Watch the job boards of the companies you care about and get a short, ranked digest of **new** roles that
|
|
36
|
+
match you, optionally fit-scored against your resume. jobwatch finds and ranks. It never applies for you.

```
|
|

## Why company boards
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
Most tech companies post jobs through Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable, and most large employers through
|
|
57
|
+
Workday (some through Eightfold). Each publishes open roles as public JSON so anyone can build a careers page, with
|
|
58
|
+
no API key or scraping. jobwatch reads those feeds for the companies on your watchlist:
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
- **Complete and fresh:** a role appears as soon as the company posts it, not when an aggregator picks it up.
|
|
61
|
+
- **Pay ranges:** read from the board's structured fields where they exist (Lever, Ashby), otherwise from
|
|
62
|
+
the posting text.
|
|
63
|
+
- **Polite:** one request per company per run on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workable. A Workday or Eightfold board can
|
|
64
|
+
list thousands of roles, most of them nothing like yours, so jobwatch searches it for your
|
|
65
|
+
`filters.titles` words and reads a posting in full only when its title passes your title filters, once:
|
|
66
|
+
after that, a run costs a few searches per company. Titles written as regexes can't be searched for, so
|
|
67
|
+
keep a plain word or two ("engineer", "forward deployed") among them.
|
|
68
|
+
- **Within the rules:** it reads public APIs meant for this. It doesn't scrape LinkedIn or Indeed, which
|
|
69
|
+
forbid it.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
## Install
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
pip install jobwatch # discovery, filters, digest
|
|
75
|
+
pip install 'jobwatch[score]' # + fit scores with shortlist-ai (Claude API)
|
|
76
|
+
pip install 'jobwatch[local]' # + fit scores on-device (Apple Silicon, MLX)
|
|
77
|
+
pip install 'jobwatch[mcp]' # + MCP server for Claude and other assistants
|
|
78
|
+
```
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
## Quick start
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
### In your browser
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
```
|
|
85
|
+
pipx install jobwatch # or: pip install jobwatch
|
|
86
|
+
jobwatch ui
|
|
87
|
+
```
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
A page opens on your computer. Add the companies you want to watch (type a name or paste a link to one of
|
|
90
|
+
their jobs), say what you're looking for, and press **Check for new jobs**. From there:
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
- **Today:** new matching jobs, with pay, how long ago they were posted, keywords, and who you know there.
|
|
93
|
+
**Queue** the ones worth applying to, **Skip** the rest.
|
|
94
|
+
- **Queue:** your short list. Apply on the company's site, then press **I applied**.
|
|
95
|
+
- Long lists come in pages (12, 24, 48 or 96 at a time, kept per browser).
|
|
96
|
+
- **Applications:** every job you applied to and where it stands (applied, screening, interviewing, offer,
|
|
97
|
+
rejected, withdrawn), with the next step and a follow-up day. Those due come first. Filter by status with
|
|
98
|
+
the chips over the list (or click the pipeline bar), and switch between **Cards** and a sortable **Table**.
|
|
99
|
+
**Add an application** covers jobs you found elsewhere, such as a referral or a recruiter.
|
|
100
|
+
- **Settings:** companies, filters, keywords, your resume (for fit scores), your LinkedIn connections, and the
|
|
101
|
+
page's theme (system, light or dark) and width (standard, wide or full, for a big monitor).
|
|
102
|
+
- **Ask jobwatch:** a chat on Today (about all of today's jobs and your applications) and beside each job's
|
|
103
|
+
details (about that posting). See [Chat](#chat).
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
The page only talks to jobwatch on your own machine. The one exception is a model you choose: with
|
|
106
|
+
`scoring.backend: claude`, fit scores and chat send the posting and your resume to Anthropic. It's the same
|
|
107
|
+
watchlist file and history as the command line, so you can switch between the two.
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
To have the page always there, even after a restart, on a Mac:
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
```
|
|
112
|
+
jobwatch service install # starts jobwatch ui when you log in, and again if it stops
|
|
113
|
+
jobwatch service status # running? where's the log?
|
|
114
|
+
jobwatch service uninstall
|
|
115
|
+
```
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
A login item doesn't see variables set in your shell profile, so with `scoring.backend: claude` the page's
|
|
118
|
+
chat and scores need `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` given to launchd (`launchctl setenv ANTHROPIC_API_KEY ...`), or
|
|
119
|
+
run `jobwatch ui` from a terminal instead. The local backend needs nothing.
