Thanks! Please let me know if there is anything you want added
You are corrected. Who has the time to create fake accounts on this?! Traffic is too low and its a pretty lame thing to do, but believe what ever you want to.
Not at this stage sorry, only for US. It takes a fair bit of work to filter by country. Maybe if there is a little more demand.
Thanks! Not in this version, but I'm building a version which incorporates social media feeds as well.

Show HN: Looking for work is a full time job – So I created this tool

https://www.resumevue.com/boardFor anyone currently stuck in the grind of endlessly applying for jobs, I completely understand your frustration. I’ve been job hunting for the past four months, and it’s been painfully repetitive and time-consuming. Applying via LinkedIn often feels like throwing your resume into a sea of 1,000+ other applicants, even with daily alerts turned on.What worked...

Hi, I'm a product manager, Microsoft Alumni and founder - I've scaled two prior startups, one of which I successfully exited back in Australia before moving to NYC. I have extensive experience in scaling and managing teams, working with high-caliber developers, GTM, customer-centric roadmaps and feature prioritization. The last few years I've mainly focused on building LLM/AI B2B applications. Looking to join a great team working on exciting products. Thanks.

Thats sad and hilarious at the same time. Agree, I feel HR KPIs are based on number of applicants Vs quality or finding the right one

No its not. I created the post - See my comments and replies

I started the thread - Not click bait at all. If you read my comment you can see what I built etc. But, yes its got some traction, seems people are pretty fired up (me included) about the state of the job market and just how hard it is to land a interview let alone a offer

From what I've seen I don't think there is a lot of 'exclusivity' of job posting on one platform or another, perhaps timing of jobs going live...

I suggest setting up the daily alerts on LinkedIn with your role title, doing the same for Indeed as well. I check BuildIn as well every few days just for good measure as they claim to have good hiring rates for tech.

Also see if there is any value in what I've built as well.

Thanks, not really trying to do that, more built it out of frustration. I've heard this can be an advantage in an interview to essentially sell 'look what I built in my down time' etc - Who knows.

Thanks for the heads up - Feels like I'm in for the long haul despite having some solid experience and half decent network behind me!

Its crazy at the moment, you can use bots to just automatically apply. Also the ease of Quick Apply on LinkedIn makes it so simple to just apply and not really consider if your right for the role. I suppose it feels like your making progress but your right it is spamming, I was 100% guilty of this for the first few weeks thinking it would be easy and quick to land a few interviews and offers!

For anyone currently stuck in the grind of endlessly applying for jobs, I completely understand your frustration. I’ve been job hunting for the past three months, and it’s been painfully repetitive and time-consuming. Applying via LinkedIn often feels like throwing your resume into a sea of 1,000+ other applicants, even with daily alerts turned on.

What worked better for me was following founders, recruiters, and other key connections. I’d wait for them to post about roles in their network and apply directly. This strategy landed me a few interviews.

To make this process less manual, I built a tracker that highlights posts from people sharing roles with their private networks. It’s free, so feel free to check it out if you’re in the job market.

I’m also testing video-based applications, which let you track who’s viewing your resume and profile. This feature is paid to help cover server cost. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and hopefully this helps you land a role!
