Release notes
Major updates to Job Seeker OS — new tools, improvements, and fixes across the web app and the browser extension.
0.0.16
One dropdown for how an application ends
The separate Outcome dropdown is gone. Where a deal stands and how it ended are now the same choice.
Improved
- How an application ended now lives in the same Status dropdown as everything else. Pick Offer, Rejected or Went cold, and the card moves to Outcome for you.
- Dragging a card onto Outcome asks which ending applies, so a card never lands there without saying what happened.
- Withdrawn and Ghosted are now a single ending called Went cold, since both described the same thing: the deal went stale without a decision.
Fixed
- A card that fails to move now returns to where it was, instead of looking like the move worked.
- Dropping a card onto Outcome no longer logs an interview round that never happened.
0.0.15.2
The user guide moves onto the site
New
- The user guide is now a set of real pages you can read and link to, in English and Russian, with its own section in the site navigation.
0.0.15
See which questions actually come up
One release, shipped in two runs: the summary editor went out on July 22, everything else on July 23.
New
- On the interview question pages you can now mark any question you were actually asked. Each question shows how many people reported it, so you can see which ones really come up for your role.
- A new Engineering Manager interview questions page.
Improved
- Resume builder: click the summary in the preview to open its editor, the same way bullets already work. You can keep the change for that one resume, update it in your catalog, or save it as a new variant.
- The resume builder is faster: the page loads its data in one pass instead of nine, dragging a bullet stays smooth until you drop it, and resizing the panes no longer stutters.
- Application pages carry a breadcrumb toolbar, so you can see where you are and get back in one click.
Fixed
- Application pages no longer show a false "missing key" warning on the analytics panel.
0.0.14
A faster resume library
Improved
- Your resume library opens much faster: quality scores now load together with the page instead of one request per resume.
0.0.13
A clearer read on every match
Job matches now show their score on a visual gauge, opportunity rows lead with the role, and practice answers get reviewed the way you actually spoke them.
Improved
- Your match score shows on a color gauge on the job page, using the same score bands as your settings.
- Opportunity rows lead with the role title, company beneath, so the list reads the way you scan it.
- Resume builder: click any bullet in the preview to jump straight to its editor.
- Question practice: the recorder now sits beside your answer, and answers save automatically as you type.
Fixed
- Spoken answers in English are reviewed reliably again (some were wrongly skipped as non-English), and transcripts keep your hesitations so feedback reflects how you actually spoke.
- Site footer links no longer point to pages that don't exist.
0.0.12
See the research as it happens
Company research now shows its progress live, list actions are harder to fumble, and there is a new guide to opportunity tracking on the site.
New
- New page on the site: Opportunity tracking, with an interactive demo of how Job Seeker OS scores a job posting.
Improved
- While AI researches a company on an opportunity, a stepped checklist shows the progress live, the same way onboarding does when it reads your resume.
Fixed
- While a delete confirmation is open on your opportunities list, the row underneath is shielded, so a stray click can't trigger anything else.
- A cleaner not-found page that points you back to useful places.
0.0.8
A tidier opportunity page, with progress you can see
On an opportunity, you now see live progress while AI writes your resume and cover letter, you can edit saved contacts in place, and the page leads with one clear next action.
Improved
- While AI generates a tailored resume or drafts a cover letter on an opportunity, a live checklist now shows the progress, the same way onboarding does when it reads your resume.
- Edit a saved contact's details right on the opportunity (name, role, email, and LinkedIn) without leaving the page.
- A cleaner opportunity header: one clear primary action (Promote), with less-used actions tucked into a menu.
- In your professional profile, past companies are now listed newest first, matching how a resume reads.
0.0.7
A smoother onboarding and sharper resume reading
Onboarding reads more resumes correctly, shows you what the AI is doing as it reads, and speaks in plainer language — plus a new guide on why one resume for every job falls short.
New
- New guide — “One resume for every job fits no one” — on why a single all-purpose resume underperforms, and what to do instead.
Improved
- While AI reads a hard-to-parse resume during onboarding, a live checklist shows the progress — reading the document, extracting your roles and experience, pulling out skills, and building your summary.
