JSE (Job Search Engine) — a local-first desktop assistant for the whole job
hunt. Scrapes listings, matches them against your resume with a local LLM,
tracks everything on a Kanban board, and drafts applications in your own voice.
Runs on your own hardware. Free and open source.

This is an early release. It works and I use it daily, but it's rough in
places and built around my own workflow. Expect rough edges, and please file
issues — that's exactly what I'm after right now.

What's here

  • Local-LLM job matching and tiered assessment (OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
  • Multi-lane career-path search
  • Fragment/RAG knowledge base built from your past applications
  • Kanban pipeline: interviews, feedback, follow-ups, auto-archiving
  • Plugin-based scrapers
  • Optional cloud LLM for document generation
  • Hidden- and current-market analysis

Requirements

  • Node.js + npm, Python 3.11+, Chrome (for scraping)
  • A local OpenAI-compatible LLM server, or cloud API credentials
  • See the README for full setup

Known limitations

  • Windows/macOS launchers only, Linux untested
  • Scraper creator is in beta - it works, just may have issues
  • UI needs a bit of a polish in some areas, but it's workable

Install

Run from source — see the README quickstart.
Windows installer included - in beta
