I’m open sourcing JustHireMe 🚀 A local-first Agentic AI desktop app I’ve been building to make job searching more intelligent, transparent, and user-controlled. GitHub: github.com/vasu-devs/justhir… The current job search process is broken. Candidates spend hours scrolling through: stale job posts irrelevant roles spammy listings senior-only positions repeated listings across platforms jobs with almost no useful context And most AI job tools either scrape too broadly, rank opportunities like a black box, or try to automate applications without giving the user enough control. I wanted to build something different. JustHireMe is designed as a personal job intelligence workbench. Instead of blindly applying everywhere, it helps users discover better opportunities, evaluate them against their real profile, and generate tailored application materials while keeping sensitive career data local. What it can do: Ingest resume/profile data Build a local professional profile graph Discover job leads from multiple sources Filter out low-quality or irrelevant postings Score roles based on explainable fit Match jobs using graph vector search Generate tailored resumes Generate cover letters Draft cold emails Draft LinkedIn outreach messages Track leads in a local CRM-style pipeline Keep the user in control through a human-in-the-loop workflow The main principle behind the project is: More signal. More explanation. More local control. Less blind automation. The tech stack: Tauri for the desktop shell React TypeScript for the frontend Python FastAPI for the backend sidecar SQLite for local lead tracking KuzuDB for graph-based profile modeling LanceDB for vector search and semantic matching Playwright for experimental browser automation One of the biggest goals is privacy. Your resume, career history, generated documents, job leads, application notes, and API keys should not have to live on someone else’s server by default. JustHireMe is built around a local-first architecture so users can keep ownership of their data while still benefiting from modern AI workflows. Another major goal is explainability. I don’t want an AI system that just says: “This job is a good match.” I want it to explain: which skills matched which projects support the application what gaps exist why a role was filtered out why a role deserves attention what to highlight in the resume or cover letter That matters because job search is not just a productivity problem. It is personal. It affects confidence. It affects opportunity. It affects people’s careers. The project is currently in alpha, but the foundation is in place.

The job market is in a bad state. Recruiters are flooded with AI-generated resumes. Countless job postings exist only to harvest data. Applicants are getting attacked by scammers (been there). People are disconnected. We need a safer space for real professional communication.

We’ve raised $4.1M to let AI find the right job for everyone. So today, we’re launching TAL. 3 years and 1M users on Grapevine taught us this: The internet today works for companies. Not for talent. Job boards, applications, resumes, ats. The system was built to help companies process people. But people are not pipelines. You are not a resume. You are not an application. You are not a candidate. You are talent. TAL is your talent agent.
