Job Puffin

Job Puffin uses AI to rate LinkedIn job posts against your CV before you read them. The Chrome extension sends every posting from a LinkedIn search to an inbox, where each one is scored out of 100 against your profile and what you are looking for, so the time goes on the few worth applying for.

A LinkedIn search returns hundreds of postings, and most of the time goes on reading each one only to find it is the wrong level, the wrong location or the wrong terms. Job Puffin does that reading first and puts the best fits at the top.

Inbox

The Chrome extension sits on LinkedIn's own jobs pages. One click sends every posting on the page, along with the people named on it, to the inbox. Jobs arrive unrated and are assessed in the background, then listed best first with anything that breaks a requirement moved below the rest.

Assessments

Each job is assessed by AI on seven criteria, from seniority and career direction to skills, evidence in the CV and working arrangement. The AI also writes the user's profile from an uploaded CV during onboarding. Every score comes with the sentence it followed from, so the user can weigh it and disagree with it. A must in the search that the posting contradicts is called out as a dealbreaker rather than averaged into the score, and each assessment ends with a recommendation on whether to apply and what to lead with.

Jobs worth pursuing move into a pipeline that tracks them from shortlist to offer, with notes along the way and an introduction to a contact on the posting drafted in the user's name. It never applies or sends anything on the user's behalf.
