Fixing broken job search with AI. Launching March 29. What am I missing?
Hey Product Hunt community š
I'm Shakir, solo founder of GetNextRole, and I'm launching here on March 29.
But this isn't a pitch ā 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 ā 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:
Pricing feedback: Does $20.90/month for Plus (30 auto-applies) feel right? Or should I start free + charge for premium features?
Positioning: Am I a "job search tool" or "career copilot" or something else entirely?
Biggest concern: Will people trust AI to apply to jobs on their behalf? How do I build that trust?
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 getnextrole.com/waitlist
Building in public is terrifying and exciting. Thanks for being part of this journey.