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
### On the command line
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
```
|
|
124
|
+
jobwatch init # writes an example jobwatch.yaml
|
|
125
|
+
jobwatch find "Anthropic" "Scale AI" # find each company's board
|
|
126
|
+
jobwatch find https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/4f1c2a9e-... # or paste any job link
|
|
127
|
+
```
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
`find` prints a line like `Anthropic: greenhouse:anthropic (627 open roles)`. For a Workday company it tries
|
|
130
|
+
the usual site names; if that finds nothing, paste a job link from their careers site (it has
|
|
131
|
+
`myworkdayjobs.com` in it) and `find` reads the board from it: `workday:nvidia.wd5/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite`. Add those
|
|
132
|
+
entries under `companies:`, adjust the filters, then:
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
jobwatch run # fetch every board, then show the digest
|
|
136
|
+
```
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
Run it daily, for example from cron: `0 8 * * * jobwatch run -o ~/jobs-today.md`.

Relative paths are resolved from the watchlist's folder. State (which jobs you've seen, applied to or
|
|
178
|
+
skipped, and their scores) lives in one SQLite file, by default `~/.local/share/jobwatch/state.db`.
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
### How locations match
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
A posting can list several places (`London, UK; Remote-Friendly, United States; Austin, TX`), and each one
|
|
183
|
+
is checked:
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
- `remote` matches a place that says remote and is in `remote_country`, or says only "Remote". It also
|
|
186
|
+
matches a posting whose own remote flag is set and that lists a US location.
|
|
187
|
+
- Any other entry matches as text, so `Denver` matches `Denver, CO, United States`.
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
## Fit scores
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
Keyword relevance is fast and explainable, but it can't tell "uses Kubernetes" from "5+ years running
|
|
192
|
+
Kubernetes in production". With `resume:` set and `scoring.top` (or `--score N`), the most relevant new
|
|
193
|
+
jobs are scored with [shortlist-ai](https://github.com/vinayvobbili/shortlist-ai):
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
1. It turns the posting into must-have and nice-to-have requirements.
|
|
196
|
+
2. It judges each requirement against your resume, with quotes it checks against the resume text.
|
|
197
|
+
3. It lists the must-haves the resume doesn't show.
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
Scores are stored per resume file content, so each job is scored once, and again only after you edit your
|
|
200
|
+
resume. The local backend takes minutes per job, so keep `top` small.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
## Chat
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
Ask questions in plain words: "which three should I apply to first?", "what follow-ups are due?", "how well
|
|
205
|
+
do I fit this one, honestly?", "what will they ask in interviews?". The chat uses the model you set for fit
|
|
206
|
+
scores:
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
- `scoring.backend: local`: the same on-device model as scoring (`pip install 'jobwatch[local]'`). Nothing
|
|
209
|
+
leaves your computer. The first answer waits for the model to load.
|
|
210
|
+
- `scoring.backend: claude`: Claude Sonnet via Anthropic's API (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`). Your question, your resume
|
|
211
|
+
and the jobs it's about are sent to Anthropic.
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
It reads today's matching jobs and your applications, or one posting with its fit score and
|
|
214
|
+
[what you sent](#what-you-sent), plus your resume (the one you sent for that job, when it's kept).
|
|
215
|
+
It's told to use only your resume for facts about you and to treat posting text as data, not instructions.
|
|
216
|
+
It has no tools, so it can't change, apply for or send anything. The same thing works from the terminal:
|
|
217
|
+
|
|
218
|
+
```
|
|
219
|
+
jobwatch ask "What follow-ups are due this week?"
|
|
220
|
+
jobwatch ask --job c1 "What should my resume lead with for this one?"
|
|
221
|
+
```
|
|
222
|
+
|
|
223
|
+
## Skills to build
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
Which skills do the jobs you're going after ask for that your resume doesn't show, and where can you learn
|
|
226
|
+
them in the time you have?
