For professionals job hunting in Australia
Job Seeker Agent reads your Seek and LinkedIn alert emails in the background, scores every role against what actually matters to you, and tells you honestly whether your resume will pass screening — before you spend an evening applying.
The problem
If you're running a serious job search, your mornings look like this: a dozen alert emails from Seek and LinkedIn, each one a list of thin, two-line summaries. You open each ad, read the full description, decide it's not right, and repeat — daily, for months. And the alerts can't tell you what you actually need to know:
Job ads don't reveal how a team really operates. Alerts filter on title keywords, not on what makes work satisfying for you.
Application screening is a black box. You apply, hear nothing, and never learn whether it was a real gap or a fixable resume problem.
Alerts have no memory. The same role resurfaces across sources and days, and nothing stops you looking at it — or applying to it — twice.
So you compensate manually: a spreadsheet as a system of record, hours of triage, and a rewritten resume and cover letter for every application worth pursuing. Generic AI tools offer to write those for you — and pad them with experience you don't have.
The cost isn't just hours a day. It's the good role you missed on day one because it was buried under forty bad ones.
The solution
Job Seeker Agent changes what a job alert is. Instead of a to-do item, it becomes raw input to a pipeline that works while you don't.
Forwarded to a private address, or read from one Gmail label you control.
The complete description is scraped from the source and structured — not the two-line teaser.
Against a rubric built from an interview about you — shortlisted, flagged borderline, or archived with the reason logged.
One click tailors your resume and cover letter — created in your own Google Drive.
Junk never reaches you. Roles below your bar are archived automatically, with the reasoning logged. Borderline calls are kept and flagged, so a scoring miss never silently costs you an opportunity. What lands in front of you each morning — on the dashboard or in a daily email digest — is a short, ranked list of roles worth your attention, each with a plain-English explanation of its score.
From hours of daily triage and blind applications, to minutes of informed decisions — with a permanent, scored record of your entire search.
How it works
Setup is one guided conversation and one forwarding rule. From there, the pipeline runs on its own — you review and decide.
A conversational onboarding interview — paste your resume, answer questions about what makes work satisfying for you, and Scout writes your personal scoring rubric. You calibrate your thresholds against a sample scored job and confirm the title filters it suggests. No prompt engineering required.
Set your existing Seek and LinkedIn alerts to forward to your private Job Seeker Agent address, or apply a Gmail label. Guided setup handles the awkward parts, including Gmail's forwarding verification.
Each incoming job is scraped in full, structured, scored 0–100 against your rubric, and either shortlisted, flagged borderline, or archived with its reasoning logged.
Each morning's digest — or the dashboard, whenever you open it — shows only the roles above your bar, ranked, each with an explanation of its score.
For a role you want, run the resume match to see your screening odds and exact gaps, then click once to generate a tailored resume and cover letter in your Google Drive. Mark it applied, and the record keeps itself.
Meet Scout
Alert filters match titles; this matches you. Scout, the onboarding assistant, interviews you about your preferences — then writes your personal scoring rubric for you. Every job is scored against it, with reasoning you can read.
Beyond title and salary — what makes a role genuinely satisfying for you?
Real product ownership, a small senior team, hybrid in Sydney. I'd trade salary for autonomy.
Noted. How should I treat roles that are heavy on delivery management but light on discovery?
Score them down — that's exactly the pattern I want to avoid.
Calibrated against a sample scored job. Editable any time — each edit creates a new version.
Two honest numbers
They answer different questions — so a great-fit job with a weak resume match tells you to fix the resume, not skip the job.
“Would I be satisfied in this role?”
Scored against your personal rubric — the one Scout wrote from your interview, not a keyword checklist. Every score is a 0–100 number with a per-job breakdown, so “fit” stops being a gut feeling and becomes something you can compare, sort and track.
Genuine ownership of a single product line, senior team of six, hybrid Sydney. Loses points on limited discovery budget in the first quarter.
“Would my resume pass screening for this ad?”
A screening-style evaluation of your resume against this specific ad: hard requirements first — miss one and the score is capped — then evidence, keyword coverage, and seniority alignment. Every gap is labelled honestly.
You stop wasting applications on roles you'd never clear, and stop under-selling yourself on ones you would. A concrete screening score plus a named list of fixes, per job, before you invest an evening in an application. How are the two scores different? →
The honesty rule
Resume and cover-letter generation runs under a strict honesty rule that outranks every other instruction — including yours. If a job wants experience you don't have, the gap analysis tells you it's a real gap; it is never written around or filled in. Tailoring fatigue is why good candidates send generic applications — this removes the hours without the risk.
Will the AI invent things on my resume? →Features
Forward your Seek and LinkedIn alerts to a private address — or let it poll a single Gmail label. Every alert is parsed into individual job records automatically; even Gmail's fiddly forwarding-verification step is intercepted and handled for you.
Zero manual entry, and your inbox stays private.
Every job is scraped from the source and cleaned into structured details — location, work arrangement, employment type, seniority, salary where listed.
You evaluate real information, and so does the scoring.
Every job scored 0–100 against your rubric, with a written explanation and breakdown — audit any decision the system makes, and override it with one click.
Ranking you can trust because you can see the working.
Roles below your threshold are archived before they reach you; near-misses are kept and flagged as borderline. You set both thresholds yourself, calibrated against a sample scored job.
A clean dashboard without the fear of a false negative. What if it gets one wrong? →
Hard requirements checked first — miss one and the score is capped — then evidence, keyword coverage, and seniority alignment. Every gap labelled a quick fix or a real gap.
Apply where you'll clear screening; fix what's fixable first.
