MadsLorentzen/ai-job-search — The job search that runs on your machine. AI job application framework built on Claude Code: evaluate postings, tailor CVs, write cover letters, prep interviews. Fork it and own it.

What happened

A developer, Mads Lorentzen, shared an open-source framework on GitHub. It is a set of steps you can fork (copy and change) to run your own job search. With Claude Code, it can check job posts, tailor your CV (resume), write cover letters, and help you prepare for interviews. You fill in your own profile first.

Key numbers and facts

• The creator sent 69 tailored applications.
• He had 20 first interviews.
• He got one signed contract and started as an AI engineer in June 2026.
• Claude Code needs a paid Claude Pro, Max, or Team plan, or API credits. It has no free tier.
• The job portal search tools are built for the Danish job market, but the pattern can be changed for other countries.

Background

Claude Code is a command-line tool that lets an AI assistant work on your files and tasks. This project adds a set of step-by-step commands, such as /scrape to search job sites, /apply to review a job and draft documents, and /interview to practice. The author says he built it after his job was cut in late 2025. The project says it is not linked to Anthropic and has no cryptocurrency or token.

Why it matters

The project shows how people can use AI tools to handle the slow parts of job hunting, like writing many similar cover letters. It also shows that the workflow can be adapted to any country. Still, the results come from one person's story. The project itself warns users to be careful of anyone claiming it has a crypto token, since that would be a scam.

What to watch

• Whether other users report similar results with the framework.
• Community forks that adapt the workflow for other job markets and AI tools like Codex or Gemini CLI.
• Changes to Claude Code pricing, since the project needs a paid plan or API credits.
