Job-Ops

AI-powered job discovery and application pipeline. Automatically finds jobs, scores them against your profile, and generates tailored resumes.

Workflow

1. Search: Scrapes Gradcracker, Indeed, LinkedIn, and UK Visa Sponsorship jobs.
2. Score: AI ranks jobs by suitability using OpenRouter.
3. Tailor: Generates a custom resume summary for top-tier matches.
4. Export: Automates RxResume to create tailored PDFs.
5. Manage: Review and mark jobs as "Applied" via the dashboard (syncs to Notion).

Quick Start

# 1. Setup environment
cp .env.example .env

# 2. Run with Docker
docker compose up -d --build

# 3. Access Dashboard
# http://localhost:3005

Setup

Essential variables in .env:

• OPENROUTER_API_KEY: For job scoring and tailoring.
• RXRESUME_EMAIL/PASSWORD: To automate PDF exports.
• JOBSPY_SEARCH_TERMS: Keywords for Indeed/LinkedIn scraping.

Structure

• /orchestrator: React frontend + Node.js backend & pipeline.
• /extractors: Specialized scrapers (Gradcracker, JobSpy, UKVisaJobs).
• /resume-generator: Python script for RxResume PDF automation.
• /data: Persistent storage for SQLite DB and generated PDFs.

2. Put your exported RXResume JSON at resume-generator/base.json.
3. Start: docker compose up -d --build
4. Open:
   • Dashboard/UI: http://localhost:3005
   • API: http://localhost:3005/api
   • Health: http://localhost:3005/health

Persistent data lives in ./data (bind-mounted into the container).

Running (local dev)

Prereqs: Node 20+, Python 3.10+, Playwright browsers (Firefox).

Install Node deps (both packages):

cd orchestrator && npm install
cd ../extractors/gradcracker && npm install

Configure the orchestrator env + DB:

cd ../orchestrator
cp .env.example .env
npm run db:migrate
npm run dev

Set up the resume generator (used for PDF export):

cd ../resume-generator
python -m venv .venv
# Windows PowerShell:
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
# macOS/Linux:
# source .venv/bin/activate
pip install playwright
python -m playwright install firefox

If you're on Windows, set PYTHON_PATH in orchestrator/.env to your venv python (e.g. ..\resume-generator\.venv\Scripts\python.exe) or use Docker/WSL.

Dev URLs:

• API: http://localhost:3001/api
• UI (Vite): http://localhost:5173

Key endpoints

• Jobs: GET /api/jobs, POST /api/jobs/:id/process, POST /api/jobs/:id/apply, POST /api/jobs/:id/skip, POST /api/jobs/process-discovered
• Pipeline: POST /api/pipeline/run, GET /api/pipeline/status, GET /api/pipeline/progress (SSE)
• Webhook: POST /api/webhook/trigger (optional auth via WEBHOOK_SECRET)
• Ops: DELETE /api/database (wipes DB)

Notes / sharp edges

• Crawl targets: edit extractors/gradcracker/src/main.ts to change the Gradcracker location/role matrix.
• Notion sync is schema-dependent: orchestrator/src/server/services/notion.ts assumes property names; adjust to match your Notion database.
• Pipeline config knobs: POST /api/pipeline/run accepts { topN, minSuitabilityScore }; PIPELINE_TOP_N/PIPELINE_MIN_SCORE are used by npm run pipeline:run (CLI runner).
• Anti-bot reality: crawling is headless + "humanized", but sites can still block; expect occasional flakiness.
