Hey Product Hunt, Jibin here 👋
I'm a product designer, and last year I watched someone in my family go through a job search. You know the ritual: five job boards, three logins, saved-search spam, 40 tabs, and the same resume fired at everything because tailoring one more application at 11pm is where souls go to die.
The tools all made the same assumption — that job searching deserves another app you have to check.
I don't think it does. So I built Charlie.
Charlie is a job search that lives entirely in your inbox.
📧 One email in. Write Charlie like you'd write a friend who happens to be a recruiter: what you want, what you're good at, attach your best work. No app. No login. No dashboard. That email is the entire onboarding.
🔍 Charlie reads the whole market. Every day he scans 10,000+ roles across company sites and ATS boards, and narrows them to the ones that actually fit you — not your keywords.
🎯 One real match out — already tailored. When a role clears the bar, you get one email: the role, how to position yourself for it, and your resume and cover letter written for this job, not adapted from your last one.
And here's the part I'm most proud of: some days, Charlie sends nothing. If no role is worth your time, you don't hear from him. The eval is brutal on purpose: Charlie freezes far more roles than he sends. A job tool that respects your attention enough to stay silent felt like the whole point.
I built Charlie for one person. Then I started using it for my own search (it's written applications I actually sent). Now a small group of early users get one honest role a day, and their inboxes are their job boards.
No new tab to check. Just email, the tool you already open every morning anyway.
I'd genuinely love your feedback, your skepticism, and your edge cases. I'll be here all day replying to everything. 🙏

How does Charlie actually pick which role to surface each day, especially if the role doesn’t perfectly match what I’ve been applying to in the past?
Gave it a spin yesterday and was surprised how on-target the role it picked was for what I'm actually looking for. The tailored cover letter wasn't generic filler either, saved me a solid half hour.
OK, now this is genuinely interesting. I love the fact that it's not another app or login to remember. Just a couple of questions from me: 1) What is the commercial model? Is there one currently? 2) Is it skewed by geography? I am UK based. Would that influence the volume of jobs that I get compared to (say) US/Aus/Europe? 3) I can't see a privacy policy or similar on the site. Am I missing it, or is that not yet built? Feels like it is needed tbh.
Overall great concept and I do certainly intend to give it a go.
Would love the option to mark roles I've already applied to so Charlie skips them the next morning. Right now if the same listing cycles through different sources I might get duplicate suggestions and waste time re-reading them.
Tried Charlie for a few days and honestly the tailored cover letter surprised me most, it actually referenced specific things from the job post instead of sounding generic. Having one curated role a day also kept me from doomscrolling listings.
