Hi HN! Solo founder here. Built PayRankJobs (https://payrankjobs.com) after my (tech writer) wife kept getting spammed with $55K job "opportunities" when she's already making $200K.
What it does:
- Upload your resume.
- Set your minimum salary requirement (optional).
- Get an email with personalized job matches that actually pay well.
- Includes AI-researched salary data (base + equity) and company ratings
Technical stack:
- Serverless on Cloudflare Workers
- LLM for resume parsing
- LLM for embeddings/matching
- PostgreSQL + pgvector for similarity search
- Dynamic job fetching via Google.
Key differentiator: Instead of browsing endless job boards, the system finds YOU the highest-paying roles. No more wasting time on jobs that don't meet your salary requirements.
Currently works for all english speaking countries (not just US) and provides salaries in local currency.
I haven't figured out monetization yet - currently burning through my own money on API costs. Would love ideas on this. Some thoughts:
- Charge job seekers after X matches?
- Recruiting/sourcing tool for companies?
- Premium features (more frequent updates, salary negotiation tips)?
I'd love feedback on:
- The onboarding experience
- Email format/content
- What other features would be valuable?
Happy to answer any questions about the implementation.
