JobPilot — Automating the Job Search Process (Planned)
JobPilot is an upcoming project that I am currently planning and designing based on my own job search experience. While applying for roles, I noticed that managing applications across multiple platforms, tracking follow-ups, and analysing role requirements quickly becomes repetitive and disorganised.
The goal of JobPilot is to bring the entire job search process into one structured system.
Problem I Observed
During my job search:
- Applications were spread across multiple job portals
- Follow-up dates were easy to forget
- Job descriptions were difficult to track and compare
- Identifying common skill requirements took manual effort
This made the job search process inefficient and hard to manage over time.
Project Goal
JobPilot aims to help job seekers:
- Track job applications across multiple platforms
- Receive reminders for follow-ups
- Save and organise job descriptions
- Analyse skill requirements across applied roles
Planned Features
The initial planned features include:
- Centralised application tracking
- Job description parsing and storage
- Status reminders for follow-ups
- Skill-gap insights based on applied roles
- AI-powered role and skill recommendations
Planned Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js
- Database: MongoDB
- AI Integration: OpenAI API
Design & Planning Approach
The project is being designed with modular components so features can be built incrementally. The focus is on starting with core tracking functionality before introducing AI-powered insights.
This approach allows the platform to evolve based on real usage and feedback.
Why Build This?
Job searching is often a fragmented experience. JobPilot is intended to simplify the process by providing one clean, automated system that reduces manual effort and improves organisation.
Status
JobPilot is currently in the planning and design phase.
Development updates will be shared as implementation begins.
