Gilji
AI-powered job search platform that predicts hiring, exposes ghost jobs, and maps warm introduction paths
Project overview
Gilji is a comprehensive AI-powered job search platform designed to give job seekers an unfair advantage. Instead of the traditional "spray and pray" approach, Gilji helps users access the hidden job market through intelligent hiring predictions, network mapping, and ghost job detection. The platform includes six integrated features: Hiring Predictions, Warm Path Mapper, Ghost Job Detector, Interview Simulator, Resume Optimizer, and an Intro Marketplace.
Team size: 1
Duration: 3 months
Dev hours: 500+
What was the problem?
The modern job search is fundamentally broken. 59% of applications never reach a human recruiter, while 70-85% of jobs are filled through networking rather than applications. Job seekers spend hours perfecting applications that disappear into a black hole, with 44% reporting being ghosted by employers. The process takes a significant mental health toll, with 72% saying job searching has negatively affected their wellbeing.
Solution
Gilji flips the traditional job search on its head by helping users access the hidden job market with intelligence and warm connections. Rather than applying blindly, users can predict which companies will hire, find their path in through existing networks, and avoid wasting time on fake listings.
AI-powered Hiring Predictions that analyze funding events, headcount changes, and market signals to predict which companies will post roles 30-60 days in advance
Warm Path Mapper that visualizes the fastest network path to any company through LinkedIn connections with AI-generated introduction templates
Ghost Job Detector that instantly scores any job posting 0-100 for legitimacy, with a Chrome extension for automatic scoring
Interview Simulator with realistic AI-powered mock interviews and instant feedback on responses
Resume Optimizer that provides ATS compatibility scores, identifies missing keywords, and tailors resumes for each role
Intro Marketplace connecting job seekers with employees willing to provide referrals, even without existing network connections
Functionality
The platform provides a complete job search command center with real-time application tracking, search health scoring, daily action recommendations, and personalized momentum coaching. Users can manage their entire job search journey from a unified dashboard with dark mode support throughout.
The results of our collaboration:
Comprehensive Dashboard with job search health score, today's actions, quick actions panel, and recent activity feed
Application Tracker with status management, company details, and application autopsy for rejected applications
