Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Larry, and I built Hiring Odds after experiencing firsthand how soul-crushing the modern job search has become. Here's what broke me: Every automated rejection. Every hour wasted filling out Workday forms. Every tailored cover letter that disappeared into a void. I kept thinking, there has to be a better way to figure out which jobs are actually worth my time. But the career advice industry kept telling me the same thing: "Optimize your resume more. Network harder. Follow up better." As if the problem was ME. Then I started digging into the data. - 20-30% of job postings are ghosts (already filled, never real, or abandoned) - Some "open" positions have 500+ applicants before you even see them - Job descriptions are deliberately vague to cast a wide net - Most applicants have ZERO market insight into their actual chances We have been fixing the wrong problem. Most career tools tell candidates to keep optimizing and fixing themselves. But what if the real issue is that job seekers are applying blind, wasting hours on ghost jobs, flooded positions, and descriptions impossible to decipher? So I built Hiring Odds. Think of it like Carfax for job postings, transparency BEFORE you invest your time and emotional energy. How it works: Upload a job description and your resume (optionally add the posting URL) → Instant analysis of: - Hiring probability (your realistic chances based on your qualifications and market data) - Ghost job detection (is this even real?) - Competition level (20 applicants or 2,000?) - Requirements match (how well do you align with what they're asking?) - Market insights & red flags The journey here: I spent months testing and refining this with a group of job seekers, industry experts, and recruiters. We wanted to make sure this actually helps, not just adds more noise to an already overwhelming process. I would d love your feedback: - What features would make this more useful? (Browser extension? Bulk analysis? Something else?) - If you've job hunted recently, what signals would have saved you the most time? - What's missing here that would make you actually use this?
