# Freehire: open-source search for ai careers across 3M+ company career boards > Source: > Published: 2026-10-26 05:16:29+00:00 # Freehire: open-source search for ai careers across 3M+ company career boards The most time-consuming part of a job search is often not writing the resume. It is finding the roles worth applying to in the first place. Listings are scattered across company career pages, and checking them one by one is slow and easy to get wrong. Freehire, a project recently shared on Hacker News, takes an open-source approach to that problem: it is a filterable job board aggregator, a job tracker, and an AI-assisted resume tailoring tool, pulling together 3M+ tech jobs from company career boards. *Illustrative photo · [Artem Podrez](https://www.pexels.com/photo/peoplehavingameetingattheoffice8518816/) / Pexels* Its workflow differs from a typical aggregator. Instead of handing you a fixed list and letting you filter afterwards, it starts by asking you to save your skills and preferences, and those inputs shape both which jobs appear and how your resume gets tailored. The filter is not an afterthought; it participates in generating the results. That design rewards jobseekers who know what they want: the more specific the profile, the more relevant the matches and the sharper the resume suggestions. For someone still spraying applications everywhere, it first demands a clearer target. The open-source character matters too. The author notes having looked at many similar solutions over the years and finding it hard to get the right mix of tools in an open-source offering. He has since contributed to a few issues and worked closely with the maintainer, watching the project evolve over the last few months until it felt ready for everyone to check out and stress test. For jobseekers, open source means the rules are relatively transparent: the repository at github.com/strelov1/freehire shows how it filters and tailors. It also means the tool is still evolving, so features and coverage will keep changing. In practice, three habits make it useful. First, fill in skills and preferences completely, since everything downstream depends on that profile. Second, use the tracker to manage application progress instead of juggling tabs across many career pages, which is where duplicate applications and missed follow-ups usually happen. Third, treat the AI-tailored resume as a first draft, not a finished product: check every fact and phrasing yourself before sending. An aggregator can save the time spent finding roles, but it cannot judge fit for you, and confirming the role status and requirements on the company career page before applying remains necessary. Freehire is worth trying for tech jobseekers pursuing ai careers who want finding roles, tracking progress, and tailoring resumes in one open place. It will not solve the whole search on its own. A clear target, a carefully reviewed resume, and direct verification against the employer posting are still the parts that matter most, and no tool changes that.
