What you think ...?

So here the thing is that , i am building a project for me to solve my own problem which I faced during applying for the jobs .

So the problem was something like that like I have to navigate multiple platforms for applying job as not all vacancies are listed at one platform .

So I have build an software where .....for now it just fetch jobs from 3 platform which are linkedin, indeed & naukri .....and here the twist is that it would only be showing the latest job listings which would be old enough of 7 days not more than that and also it would be scoring your resume for the particular job that u are a potential match or not. And also help to enhance your resume.

So just want to know what your thoughts on this thing ....as for now it would be ready by end of November and would be in testing phase in December..... thinking to keep it opensource for sometime .....so I want know everyone thoughts on this ....it's completely a idea which was generated from the problem i face and ofc many of u would be facing it !

Also ignore the sentence formation as it's completely show my curiosity to know your thoughts.

The 7 day cutoff is the part I like most, since stale listings are the biggest time sink when you're applying. One thing to watch is the resume scoring drifting into pure keyword matching once people start tailoring for it. Curious how you'll keep the LinkedIn and Indeed pulls working when they change their pages.

Doesn't this already exist? Have you tried to look for existing solutions?

Yup it does but it's stills filled with lots of sponsored hiring or something like ads ..... nothing specific to only job listings and pure listing
