Career-Ops: let AI find your next job
It reads job listings, scores each one against your CV from 1 to 5, and writes a CV and cover letter for the good ones. You stay in charge: it never applies for you.
Checked on 9 Oct 2026. Tools change fast, so the official page always wins if it says something different.
What it does
- Scores every job 1 to 5 against your CV, with a full report on why, so you only chase jobs that fit.
- Scans job boards at 100+ companies (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, LinkedIn and more) when you type one command.
- Writes a CV made for that exact job (ATS-friendly PDF) and a cover letter.
- Finds the hiring manager and drafts your LinkedIn message.
- Tracks every application so nothing slips.
- The creator used it on 740+ job listings, made 100+ tailored CVs and landed a Head of Applied AI role.
What you need first
Step by step
Install Node.js
Easiest: download the LTS installer from nodejs.org and click through it. Or, if you have Homebrew, paste this in Terminal (Cmd + Space, type Terminal).Easiest: download the LTS installer from nodejs.org and click through it. Or paste this in PowerShell (Start → type PowerShell). Then close PowerShell and open a new one.
brew install node
winget install -e --id OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements
Install Claude Code (or your AI tool)
Paste the line, then sign in with your Claude account when it asks. Prefer Codex or a free option? Install that instead (links on the Career-Ops page) and use its command in step 4.
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Download Career-Ops
This creates a folder called career-ops with everything inside.
cd ~ npx @santifer/career-ops init
Tip: Windows says "running scripts is disabled"? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned -Force once, then try again.
Open it with your AI tool
cd career-ops claude
Give it your CV and what you want
It walks you through a short setup. Paste your CV when it asks, and tell it the roles, levels and locations you're after. The more honest detail, the better the scores.
Score a job
Paste any job link into the chat. You get a report and a score from 1 to 5. Or let it search for you:
/career-ops scan
Tip: The creator's own rule: only go for jobs that score 4 out of 5 or higher. It's not a spray-and-pray tool.
Get your CV and cover letter, then apply yourself
For a good match, ask it for a tailored CV and a cover letter. Read every line before you send anything, then apply on the company's site yourself.
Things to ask it
Paste these into the chat once it's set up.
Here's a job link: [paste link]. Score it against my CV and tell me the 3 biggest gaps.
Make a tailored CV and a short cover letter for this job. Don't add any skill I don't have.
Find the hiring manager for this role and draft a short, friendly LinkedIn message.
Show me all my applications and what I should follow up on this week.
Want it set up for you?
Not into terminals? Reply SETUP to my Instagram DM and tell me what kind of job you're after. I'll tell you how I can help.
The catch
- There's some setup. It runs inside an AI coding tool, so you'll copy a few commands the first time.
- Your AI tool may cost money. Claude Code needs a paid Claude plan. Free options exist but are weaker.
- The first scores are average. It gets better as it learns what you want.
- AI can add skills you don't have. Always read your CV before you send it.
- It never applies for you. That's on purpose. Respect each job site's rules and don't spam companies.
Stuck?
It says "npx: command not found"