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
```
|
|
229
|
+
jobwatch skills # gaps across today's matches and your applications
|
|
230
|
+
jobwatch skills --timeline month # week, month, quarter (default) or any
|
|
231
|
+
jobwatch skills --all # also the skills your resume already shows
|
|
232
|
+
```
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
Skills are ranked by demand: how many of your matching jobs mention one, with a must-have that a fit score
|
|
235
|
+
found missing counting three times. Each comes with:
|
|
236
|
+
- curated courses and certifications from the official pages (AWS, Linux Foundation, DeepLearning.AI,
|
|
237
|
+
Hugging Face, OWASP...), each with a rough time and marked if it's longer than your timeline;
|
|
238
|
+
- searches on LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, edX and, for AI skills, DeepLearning.AI;
|
|
239
|
+
- with a timeline of a quarter or more, certificate programs at colleges near you.
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
Fit-score gaps no course closes (a clearance, citizenship, a degree, travel) are listed apart, and so are
|
|
242
|
+
must-haves asking for years of something: a course gives you something concrete to point to, not the years.
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
```yaml
|
|
245
|
+
learning:
|
|
246
|
+
timeline: quarter # week, month, quarter or any
|
|
247
|
+
near: Denver # for colleges nearby; default: the first city in filters.locations
|
|
248
|
+
```
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
The chat knows the top gaps too ("what should I learn this month?"), and a job's details list the skills
|
|
251
|
+
that posting asks for that your resume doesn't show.
|
|
252
|
+
|
|
253
|
+
## The apply queue
|
|
254
|
+
|
|
255
|
+
Pick the roles worth a tailored application from the digest and queue them. Work through the queue when
|
|
256
|
+
you have time:
|
|
257
|
+
|
|
258
|
+
```
|
|
259
|
+
jobwatch queue c1 aaaa-1111 --note "ask for a referral first" # add (the posting id is enough)
|
|
260
|
+
jobwatch queue # what to apply to next, oldest first
|
|
261
|
+
jobwatch show aaaa-1111 # full posting text: for tailoring a resume
|
|
262
|
+
jobwatch mark applied aaaa-1111 --note "referred by a friend" # after you submit
|
|
263
|
+
jobwatch mark skipped greenhouse:acme:102
|
|
264
|
+
jobwatch list --status applied
|
|
265
|
+
```
|
|
266
|
+
|
|
267
|
+
Queued jobs leave the digest. The queue flags any posting that has since closed.
|
|
268
|
+
|
|
269
|
+
### Jobs you found somewhere else
|
|
270
|
+
|
|
271
|
+
A job from LinkedIn, a job-alert email or a friend goes in the queue with its link. When the link is to a
|
|
272
|
+
posting on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable or Workday, jobwatch reads the posting from there, so it can be
|
|
273
|
+
fit-scored and prepped for like any other, even if you don't watch that company. For anything else (LinkedIn,
|
|
274
|
+
a company's own site), give the company and title and paste the posting's text:
|
|
275
|
+
|
|
276
|
+
```
|
|
277
|
+
jobwatch add https://apply.workable.com/acme/j/A1B2C3D4E5/ --status queued
|
|
278
|
+
jobwatch add "Umbrella" "Staff Engineer" --url https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/... --text posting.txt --status queued
|
|
279
|
+
pbpaste | jobwatch add "Umbrella" "Staff Engineer" --text - --status queued # the posting from the clipboard
|
|
280
|
+
```
|
|
281
|
+
|
|
282
|
+
In the browser, press **Add a job** on the Queue page. Many job sites (LinkedIn's "Apply on company
|
|
283
|
+
website", job-alert emails) link through to the company's own board: that link is the one to use.
