Workly: The AI Career Intelligence Platform
Workly is a next-generation career intelligence application designed to stop the "spray and pray" job hunt. Instead of generic job boards, Workly acts as a personalized career coach: it parses your resume, dynamically scours the internet for roles that actually fit your profile, aggressively filters out irrelevant domains, and provides step-by-step AI coaching to help you land your dream job.
🟢 The Free Features (The Core Engine)
Everything a user needs to build their profile, discover jobs, and manage their search.
1. Profile Generation & Parsing
- PDF Resume Upload: Drag and drop your CV. Workly’s parser extracts your hard skills, soft skills, and career timeline to build a structured profile.
- Career Goal Setting: Define your target role, preferred industry, and target salary so the AI knows what to prioritize.
2. The Discovery Engine
- Global API Aggregators: Automatically pulls live jobs from massive databases like Adzuna, Jooble, Reed, and Findwork.
- Target Company ATS Scraper: Enter a specific company (e.g., "Apple"). Workly dynamically detects if they use Greenhouse or Lever and injects their unlisted jobs directly into your feed.
- Search by College Major: Finds roles historically tied to your specific degree.
- Automated Job Alerts: Set up background watchers to notify you when perfect matches appear.
3. The Analytics & Tracking
- Strict Industry Gating (The Fit Score): Workly mathematically calculates how well you match a job. If the job is in a completely irrelevant domain (e.g., Nursing vs. City Planning), the score is aggressively penalized to 0% to keep your feed clean.
- Job Bookmarking & Kanban Tracking: Move jobs from "Discovered" -> "Saved" -> "Applied" -> "Interviewing" on a visual board.
- 1 Free Dream Job Analysis: Paste a job description to get a Readiness Score and a gap analysis of missing skills.
4. Specialized Modes
- Student Mode: Restricts job hours to legal limits, prioritizes campus jobs, and highlights internships.
- Freelance / Gig Mode: Changes the discovery engine to prioritize contract work, gig economy roles, and pipeline management.
- Part-Time Mode: Hyper-local search prioritizing shift-based and hourly roles based on your availability schedule.
