I Built an AI job search assistant that works

Hey HN, I'm Serdar, and after getting laid off, I found myself drowning in job applications. LinkedIn, Dice, Otta and company websites were exhausting and demoralizing. That's why my friend and I created Wobo (wobo.ai) – an AI recruiter that automates the entire process. But Wobo goes beyond just matching keywords on your resume. We use LLMs and a series of specialized questions to create a detailed "persona" of you, capturing not just your skills and experience, but also your personality and how you approach different situations. Here's how Wobo works: Gets to know you: We analyze your responses to reveal your work style, how you handle challenges, and what motivates you. We find jobs that fit YOU: We go beyond basic skills matching to find jobs that really fit your personality and preferences. We even use a "similarity score" to see how well a job matches your profile. If it's not a good fit, we won't apply Application questions: Wobo uses your "persona" to answer those personality-revealing questions in a way that showcases your best self. We've been developing Wobo for over two years and have 14,000+ users. One user recently told us that Wobo gave him back the time to spend with his daughter – that's exactly the kind of impact we're hoping to make. Think of Wobo as your personal job search assistant, working tirelessly in the background so you can focus on what matters most. Have questions about Wobo? Ask me anything! I'm happy to answer them.
