HireJourney
Designing a better system for the job seeker.
Managing dozens of job applications in spreadsheets is inefficient. HireJourney automates job tracking, visualizes application progress, and simplifies the job search.

The Problem
Messy Job Tracking in Spreadsheets.
I tracked my internship applications in a spreadsheet and had to manually input each field. As my applications increased, it became difficult to keep track.
Manual Entry
Every field, by hand.
Fragmented
Separate sources for search and tracking.
Poor Visibility
Cluttered, unclear insights.
Goal
Create an all in one solution from job search to offer.
Product System
How it all connects.

Automatically pulls role, company, and info
Save & Organize
Stores everything in one place

Automated Job Import
Problem
Manual job entry is repetitive — same fields, every time.
Solution
Paste a job URL → HireJourney parses the listing and creates a complete entry automatically.
Impact
One action replaces multiple manual steps.
Application Pipeline
Applications move through stages — UI should reflect that.
My Pipeline
31 applications
Users can instantly understand their progress and know exactly where to focus next.
Resume Builder
Problem
Many job seekers struggle building ATS-friendly resumes that pass automated screening.
Solution
Upload a resume or input structured data. HireJourney generates customizable ATS-optimized templates.
Impact
Helps you pass the first barrier: automated screening.
Tech Stack
I used Claude Code to rapidly prototype and build a functional MVP, allowing design decisions to be tested in a real product environment.

Deployment
From clutter to order.

Design + Development
Building my own product taught me where I might encouter gaps between UX and development. I now make tradeoffs earlier and design with implementation in mind.
Performance Awareness
Small decisions around data fetching and load add up. I am now more deliberate about when and how data is requested.
Full-Stack & Security
As this is my first full stack web app, I learned to connect frontend to backend and handle the basics — RLS policies, input sanitization, and keeping API keys server-side.
Auto Apply
Potentially use AI to auto apply to jobs. Could be monetized by keeping it a subscription feature.
Auto Write Resume/Cover Letter
Again keep it a subscription feature but it would automatically adjust your experience to align with the role.
More Resources
Want to build this into a resource for your whole career journey and not just for the hiring process, that would include adding things like a career roadmap, salary expectations, what skills or technologies to learn, and so on.
