Automated AI-Powered Job Search Pipeline with Relevance Scoring and ATS-Optimized Resume Generation

A developer automated their job search by aggregating job postings from multiple boards, normalizing data, and applying an AI model to score job relevance against their resume based on role alignment, skills gap, seniority, and location. The system filters out irrelevant jobs before presenting them, saving significant time. Additionally, it extracts keywords from job descriptions to generate tailored resumes and cover letters optimized for ATS keyword matching, improving application quality and efficiency.
