I'm a test automation engineer with ~12 years in Java/Selenium/Playwright. Last year I went back on the job market — 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 — "is this even worth applying to?" — falls entirely on you, the person with the least time.

So I built the thing I wanted: ** Shashiworks** — 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](https://www.shashiworks.com/search.html) 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](https://www.shashiworks.com/resume.html). You paste a job description, it scores your resume against it (ATS-style), tells you which keywords/requirements you're missing, and the [rewriter](https://www.shashiworks.com/fix-resume.html) helps you close the gap without keyword-stuffing nonsense.

There's also a [LinkedIn profile builder](https://www.shashiworks.com/linkedin-profile-builder.html) for the headline/summary, because that's the other thing recruiters actually read.

If you're job-hunting right now, try it — 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 — drop it in the comments. 👇
