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 getnextrole.com/waitlist

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