Have you heard of "kiting" before? Kiter seems like a great name in this context, having job prospects predictably chasing you rather than you hopelessly chasing them.

Good points. We are both avid kite surfers so did some word magic to come up with Kiter. We also wanted to emulate the image of having a string from your kite so you can have control. A tether from the traditional spray and pray method of applications to something grounded. But being a word wasn't high on our criteria list. For example Uber and Spanx both aren't words.

If you can imagine the job hunt as an exciting experiment it might unlock new approaches.

As a non native english speaker, the name is perfectly fine. It's in the line of "er" names: twitter, tumblr, flickr. I'm glad they went with "Kiter" and not "Kitr".

"kiting" in the context of video games means continuously moving in and out of range of an enemy in order to hit it and and avoid being hit yourself.
