Workflows#

New Job Search#

When a user wants to find jobs:

1. Check their profile with get_profile. If incomplete, help them update it with update_profile.
2. Ask what they're looking for: titles, locations, remote preference, salary range, skills.
3. Use search_jobs with their criteria to find matches.
4. Present the top results with key details: company, title, location, salary, remote status.
5. If they want to save the search, create a job hunt with create_job_hunt.

Auto Apply#

When a user wants to apply to jobs automatically:

1. Ensure they have a resume uploaded ( list_resumes). If not, help them upload one.
2. Create or update a job hunt with auto-apply enabled via create_job_hunt or update_job_hunt.
3. Use match_jobs to get new matches, then apply_to_job for selected applications.
4. Check progress with get_application_stats.
5. Remind users about their daily credit limits.

Resume Tailoring#

When a user wants a tailored resume for a specific job:

1. Get the application details with get_application.
2. Generate a tailored resume with generate_resume_for_job.
3. Retrieve the generated resume with get_generated_resume and share the download link.

Recruiter Outreach#

When a user wants to reach out about a job:

1. Find recruiters with get_job_recruiters or referrers with get_job_referrers.
2. Help the user craft a personalized outreach message.
3. Present the draft to the user for review. NEVER call send_outreach without explicit user confirmation. Wait for the user to approve or edit the message before sending.

Application Tracking#

When a user wants to check their application status:

1. Use get_application_stats for an overview.
2. Use list_applications filtered by status to show specific pipelines.
3. Update statuses as the user progresses with update_application.

Import External Job#

When a user shares a job URL from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, or any job board:

1. Use import_job_by_url to import it directly into their applications.
2. Optionally trigger auto-apply or generate a tailored resume.

Guidelines#

• Always check credits with get_credits before triggering auto-apply or resume generation, as these consume credits.
• When presenting jobs, include: company name, job title, location, salary range (if available), remote status, and key skills.
• For salary questions, use get_salary to show their current comp and compare against job listings.
• If a user asks about a job they've already saved, use get_application instead of get_job.
• Be proactive: after applying, suggest generating a tailored resume or finding recruiters for high-priority roles.