- More resumes parse correctly the first time, so your work history comes through even in unusual formats.
- Plainer, clearer wording across the onboarding steps — upload, scoring, titles, and review.
0.0.6
Company intel, interview debriefs, and a builder you edit in place
Dig into a company before you apply, get an AI debrief after each interview round, edit your resume by clicking right on it, and browse the new Insights section.
New
- Company Intel on every opportunity — pull together what you need to know about a company before you apply.
- Interview debriefs — after a round, an AI pass reads your notes or transcript and gives you a structured read on how it went.
- Insights — a new section of articles, with its own spot in the top navigation.
- New guides: phone-interview prep, plus dedicated interview-question pages for Product Manager and Project Manager roles.
Improved
- Resume builder: click any part of your resume to edit it right on the page.
- Smoother interview-prep flow and onboarding review, with resume-builder polish throughout.
Fixed
- Old /dashboard links now take you straight to your Opportunities instead of a dead route.
0.0.5
Smarter resume reading and clearer wording
Onboarding now reads tricky resumes with AI, we've dropped jargon across the app, and the resources hub has a set of new interview and job-search guides.
New
- When the standard parser can't make sense of your resume, an AI pass now reads it during onboarding — so unusual formats still capture your work history correctly.
- The tools page walks you through interview practice as an interactive, self-playing slider, with the full Situation / Task / Action / Result laid out.
- New guides in the resources hub: selling yourself without being a salesperson, questions to ask in a screening interview, answering “tell me about yourself,” resume writing, and job-search strategy for experienced professionals — plus interview questions organized by role.
Improved
- Plainer wording throughout: it's your “job match” for the score and “job description” for the document — the “JD” shorthand is gone across the app and site.
- The onboarding scoring step and the scoring editor read in plain language, with less jargon.
- On an opportunity, the Opportunities item in the sidebar now highlights so you always know where you are.
Fixed
- Adding a job by hand (＋ Opportunity) no longer fails — it saves and opens the new entry.
- Opening an interview no longer errors in cases tied to older generated resumes.
- Resumes that some PDF readers garble into one-word-per-line are now extracted cleanly.
0.0.4
Resumes in your language, and a smoother start
Upload your resume right inside onboarding, choose the language your resumes are written in, and get accurate parsing for Russian-language resumes.
New
- Upload your resume directly in the first step of onboarding — the wizard reads it in place, no separate detour.
- Set your resume language once in Settings, and every resume you build or generate follows it.
- Resume parsing now understands Russian-language resumes — dates, section headings, job titles, locations, and certifications are all recognized in Russian.
- New guide: “How to search for a new job,” a structured walkthrough in the resources hub.
Improved
- Professional Summary now reads in a natural first-person voice.
- The application detail page uses the full width of the screen — more room for everything you're tracking.
- Résumé and cover-letter downloads now match the rest of the app's design.
Fixed
- Logging in returns you to the exact page you were headed to, query string and all.
- Resume parsing tolerates year ranges accidentally typed into the education-institution field.
0.0.3
A clearer job opportunity flow
Every job you capture now moves through one connected flow — from first score to a live application.
New
- Opportunities inbox: every job you save lands in one place, with filter chips (Inbox, Sent, Skipped, Rejected, Promoted, All) so you always know what's waiting on you.
- Each opportunity carries its own status as you work it — Scored, Finding contact, Reached out, Sent, Waiting reply — so you can see exactly where every job stands at a glance.
Improved
- Clearer line between an opportunity (a job you're pursuing) and an application (which begins when a company invites you) — promote an opportunity and it shows up as “Promoted → Application” with its interview stage.
- Consistent language for the outreach steps across the app, so the status you see on a job matches what you see everywhere else.
Company Intel
Generate a focused company intelligence brief for a specific interview — straight from a job posting.
New
- Company Intel: a one-page brief for the company and role you're interviewing for — what they do, why the role likely exists, technology direction, culture signals, and talking points you can bring into the room.
Improved
- Job match scoring now seeds Impact keywords from plain skill-list resumes, so scores are more accurate when your resume doesn't already read like a bragging document.
