I have spent years on both sides of the hiring table.
As a hiring manager, I never saw the CVs that did not make it through. The ATS filtered them out before any human ever looked. Some of those people were probably exactly what my team needed. The system was not surfacing the best candidates. It was surfacing the ones who knew how to format a bullet point.
Then I became a candidate.
Same experience, same track record, but now on the other side of the wall. Strong background, wrong keywords, invisible to the algorithm. I understood the problem from the inside. So I built something.
What it does
Job-Agent is a solo project, not a startup. You upload your CV once. The tool extracts your real career evidence and keeps it. When you find a job you want, you paste the description. It scores your profile against the requirements, identifies the gaps, and generates a tailored resume and cover letter built from your actual experience, in the language of the job posting.
I used it for my own applications while building it.
Why it is not free
Job seekers are already in a difficult position. The last thing they need is a tool that treats their data as the product.
Job-Agent charges you honestly. There is a free tier to start. If you want the full experience, you choose how: monthly, annual, or a single 90-day payment for the duration of a job search. No data sold, no profile harvested, no algorithm working against you.
If it is free, you are the product. Job-Agent is not free.
Where your data goes
Nowhere outside Europe. Everything runs on Scaleway infrastructure in Paris: the application, the database, and the AI. The model is Mistral, a French company. No US subprocessors. GDPR by design, not by checkbox.
