---

A free, MIT-licensed job-application framework built on Claude Code that runs entirely on your own machine: it evaluates job postings, tailors your CV and cover letter to each one, and helps prep for interviews — an owned, inspectable alternative to a paid job-search SaaS product.

## Provenance

- MIT license confirmed on the repo; 46,052 stars / 15,913 forks confirmed via the live GitHub API — independently verified 2026-10-11 (github.com/MadsLorentzen/ai-job-search).
- The maintainer's own README states the project was built after a layoff and used to go from 69 tailored applications to 20 first interviews to one signed contract, starting as an AI engineer in June 2026 — quoted from the project's own documentation, not a third-party claim.
- Surfaced via the 2026-10-11 OSS X pull.
- Curated from the GTM Stacker signal registry (2026-10-11 pass); license and figures independently verified 2026-10-11.

## Why it matters for a GTM stack

This is the same own-your-stack argument applied to the job hunt instead of a sales pipeline: fork a free, inspectable framework built on tooling you already understand (Claude Code) instead of handing a recurring fee to a closed SaaS product for the same job. The honest read: it still depends on Claude Code access to run, so "free" means free of a subscription, not free of any dependency — and one founder's result, however well-documented in his own README, is a single data point rather than a guarantee.
