Hey Hunters 👋

I'm Derrick, the developer behind Glassbox.

I started building Glassbox because I kept noticing a disconnect in how we approach tech job hunting.

Job descriptions ask for seemingly endless lists of technologies. CVs are filled with skills and projects. But it's surprisingly difficult to answer a simple question: How much of what employers are actually asking for do I already have?

That's the question Glassbox is trying to answer.

We analyze real tech job descriptions, identify the skills employers mention, and compare them with what's on your CV. Instead of another mysterious hiring score, you get a clearer picture of where your skills overlap with market demand and where potential gaps exist.

The journey hasn't been straightforward. We've dealt with slow embedding pipelines, production memory constraints, and the challenge of making job-market data understandable rather than overwhelming.

And we're still improving.

I'd particularly love your feedback on three things:

Does the analysis tell you something useful about your skills?
Is anything in the report confusing or difficult to interpret?
What would make you return to Glassbox before your next job application?

Glassbox is free to try, and feedback from people actually navigating the job market would mean a lot.

Thanks for checking it out!
