Show HN: ApplyFirst – AI job search alerts that get you more interviews

Data shows that early applicants get more interviews. ApplyFirst helps you reach new jobs before they get crowded with 100 plus applicants.

ApplyFirst is an AI job search system. It focuses on sending alerts as soon as matching jobs are published. Users get instant LinkedIn alerts based on their specific needs. These include tech stack, salary, travel, and other requirements.

Users receive only relevant roles filtered by AI models. We extract key job keywords to help improve your resume and cover letter. Automate your job search and stay ahead of the competition. ___

Now let me tell you about the background of the product. I'm Misha, the developer of ApplyFirst. Earlier this year, I found myself navigating one of the most competitive job markets I had ever seen. Many roles already had over 100 applicants within hours of being posted. Despite being highly motivated and consistently applying, I often received rejections or no response at all.

While digging into recruiter insights, one key pattern stood out: timing matters immensely. Early applicants have a significant advantage. So I decided to put this insight to the test and built a small program that monitors job boards and surfaces new jobs within minutes of being published.

The results were immediate. I started receiving far more responses and landed a great new role in less than a month.

When friends began using the tool and saw the same success, I knew this could help many more people. After several months of refining and expanding it, ApplyFirst was born to give others the same competitive edge.

I hope it helps you too, adventurer.
