Our story

Built by someone who hated job hunting.

Not the concept of finding a better role — that part is exciting. The process. The spreadsheets. The tabs. The blank-page anxiety every time you open a cover letter. The sinking feeling two weeks in when you've lost track of where you even stand.

I started building ReadySetJob after my third job search in five years. Each time I swore I'd do it better. Each time I ended up with a sprawling Google Sheet, a folder of mismatched resume versions, and a nervous habit of re-reading job descriptions I'd already applied to.

The tools I found were either too simple (just track status) or too complex (full ATS for enterprise). Nothing was built for the job seeker — the person on the other side of the recruiter's inbox, trying to run a disciplined, strategic search alongside a full-time life.

When Claude and the modern generation of AI models became genuinely good at language tasks, I realised the gap was closeable. A résumé tailored to a job description used to take an hour. Now it takes seconds — if you have the right system around it. Interview prep used to require scheduling a mock session with a friend. Now you can practice your answers against an AI model that knows the company and the role.

ReadySetJob is the tool I wish had existed. One command center: track every opportunity, generate tailored documents in a click, prepare for interviews with purpose, and see exactly where your pipeline stands at any moment. No spreadsheet required.

We're in private beta right now. If you'd like early access, join the waitlist. I read every note that comes through.

Building tools that give job seekers an unfair advantage — in the best possible way.

What we believe

Our principles.

01

Honest tools over clever tricks.

We don't automate spam. We don't help you apply to 500 jobs you're not right for. We help you apply to the right jobs, better.

02

AI as augmentation, not replacement.

The résumé is still yours. The cover letter reflects your voice. AI shortens the gap between your first draft and your best draft — it doesn't replace the thinking.

03

Transparency over lock-in.

BYOK means you see exactly what AI costs. Your data is exportable. You can leave anytime. We earn your subscription by being useful, not by being hard to quit.

04

Privacy is non-negotiable.

Your job search is personal. We're EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant, and we will never sell your data. What happens in your search stays in your search.

05

Built for the searcher, not the recruiter.

Most job-search software is built to help companies hire. ReadySetJob is built for the person on the other side of the table — the one who needs to win.

06

Simple until it needs to be powerful.

The default experience should feel obvious. Power features exist when you need them. We'd rather ship something that works in five minutes than impress you on a demo call.
