I built a free AI job search that ranks real listings by your resume fit

A test automation engineer built Shashiworks, a free AI job search tool that ranks real listings by resume fit. The platform also includes an AI resume optimizer that scores resumes against job descriptions and identifies missing keywords. The tool aims to reduce the job search loop from scrolling hundreds of listings to focusing on top-ranked matches.

I'm a test automation engineer with ~12 years in Java/Selenium/Playwright. Last year I went back on the job market β€” and I was reminded how genuinely bad the job-search loop is.

You open LinkedIn/Indeed/Naukri, scroll 200 listings, and maybe 5 are actually a fit. Then for each of those 5 you re-tailor your resume, guess at the ATS keywords, and fire it into the void. The filtering work β€” "is this even worth applying to?" β€” falls entirely on you, the person with the least time.

So I built the thing I wanted: ** Shashiworks** β€” a free job search that pulls real, live listings and

A keyword search gives you everything containing "automation engineer." Useless. What I actually wanted was: given my resume, sort these openings by how likely I am to clear the screen.

So the live search does three things: It turns "scroll 200, apply to 30, hear back from 1" into "look at the top 10 ranked, fix the 2 gaps, apply to 5 good ones."

The other half is the AI Resume Optimizer. You paste a job description, it scores your resume against it (ATS-style), tells you which keywords/requirements you're missing, and the rewriter helps you close the gap without keyword-stuffing nonsense.

There's also a LinkedIn profile builder for the headline/summary, because that's the other thing recruiters actually read.

If you're job-hunting right now, try it β€” upload a resume, run a search, and see your top-ranked matches: ** shashiworks.com**. Feedback from devs especially is gold; tell me where the ranking gets it wrong and I'll tune it. What does your ideal job-search tool do that nothing on the market does today? Genuinely curious β€” drop it in the comments. πŸ‘‡
