Job hunting sucks. That grind of digging through LinkedIn and Indeed, sifting through endless spammy emails from headhunters who try to get the biggest possible audience, clicking "Quick Apply" to silent response, and trying to figure out which of all of these jobs are even real. My wife hit all of this when she started job hunting a few months ago, so I built her a tool to take the worst part of it off her plate. It turned into this. Oh, and she got an offer letter from a major company in just shy of two and a half weeks. Now, she loves her job.
Morning Stack runs overnight. While my users sleep it works through the big job boards (and some niche ones), and then it tries to disprove every listing before it trusts one.
Is the job even real? - It opens the posting in a real browser (Playwright) and checks. There's no API scraping and we don't login to anything. Then, we resolve back to the company's own ATS page so you can apply directly to them. If it can't find it, the job is dropped.
Does it match what you asked for? - An LLM crosschecks the job description against your profile (Resume, Career Story, and Desired Roles, Comp Band, Geography and Benefits). The more specific you are, the less jobs you'll ultimately receive. That's kind of the point.
For the few surviving contenders, it tweaks your actual resume to the job description and drafts a cover letter for each. A separate verifier re-reads those against your actual resume, stripping any facts it can't support. We avoid AI-BS with a 3-strike rule: if it can't support a claim after three tries, it drops the job and moves on instead of shipping something fabricated.
By 7AM, you've got a small stack (up to 3) of real openings with finished packages.
- You see a little bit of good intel on each (company and job info, and any outliers like high-comp or unlimited PTO). - You review them to determine if you're interested. You polish and submit yourself on the company's most direct site.
That's it. It's your reputation; you control it. Here's a few things I deliberately did not build this for:
It never logs in to any of your actual accounts and it never auto-applies on your behalf. This is a really terrible trend in my opinion. I don't think it's working and I don't think people trust it. "Spray-and-pray" isn't the right fit for people who care about the outcome of their career and you will always be the one who submits under your own name.
Opening for a small beta cohort this week. There's a waitlist. The link is above.
Happy to get into the architecture or the ToS reasoning in the comments.
