Career-Ops | AI-powered job search system built on Claude Code
Career-Ops
Introduction
Career-Ops is a sophisticated open-source job search automation pipeline designed to run on Claude Code. It transforms the AI agent into a full ‘command center’ for career management, replacing manual spreadsheets and repetitive tasks with an automated system. Instead of simply generating resumes, Career-Ops provides a multi-stage pipeline that evaluates job offers against your unique profile using a weighted scoring system, generates ATS-optimized PDFs, and tracks every application through a dedicated terminal-based dashboard (TUI). It is specifically built for high-intent applications, focusing on quality and fit rather than volume spamming.
Use Cases
Automated Job Evaluation
Paste a job description URL to get an immediate A-F score based on 10 weighted dimensions like CV match, compensation alignment, and career level strategy.
ATS-Optimized CV Generation
Automatically generate tailored, keyword-injected resumes in PDF format that are customized for each specific job description while maintaining professional design.
Automated Portal Scanning
Configure the system to scan job portals of 45+ top-tier tech companies (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, n8n) and major boards (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever) for new matching roles.
Behavioral Interview Preparation
Build a persistent ‘Story Bank’ that accumulates STAR+Reflection stories across all evaluations to help you answer any behavioral interview question.
Salary & Offer Negotiation
Access specialized negotiation scripts and frameworks for geographic discount pushback, competing offer leverage, and salary discussions.
Features & Benefits
14 Specialized Skill Modes
Includes dedicated modes for scanning, batch processing, deep company research, interview prep, and LinkedIn outreach.
Go-Powered Terminal UI (TUI)
A high-performance terminal dashboard to browse, filter, and sort your application pipeline with a Catppuccin-themed interface.
Batch Processing Architecture
Utilizes `claude -p` workers to evaluate 10+ job offers in parallel, significantly accelerating the research phase of a job search.
Multi-Portal Web Scraping
Uses Playwright and Puppeteer to navigate and extract data from major ATS platforms and individual company career pages.
Pipeline Integrity Engine
Automated tools for merging, deduplicating, and normalizing application statuses to ensure your tracking data remains a single source of truth.
High Focus on ‘Fit’
Encourages a high-quality application strategy by scoring roles before you apply, helping you avoid wasting time on low-fit opportunities.
Agent-Editable Configuration
The system is designed so that Claude itself can modify the scoring weights, archetypes, and portal lists based on your natural language instructions.
Developer-Centric Stack
Built with modern tools like Node.js, Go, and Playwright, making it highly customizable for engineers and tech-savvy professionals.
Cons
Requires Claude Code
The system is specifically architecturalized to run on Anthropic’s Claude Code CLI, making it less accessible for users who prefer standard web-based chatbots.
Technical Setup Barrier
Setting up the local environment (Node, Go, Playwright) and configuring the YAML profiles requires a certain level of technical comfort.