|
|
284
|
+
|
|
285
|
+
## Tracking applications
|
|
286
|
+
|
|
287
|
+
An application moves through stages: `applied`, `screening`, `interviewing`, `offer`, and then `rejected`
|
|
288
|
+
or `withdrawn`. Each can have a next step and a day to follow up. Jobs you found somewhere jobwatch doesn't
|
|
289
|
+
watch (a referral, a recruiter, LinkedIn) go in with `add`, so every application is in one list:
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
```
|
|
292
|
+
jobwatch add "Umbrella" "Principal Engineer" --url https://... --on 2026-09-14 --note "via a recruiter"
|
|
293
|
+
jobwatch add https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/acme/jobs/101 --on 2026-09-20 # read from the link
|
|
294
|
+
jobwatch mark screening c1 --next "technical round" --follow-up +7 # or a date: 2026-10-05
|
|
295
|
+
jobwatch mark rejected principal-engineer
|
|
296
|
+
jobwatch mark withdrawn c1 --add-note "recruiter says onsite only" # adds a dated line; --note replaces
|
|
297
|
+
jobwatch applications # every application, follow-ups due first (alias: apps)
|
|
298
|
+
jobwatch applications --due # only the ones to act on today
|
|
299
|
+
```
|
|
300
|
+
|
|
301
|
+
The day you applied is kept as an application moves through the stages. `--next ""` or `--follow-up ""`
|
|
302
|
+
clears a field.
|
|
303
|
+
|
|
304
|
+
Every company on Workday has its own careers site with its own sign-in, so after a few applications it's hard
|
|
305
|
+
to remember where each one lives. For a Workday application, `jobwatch show`, `jobwatch applications` and
|
|
306
|
+
the job's **Details** link that company's candidate page (`.../userHome`), where you sign in to see its
|
|
307
|
+
status. jobwatch keeps only the link, never a login or password: your password manager saves each company's
|
|
308
|
+
login under that company's own address. For one you added by hand whose posting has since come down, give
|
|
309
|
+
it the company's careers site (`jobwatch mark <stage> <key> --url https://acme.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers`)
|
|
310
|
+
and the page link follows.
|
|
311
|
+
|
|
312
|
+
### What you sent
|
|
313
|
+
|
|
314
|
+
Each application keeps what you submitted, as copies:
|
|
315
|
+
- the resume and cover letter exactly as uploaded;
|
|
316
|
+
- the answers you gave on the form (salary expectation, why this company, notice period...);
|
|
317
|
+
- the posting as it read the day you applied.
|
|
318
|
+
|
|
319
|
+
Tailored resumes get rebuilt and postings change or come down. When a recruiter calls three weeks later,
|
|
320
|
+
this is what they're looking at. The chat reads it too, so "prep me for the recruiter call" works from
|
|
321
|
+
what you actually told them.
|
|
322
|
+
|
|
323
|
+
In the browser, open an application's **Details** and drop files into **What you sent**. From the command
|
|
324
|
+
line:
|
|
325
|
+
|
|
326
|
+
```
|
|
327
|
+
jobwatch mark applied c1 --attach ~/Downloads/Resume_Initech.pdf
|
|
328
|
+
jobwatch attach c1 cover-letter.pdf --answers answers.yaml # answers.yaml: "Why Initech?: ..." pairs
|
|
329
|
+
jobwatch package c1 # show it
|
|
330
|
+
```
|
|
331
|
+
|
|
332
|
+
Packages live in `packages/<job>/` next to the state file. Removing a file moves it to `.removed/` there
|
|
333
|
+
rather than deleting it.
|
|
334
|
+
|
|
335
|
+
### Prep sheets
|
|
336
|
+
|
|
337
|
+
Before a recruiter call or an interview, open the application's **Details** and press **Prep sheet** (or run
|
|
338
|
+
`jobwatch prep c1`). One page, ready to print, with:
|
|
339
|
+
- the stage, next step and your notes;
|
|
340
|
+
- each requirement and responsibility in the posting, next to the line on your resume closest to it (the
|
|
341
|
+
resume you sent, if you kept it), or a plain "nothing close" so you can prepare a story or an honest answer;
|
|
342
|
+
- skills they ask for that your resume doesn't show, with the fit score's missing must-haves;
|
|
343
|
+
- what you sent;
|
|
344
|
+
- questions to expect and questions to ask, for a screen or for interviews.
|
|
345
|
+
|
|
346
|
+
Nothing on it is written for you: it quotes the posting and your resume. For an application you added by hand,
|
|
347
|
+
jobwatch looks for the posting on your watched boards by the requisition id in its title (`R0123456`,
|
|
348
|
+
`REQ-4711`, `Job 20769`), so a Workday posting fetched later fills in the sheet.
