I'm my own heaviest user — my search runs on it daily. Here's what a morning looks like:
Where it stands: live at jobfyt.com — first users on the free trial, pre-revenue, $20/40 a month flat when they convert. The free wedge is an ATS checker at jobfyt.com/ats-checker (no signup) that honestly tells most people their resume is fine — the average score across everyone checked so far is 93/100, which turned out to be a better trust move than manufacturing anxiety.
Solo, bootstrapped, .NET/Azure - AI is GPT.
Happy to answer anything about the build, the AI cost model (every LLM call is metered per-user), or getting the first users — I'd genuinely value input from anyone who's sold into job seekers before.

The ATS checker is interesting because it reduces unnecessary anxiety instead of creating it.
That changes the relationship with users. If people trust that you'll tell them when their resume isn't the problem, they're much more likely to trust your guidance when something actually needs to change.
Exactly right. Most resumes we score are genuinely fine — the average is 93/100 — which matches what I learned the hard way in my own search: the resume usually isn't the problem. Targeting and volume are. Telling someone their resume is broken when it isn't sells fixes; it doesn't get them hired.
Same principle runs through the rest of the product. The fit scoring is deliberately honest about which jobs aren't worth your time, because one good "skip this one" buys back an hour you can spend on a real match. Trust compounds — you only get to give the hard advice later if you didn't cry wolf earlier.
Really like how you're thinking about this.
I have a couple of thoughts on where this positioning could become even stronger, but they're probably better discussed off the thread than publicly.
If you're open to it, happy to send them over—what's the best email to reach you?
The ATS checker as a free wedge is smart giving people good news (93/100 average) instead of manufactured anxiety builds trust way faster than the fear-based tools in this space. Curious what channels you’ve tried so far for reaching job seekers? That audience is very different from typical SaaS buyers they’re usually in Reddit job-search subs, LinkedIn groups, and Discord servers built around specific roles
Thanks — the positive framing was honestly half discovery. Early on I noticed most decent resumes score well, and telling someone "you're in good shape, here's the one thing to fix" landed way better than the red-alert theater others run on.
Channels so far, early days: a small Google and Facebook Search campaigns, programmatic SEO (role-specific keyword pages built from actual posting data, ~76 live and starting to index), posts like this one, and starting outreach to career coaches this week and facebook career/layoff groups .
Role-specific Discords I haven't seriously tried — have you seen products actually get traction there without tripping the self-promo wires? The mod dynamics seem even touchier than Reddit's.
Discord works but only if you’re a real member first, not a promoter answer questions genuinely for a few days, then mention the tool naturally when it fits. Cold-dropping links gets you banned fast.
Career coaches is smart too, they see hundreds of job seekers and can refer at scale.
Sounds like a solid strategy already. Are you on Telegram, Discord or email?
Thanks - that matches my read on Discord. I'm treating it exactly like you said: be a member first, answer questions, and only mention the tool when someone's problem is literally the thing it does. No links unless someone asks.
Coaches are where I'm putting some effort but I'll check discord out too. One coach who trusts the tool though refers more people in a month than I could reach cold in a quarter.
