Summary

Job Description We are looking to scale job search in the US Market. We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Job Application Specialist to take over the manual process of finding, vetting, and applying for roles on my behalf. Your goal is to ensure My profile is one of the first applicants for high-quality roles that match my technical profile. Scope of Work • Daily Job Sourcing: Scan LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, ZipRecruiter and Glassdoor for Software Engineering roles that match my specific tech stack and experience level. • Tailored Applications: Submit applications on my behalf, ensuring my resume and cover letter are slightly adjusted to match the job description keywords (ATS optimization). • Tracking: Maintain a Google Sheet or Notion board tracking every application (Company name, Role, Salary range, Link, and Date applied). • Profile Management: (Optional) Manage my LinkedIn outreach to recruiters or hiring managers. Requirements • US Market Expertise: You must understand the US tech job market (Remote vs. Hybrid, W2 vs. C2C, etc.). • Technical Literacy: You must be able to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant roles (e.g., knowing the difference between Java and JavaScript). • High-Quality English: Ability to write professional, persuasive "Why I'm a good fit" blurbs. • Reliability: This is a daily task. You must be available to apply to "hot" jobs within hours of them being posted. Preferred Qualifications • Experience as a Tech Recruiter or Virtual Assistant for Software Engineers. ________________________________________ Screening Questions 1. Do you have experience applying for Software Engineering roles specifically in the US? 2. How do you ensure an application passes an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)? 3. What is your daily availability for checking new job postings? 4. How do you handle "Work Authorization" questions on applications if I am not a US citizen? (Or your specific status).