|
|
349
|
+
|
|
350
|
+
## Who you know there
|
|
351
|
+
|
|
352
|
+
A referral gets read before an application does. Download your LinkedIn data (Settings → Data privacy →
|
|
353
|
+
Get a copy of your data) and upload the archive in `jobwatch ui`, or point `connections:` at the .zip or
|
|
354
|
+
at its Connections.csv. Each digest and queue entry then lists your connections who work there:
|
|
355
|
+
|
|
356
|
+
```
|
|
357
|
+
You know: Ana Li (Staff Engineer) [messaged 14×, last 2025-03-02]; Bo Chen (Recruiter)
|
|
358
|
+
```
|
|
359
|
+
|
|
360
|
+
With the full archive, people you actually talk to come first. jobwatch counts the messages you exchanged,
|
|
361
|
+
recommendations and endorsements, so a close colleague ranks above someone who only accepted a connection
|
|
362
|
+
request. Only those counts are kept, never your messages. When you know nobody at a company, the page links
|
|
363
|
+
to a LinkedIn search of your 2nd-degree network there, to find someone who can introduce you.
|
|
364
|
+
|
|
365
|
+
Companies are matched by name, ignoring suffixes like "Inc." and "Corporation". Your LinkedIn data is only
|
|
366
|
+
read on your machine.
|
|
367
|
+
|
|
368
|
+
A digest lists each job once. Use `digest --all` to include jobs already shown, or `--peek` to look without
|
|
369
|
+
marking them shown. Roles that disappear from a board are marked closed.
|
|
370
|
+
|
|
371
|
+
## MCP server
|
|
372
|
+
|
|
373
|
+
`jobwatch-mcp` offers `find_board`, `fetch_jobs`, `digest`, `job_details`, `mark_job`, `apply_queue`,
|
|
374
|
+
`add_application`, `applications`, `save_application_package`, `application_package`, `interview_prep`,
|
|
375
|
+
`skill_gaps` and `list_jobs` to Claude Code or any MCP client. The watchlist comes
|
|
376
|
+
from `JOBWATCH_CONFIG`:
|
|
377
|
+
|
|
378
|
+
```
|
|
379
|
+
claude mcp add jobwatch -s user -e JOBWATCH_CONFIG=~/jobwatch.yaml -- jobwatch-mcp
|
|
380
|
+
```
|
|
381
|
+
|
|
382
|
+
With a resume tool alongside it (for example [resume-kit](https://github.com/vinayvobbili/resume-kit), whose
|
|
383
|
+
`resume draft` starts a tailored version from a posting), an assistant can work through your queue: read
|
|
384
|
+
the posting, tailor the resume from facts you've confirmed, check for a referral, and fill in the
|
|
385

## Why it doesn't auto-apply
|
|
388
|
+
|
|
389
|
+
Tools that auto-apply to hundreds of jobs make the process worse for everyone and rarely work for the
|
|
390
|
+
person using them:
|
|
391
|
+
|
|
392
|
+
- Recruiters recognize mass applications.
|
|
393
|
+
- Some companies cap how many roles one person can apply to.
|
|
394
|
+
- Application forms ask legal questions (work authorization, export control, signatures) that you answer
|
|
395
|
+
yourself.
|
|
396
|
+
|
|
397
|
+
jobwatch's job is to make sure you never miss a role worth applying to, and to spend your time on those.

## Development
|
|
400
|
+
|
|
401
|
+
```
|
|
402
|
+
python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e '.[dev,mcp]'
|
|
403
|
+
.venv/bin/ruff check . && .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q
|
|
404
|
+
```
|
|
405
|
+
|
|
406
|
+
Tests use canned board responses and never touch the network, except the check that every curated course
|
|
407
|
+
link still resolves: `JOBWATCH_LINK_TESTS=1 pytest tests/test_learn.py`. To see how `jobwatch ui` looks after a change,
|
|
408
|
+
`scripts/screenshots.py` captures every tab in light and dark, at wide, desktop and phone widths, plus the
|
|
409
|
+
chat with a canned reply (it needs
|
|
410
|
+
`pip install playwright && python -m playwright install chromium`).