Your master Google Doc template, duplicated and filled for a specific job, plus a cover letter in your configured tone — created in your Drive, editable and yours.
Hours per application recovered, with your integrity intact. Never fabricated →
Every edit to your match profile creates a new version; unreviewed jobs are re-scored against it on demand. Jobs you've already actioned keep the scores they were judged by.
Your pipeline evolves with you, without corrupting your history.
The same role from different alerts or days is flagged as a possible duplicate — never silently deleted. You confirm or dismiss.
You never apply to the same job twice.
Found a role outside your alerts? Paste the Seek or LinkedIn URL and the full pipeline — scrape, enrich, score — runs on it.
Ad-hoc finds get the same treatment as everything else.
Locked and custom saved views, keyboard shortcuts, a command palette, favourites, and a per-job panel with score breakdown, resume tools, full description and a complete activity trail.
The daily review takes minutes, on any of your devices.
At 8:00am Sydney time, newly shortlisted roles from the last 24 hours arrive by email, sorted by score.
Triage from your phone without logging in.
Every AI call is logged with its purpose and token usage, and a daily analysis cap keeps costs bounded.
No mystery about what the AI is doing or what it costs to run.
Integrations
The integration philosophy is deliberate — plug into what you already have, ask for the minimum access that works, and keep your documents in your own accounts rather than on someone else's servers.
The inputs. Job Seeker Agent sits on top of the alert emails you already receive — there's nothing new to configure on the job boards themselves. Any other role can be added by pasting its URL.
Access is limited to a single label you create; the product reads alert emails under that label and marks them read. Prefer no inbox access at all? Use the private forwarding address instead.
Where your tailored documents are created — using Google's narrowest Drive permission, which can only touch files the app itself creates or that you explicitly open with it. It cannot see the rest of your Drive.
Authentication. No separate password to manage.
The AI behind scoring, resume evaluation and document generation. Every call is logged and visible to you.
Security & trust
Drive access uses Google's most restricted scope — the app can only see files it creates or that you open with it. Gmail access, if you choose that path at all, is limited to a single label. The forwarding-address option requires no inbox access whatsoever.
Tailored resumes and cover letters are created directly in your Google Drive. They are not hosted, mirrored or retained on a third-party document service.
Generation operates under a rule hierarchy in which truthfulness outranks every other instruction — including the user's own. Real gaps are surfaced, never papered over.
Scores come with reasoning; every job has an activity trail; every AI call is logged with its purpose and usage; settings changes are versioned and restorable.
All data is scoped to your account, sessions are revocable server-side, and product analytics contain no personal information.
A hard daily cap bounds AI analysis per account, and a self-protective error system pauses processing rather than letting failures run away.
FAQ
No. The recommended setup is a private forwarding address — you add a forwarding rule in your email settings, and Job Seeker Agent never has any access to your inbox. If you prefer Gmail integration, access is limited to a single label you create; the app reads alert emails under that label and marks them as read. Nothing else.
No, and it never will by design. Job Seeker Agent deliberately stops at decision support: it filters, scores, explains and prepares your documents. You decide where to apply, and you press the button. Your judgement stays in the loop.
No. Generation runs under a strict honesty rule that overrides every other instruction — including your own. If a job wants experience you don't have, the gap analysis tells you it's a real gap; it is never written around or filled in.
Seek and LinkedIn alert emails are parsed automatically. Any other job — from any site — can be added by pasting its URL, and it goes through the same scrape, score and shortlist pipeline.
It's built Australia-first: Seek support, Australian English, Sydney-timezone digests. If your search is elsewhere, LinkedIn alerts and manual URLs still work, but the product is tuned for the Australian market today.
During onboarding, Scout — the setup assistant — interviews you about your preferences and writes a personal scoring rubric from your answers. Every job is scored 0–100 against that rubric, with written reasoning per job. You calibrate the thresholds yourself against a sample scored job.
Two safety nets. First, near-miss roles aren't archived — they're shortlisted and flagged as borderline so you can make the call. Second, every score shows its reasoning, and you can overrule any decision: shortlist an archived job, archive a shortlisted one, favourite anything.
Nothing is deleted. Auto-archived roles stay in your Archived view with the reason logged — below your threshold, or matched an ignore filter — so you can always audit what was filtered and why.
No. Edit your match profile at any time — each edit creates a new version, and you can re-score your unreviewed jobs against it in one action. Jobs you've already applied to or archived keep their original scores, so your history stays honest.
They answer different questions. The fit score asks “would I be satisfied in this role?” — scored against your personal rubric. The resume match asks “would my resume pass screening for this specific ad?” — checking hard requirements, evidence for the role's responsibilities, keyword coverage and seniority alignment, and listing exactly what to fix. Two honest numbers, so a great-fit job with a weak resume match tells you to fix the resume, not skip the job.
In your own Google Drive, in a folder you choose, built from your own master template. Job Seeker Agent uses Google's narrowest Drive permission — it can only touch files it creates or that you explicitly open with it. Connecting Drive is optional; every other feature works without it.
Every AI call is logged with its purpose and usage, and a hard daily cap bounds how many analyses can run per day. There are no hidden or unbounded AI costs.
Each job has a self-service retry — one click re-runs the scrape, extraction and scoring for that job. Failures are logged and retried with backoff automatically before you ever need to intervene.
The pipeline compares incoming jobs against your existing ones and flags likely duplicates for you to confirm or dismiss. Flagged, never silently deleted — you stay in control.
One guided conversation. Scout walks you through pasting your resume, the preference interview, threshold calibration, title filters and connecting your alerts — including intercepting Gmail's forwarding-verification email so you don't have to hunt for it. Connecting Google Drive is optional and can be done later.
