AI may be after your job, but this AI agent promises to help you get a new one
The jury is still out on whether AI will take your job, but there’s a new AI tool that promises to help you find a new one if you’re pressed.
On Tuesday, Jobright.ai, a recruiting startup co-founded by Ethan (Yudian) Zheng and Eric (Yuan) Cheng in 2023, released Jobright Agent, a software-based service that can apply for jobs on your behalf.
The company previously offered an AI service called Orion that was able to identify job listings that matched a job seeker’s criteria. It helped with resume revision and the application process but offered assistance rather than automating the job application process.
The company claims its new agentic service scans over 400,000 job posts daily to match candidates with opportunities that align with their stated career goals, and can submit job applications to companies on its own.
