Write Charlie one email. He reads the whole market daily and sends back one role worth your time, resume, and cover letter already tailored.

Would love the option to mark roles I've already applied to so Charlie skips them the next morning. Right now if the same listing cycles through different sources I might get duplicate suggestions and waste time re-reading them.

@abdulkadirsosnย noted, and it's a good one. charlie already only sends fresh roles so it won't resend the same one, but a "mark as applied" control that also catches the same job across different sources is exactly the gap we want to close next. really appreciate this
OK, now this is genuinely interesting. I love the fact that it's not another app or login to remember. Just a couple of questions from me:
1) What is the commercial model? Is there one currently?
2) Is it skewed by geography? I am UK based. Would that influence the volume of jobs that I get compared to (say) US/Aus/Europe?
3) I can't see a privacy policy or similar on the site. Am I missing it, or is that not yet built? Feels like it is needed tbh.
Overall great concept and I do certainly intend to give it a go.

@martin_tannerย thank you, these are exactly the questions i want to get asked. straight answers:
1) commercial model: none right now, it's free while we're early. when there is a paid tier it'll be simple and honest, and nobody using it today will get surprised by it.
2) geography: honest answer, yes, a little today. we started with the US and india, so the index is deepest there. there are UK and europe roles in it, just a smaller share right now, so you'd likely see fewer matches than a US-based user until we deepen coverage. the flip side: charlie will always tell you the truth about where a role actually is instead of padding your feed with things you can't reach. wider UK coverage is high on the list.
3) privacy: you're not missing it, it isn't up yet, and you're right that it's needed, it's a priority before we go wider. how it works today: your resume and preferences are only ever used to match you to roles, never sold, and you can wipe everything anytime just by asking charlie to forget you. i'll get the actual page published.
really appreciate you giving it a go. and if the matches feel thin for a UK search, tell me, that feedback is gold right now.
Tried Charlie for a few days and honestly the tailored cover letter surprised me most, it actually referenced specific things from the job post instead of sounding generic. Having one curated role a day also kept me from doomscrolling listings.
