What was done
On 09 October 2026 malfist writes that he is job hunting after a layoff. An agent reviews LinkedIn every morning, cross-checks level and pay on levels.fyi, and judges fit against his resume. He gets around 5-10 possible positions a day. With his own judgement that is usually down to 0-2, averaging about 0.5 a day. He hears back from probably close to 10%. He writes that the pipeline is full, and that prep and interviews are a full-time job. The agent is not named.
How it went
He is left with around 5-10 possible positions a day, usually 0-2 after his own judgement, averaging about 0.5. The reply rate is probably close to 10%.
Worth knowing
He does not name the agent. The comment does not say the agent submits applications. The figures are his estimates, with the hedges he used.
How to do it
- Have the agent read [job-list] against [resume] and [pay-source] in the morning.
- Go through the list yourself and drop what does not fit.
- Write and send the application yourself if you want to continue.
Try it with Valgfri agent
With [tool], review [job-list] against [resume]. List possible fits with level and pay from [pay-source]. Do not apply and do not send until I say yes.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
Done when. The list has been read, and no application has been sent unless you sent it yourself.
Safety rule. The agent does not send applications and does not make contact. You do that yourself.
