A job search that
actually knows you.

LinkedIn Jobs plus the boards and Gmail alerts for your market — you pick which ones during setup, so it works wherever you’re searching. Everything is deduplicated and scored against your profile before it reaches your shortlist.

After it interviews you, every listing gets a 0–100 fit score from 45+ weighted signals — your must-haves, the things that put you off, and hard deal-breakers that override everything. You see a ranked shortlist, not raw noise.

No — and that's deliberate. It writes a tailored CV and cover letter for each role you approve, but you always review and submit the application yourself. Nothing is ever sent on your behalf.

Yes. Claude is the AI doing the searching, scoring and writing, so you need an active Claude subscription — Claude Pro (about US$20/month) is the cheapest that works. If you run heavy daily searches you may hit Pro's limits and want Claude Max (~US$100+/month). Either way it's billed by Anthropic and separate from the one-time $29 for Headhunter itself.

A Windows PC — Headhunter is built and tested on Windows. It should also run on Mac, but that path isn't verified yet, so Mac buyers may hit a rough edge. Plus a few free pieces the guide walks you through: Claude Code (signed in with your paid Claude account), Google Chrome with the "Claude in Chrome" extension (this is what powers the daily search), and your Gmail connected to Claude so it can read your job-alert emails. First-time setup takes about 30–45 minutes and includes three quick by-hand steps — signing into Claude Code, adding the Chrome extension, and connecting Gmail — because they log into your own accounts. After that, it's a single click to run.

Headhunter stores everything as plain text files on your own computer — no Headhunter cloud, no database, no account, and nothing is sent to us. The AI itself is Claude, so the content Claude works on (your CV, the listings, your preferences) is processed by Anthropic, exactly as in any Claude conversation. The daily search also reads your Gmail alerts and browses job boards to do its work.

An honest picture: the first run is a one-time setup (~30–45 min), then a 20–30 minute interview where Headhunter learns you — have your CV handy, and you'll tell it which countries and job boards to search (it's tuned to your market, not a preset). Each day after: click to run the search, keep half an eye on it for a couple of minutes, then review your shortlist and approve the roles you like. A sharp assistant that does the grunt work — not a one-click magic button.

Mostly, yes. The daily browser search, the tailored CVs and cover letters, and your pipeline all work on a shared plan — each person uses their own Chrome and their own separate profile. The one exception is the Gmail job-alert scan: Claude connects to a single Gmail per account, so on a shared subscription only one person's alerts get scanned at a time. Simplest is to skip the Gmail step (the live search works without it); if each person wants their own alerts, you reconnect Gmail to that person when you switch. One heads-up: a Claude plan's usage is per-account, so two people searching daily will reach its limits about twice as fast.

Anyone running an active job search — your first role or your next big move. It's especially useful when you're evaluating a lot of listings at once and want quality over quantity.
