Mass applying doesn't work
Sending hundreds of applications and hearing nothing back isn't bad luck — it's a targeting problem. StackMatch optimizes for fit, not volume.
Open-source careers platform
We handle the applications.
You prepare for interviews.
StackMatch mirrors jobs from HireGraph, scores every role against your profile, and auto-applies through a Chrome extension — with a separate community for hiring insiders. No mass applying. No wasted effort.

Why engineers struggle
Other platforms send applications.
We get you interviews.
Mass applying feels productive. But hundreds of applications with a handful of callbacks isn't a strategy — it's noise. StackMatch does less, better.
You never know why you got rejected
Ghosted after applying? Match scores surface skill gaps, salary mismatches, and missing experience — so you can adjust instead of guessing.
Spray-and-pray tools hurt your brand
Generic auto-apply platforms blast every ATS. StackMatch only surfaces roles where your profile genuinely qualifies, with extension-based apply you control.
How it works
Set up once.
Get interviews.
Three steps stand between you and a pipeline of targeted applications running in the background.
1
Build your profile once
Add skills, experience, salary targets, and resume text in the Careers Hub. Profiles drive matching and auto-apply form filling across web, extension, and mobile.
2
Jobs sync & scores compute
HireGraph feeds open roles into StackMatch. Celery workers mirror companies and jobs into Postgres + Elasticsearch, then score each job against your profile with rule + semantic matching.
3
Review matches, extension applies
Approve high-match roles in the Careers Hub. The Chrome extension opens the ATS, fills forms from your profile, and logs every step back to your application tracker.
The platform
Two frontends.
One shared backend.
StackMatch is a monorepo: separate Next.js apps for careers and community, a FastAPI backend, Celery workers, Chrome extension, and Expo mobile — all orchestrated with Docker Compose.

What makes us different
Not more applications.
Better ones.
Profile-scoped matching
Every job is scored against your specific profile — skills, seniority, salary, remote preference — using a 70/30 rule + semantic blend. Dismiss noise, focus on real fits.
Extension auto-apply
The Chrome MV3 extension bridges to Careers Hub, opens the ATS apply URL, fills forms from your profile payload, and reports success or failure back to the API.
Application kanban
Track every application through saved → applied → screening → interview → offer stages. Drag cards between columns; status syncs to Postgres in real time.
Fast job search
Jobs are indexed in Elasticsearch for sub-second search by title, company, and skills — while Postgres remains the system of record for matches and applications.
Inside Hiring community
A separate community app for hiring discussions, posts, and votes — public feed with auth for posting. Careers and community share JWT auth but run as independent surfaces.
Mobile careers companion
Expo mobile app for jobs, matches, saved roles, applications, and profile management on the go — careers-only, no community surface on mobile yet.
Built for this moment
For engineers who need to move fast
without losing control.
AK
Senior Backend Engineer · Active job search
“I needed interviews fast without manually applying to hundreds of companies. StackMatch scores roles against my profile and the extension handles the ATS forms — I just review matches and prep for screens.”
JL
Full Stack Engineer · Returning to market
“The match breakdown told me my salary band was above range for half the jobs I was targeting. That alone saved weeks. The kanban board keeps every application visible.”
MR
Platform Engineer · Remote-first
“Splitting careers and community makes sense — I use Careers Hub for applications and Inside Hiring for real hiring signal from people who've been through it.”

You approve before auto-apply fires
Review matches in the Careers Hub, check score breakdowns, then trigger auto-apply. The extension only runs after you explicitly start a session.
Honest profile data only
Matching and form fill use skills and experience from your profile — no fabricated credentials. Embeddings are computed from your real resume text.
Full application audit trail
Every extension run logs steps to apply_logs. Failed applies surface last_error on the kanban card so you know what went wrong.
FAQ
Common questions.
StackMatch scores every job against your specific profile before surfacing it. You review matches, see skill gaps, and trigger auto-apply through a Chrome extension — not a blind spray to hundreds of ATS portals.
