Read the full description
freehire is a filterable, job board aggregator, job tracker, and AI-assisted resume tailoring tool. Saving your skills and preferences changes which jobs appear and how your resume gets tailored. I've looked at a lot of these solutions over the years and found it really hard to find the right mix of tools in an open-source offering.I've contributed to a few issues now and worked closely with the maintainer. I've watched this evolve over the last few months. I feel it's ready for everyone to check out and stress test.Source: github.com/strelov1/freehire

Partial The search UI, saved preferences, and resume tailoring are vibe-codeable, but indexing millions of jobs from thousands of career boards needs a maintained crawler and deduplication pipeline.
What it would actually take: The stack is a web frontend, a search index (e.g., Postgres full-text or OpenSearch), an LLM for resume tailoring, and an MCP server. The hard part is the ingestion layer: thousands of heterogeneous career-board scrapers or ATS APIs that break constantly, plus deduplication and tagging at millions of records. That needs distributed crawling infrastructure and ongoing maintenance effort.
