Fixing broken job search with AI. Launching March 29. What am I missing?

by•

Hey Product Hunt community šŸ‘‹

I'm Shakir, solo founder of GetNextRole, and I'm launching here on March 29.

But this isn't a pitch — I genuinely want your feedback before launch day.

The backstory (embarrassingly relatable):

Last year, I was job hunting while working full-time. Applied to 200+ positions. Spent 3-4 hours every evening:

  • Customizing resumes for ATS systems I didn't know existed

  • Writing cover letters that probably got auto-deleted

  • Tracking applications in a messy spreadsheet

  • Getting ghosted 95% of the time

5 months later: 1 offer.

I thought: "This is insane. There has to be a better way."

So I built GetNextRole:

  • AI Resume Optimizer (ATS scoring + fixes)

  • Job Match Engine (searches 20+ boards)

  • Cover Letter Generator (role-specific)

  • Application Tracker (Kanban-style)

  • Auto-Apply feature (launching soon — 70+ on waitlist)

The philosophy: Quality over quantity.

Not "spray and pray." Not 500 generic applications. But AI-powered targeting to the RIGHT jobs with the RIGHT positioning.

Here's where I need your help:

  1. Pricing feedback: Does $20.90/month for Plus (30 auto-applies) feel right? Or should I start free + charge for premium features?

  2. Positioning: Am I a "job search tool" or "career copilot" or something else entirely?

  3. Biggest concern: Will people trust AI to apply to jobs on their behalf? How do I build that trust?

  4. Feature priority: What would make you actually USE this vs. just sign up and forget?

Current status:

  • 100% product complete

  • 70+ waitlist signups (organic, zero ad spend)

  • Built nights/weekends while working full-time

  • Bootstrapped on limited budget

  • Solo founder (Toronto, Canada)

Launch day is March 29 at 12:01 AM PST.

I'd genuinely love your brutal honesty. What am I missing? What would make you hit "Sign Up" vs. "Meh, another SaaS"?

Drop your thoughts below. And if you want early access before launch, I'm at

Building in public is terrifying and exciting. Thanks for being part of this journey.
