career-ops
AI-powered job search pipeline built on Claude Code. Evaluate offers, generate tailored CVs, scan portals, and track everything -- powered by AI agents.
What Is This
Career-Ops turns Claude Code into a full job search command center. Instead of manually tracking applications in a spreadsheet, you get an AI-powered pipeline that:
- Evaluates offers with a structured A-F scoring system (10 weighted dimensions)
- Generates tailored PDFs -- ATS-optimized CVs customized per job description
- Scans portals automatically (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, company pages)
- Processes in batch -- evaluate 10+ offers in parallel with sub-agents
- Tracks everything in a single source of truth with integrity checks
Important: This is NOT a spray-and-pray tool. Career-ops is a filter -- it helps you find the few offers worth your time out of hundreds. The system strongly recommends against applying to anything scoring below 4.0/5. Your time is valuable, and so is the recruiter's. Always review before submitting.
Career-ops is agentic: Claude Code navigates career pages with Playwright, evaluates fit by reasoning about your CV vs the job description (not keyword matching), and adapts your resume per listing.
Heads up: the first evaluations won't be great. The system doesn't know you yet. Feed it context -- your CV, your career story, your proof points, your preferences, what you're good at, what you want to avoid. The more you nurture it, the better it gets. Think of it as onboarding a new recruiter: the first week they need to learn about you, then they become invaluable.
Built by someone who used it to evaluate 740+ job offers, generate 100+ tailored CVs, and land a Head of Applied AI role. Read the full case study.

Quick Start
# 1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/santifer/career-ops.git
cd career-ops && npm install
npx playwright install chromium # Required for PDF generation
# 2. Configure
cp config/profile.example.yml config/profile.yml # Edit with your details
cp templates/portals.example.yml portals.yml # Customize companies
# 3. Add your CV
# Create cv.md in the project root with your CV in markdown
# 4. Personalize with Claude
claude # Open Claude Code in this directory
# Then ask Claude to adapt the system to you:
# "Change the archetypes to backend engineering roles"
# "Translate the modes to English"
# "Add these 5 companies to portals.yml"
# "Update my profile with this CV I'm pasting"
# 5. Start using
# Paste a job URL or run /career-ops
The system is designed to be customized by Claude itself. Modes, archetypes, scoring weights, negotiation scripts -- just ask Claude to change them. It reads the same files it uses, so it knows exactly what to edit.
See docs/SETUP.md for the full setup guide.

Que es esto
Career-Ops convierte Claude Code en un centro de mando de busqueda de empleo. En vez de trackear aplicaciones en un spreadsheet, tienes un pipeline AI que:
- Evalua ofertas con scoring estructurado A-F (10 dimensiones ponderadas)
- Genera PDFs personalizados -- CVs ATS-optimizados por oferta
- Escanea portales automaticamente (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, webs de empresas)
- Procesa en batch -- evalua 10+ ofertas en paralelo con sub-agentes
- Trackea todo en una fuente de verdad unica con checks de integridad
Importante: Esto NO es para spamear empresas. Career-ops es un filtro -- te ayuda a encontrar las pocas ofertas que merecen tu tiempo entre cientos. El sistema recomienda encarecidamente no aplicar a nada por debajo de 4.0/5. Tu tiempo es valioso, y el del recruiter tambien. Siempre revisa antes de enviar.
Aviso: las primeras evaluaciones no seran buenas. El sistema no te conoce todavia. Dale contexto -- tu CV, tu historia profesional, tus proof points, tus preferencias, en que eres bueno, que quieres evitar. Cuanto mas lo nutras, mejor filtra. Piensa en ello como hacer onboarding a un recruiter nuevo: la primera semana necesita conocerte, luego se vuelve invaluable.
Construido por alguien que lo uso para evaluar 740+ ofertas, generar 100+ CVs personalizados, y conseguir un rol de Head of Applied AI. Lee el case study completo.
