Job Hunter

End-to-end job search assistant — from finding opportunities to landing interviews.

Quick Start

1. Set up candidate profile

Create a profile JSON for the user. Use the template at {baseDir}/references/profile-template.json as a starting point. Ask the user about:

• - Target roles and seniority level
• Key skills and tools
• Location preferences (cities + remote)
• Salary expectations
• Dealbreakers and excluded companies
• Preferred industries/domains

Save as profile.json in the workspace.

2. Search for jobs

Use the web_search tool with multiple queries to cast a wide net:

CODEBLOCK0

Expand keywords — don't just search one title. See {baseDir}/references/search-strategies.md for keyword expansion patterns.

Alternative: run the search script if Brave API is available:
CODEBLOCK1

3. Evaluate fit

For each job found, run fit analysis:
CODEBLOCK2

Or evaluate manually using this framework:

• - Skill match (40%): Does user have 60%+ of required skills?
• Seniority match (25%): Right level — not over/under qualified?
• Location match (15%): Compatible location or remote?
• Domain match (10%): Preferred industry/domain?
• Red flags (10%): Excluded companies? Dealbreakers?

Score: 🟢 75+ great | 🟡 55-74 good | 🟠 40-54 stretch | 🔴 <40 skip

4. Present results

For each job, present:

• - Role & Company with direct link
• Fit score with color indicator
• Why it's a match (top 3 skill matches)
• Gaps to address (missing skills to highlight as "eager to learn")
• Salary estimate if available
• Recommendation: Apply / Maybe / Skip

Application Support

Cover letters

Read {baseDir}/references/cover-letter-guide.md for structure and tone guidelines. Generate tailored cover letters that:

• - Reference specific company details (not generic)
• Map user's experience to top 2-3 job requirements
• Include quantified achievements
• Stay under 350 words

Interview prep

Read {baseDir}/references/interview-prep.md for complete preparation framework. Help with:

• - Company research summaries
• STAR stories for key requirements
• Tailored "tell me about yourself" script
• Salary negotiation talking points
• Questions to ask the interviewer

Salary research

bash {baseDir}/scripts/salary_research.sh "Job Title" "Location"

Cross-reference 3+ sources. In the Netherlands: factor in 8% holiday allowance, possible 13th month, pension.

Daily Brief Format

When running as a scheduled job search brief:

1. 1. New opportunities — jobs found in last 24h with fit scores and direct links
2. Application status — updates on pending applications
3. Action items — what to apply to today, follow-ups due
4. Market intel — industry trends, salary movements, hiring patterns

Tracking

Maintain a job tracker with:

• - Company, role, date found, source URL
• Fit score and recommendation
• Status: new → applied → screening → interview → offer/rejected/INLINECODE12
• Applied/skipped with reason
• Contact info and follow-up dates

Tips for Agents

• - Never apply on behalf of the user — present opportunities, let them decide
• Don't overwhelm — 3-5 quality matches beat 20 mediocre ones
• Track excluded companies — never suggest the same company twice after rejection
• Be honest about fit — stretches are okay to flag, but don't oversell poor matches
• Respect dealbreakers — if user said no customer service, don't suggest it even if "it's a great company"
• Update the profile — as you learn user preferences, refine the profile
• Celebrate wins — applied to a job? Got an interview? Acknowledge it
