In plain English

SponsorPilot is an automated job-hunting pipeline. Each time you run it, the tool pulls live job listings from job board APIs, scores every listing against your own CV, and writes a tailored CV and cover letter for the strongest matches, so your part of the job is reviewing a shortlist and clicking apply rather than scrolling through listings yourself. It focuses on two countries, the UK and Canada, and you choose one or both when you start it. For the UK, it filters out employers that are not on the official government register of licensed visa sponsors, so you only see roles from companies that can actually sponsor you. For Canada, it searches nationwide, including remote roles, aimed at people who already have permanent residency or work authorization. Listings come from job boards including Adzuna, Reed, and Jooble, each of which needs its own free API key. For scoring and writing documents, it tries several AI providers in order, starting with NVIDIA NIM, then falling back to Groq, then Ollama Cloud, so a rate limit or outage on one does not stop the whole run. Each application gets a CV and cover letter rewritten specifically for that role, focused on genuinely relevant experience rather than inventing anything or relabeling you with a job title you never had. It also tries to find a real hiring contact email published in the job posting itself, and shows "not found" rather than guessing one when there is none. Everything is tracked in a local database on your machine, so a listing seen on one run is never rescored or reprocessed on the next. Setup involves installing Python 3.11 or newer, installing dependencies with pip, and getting free API keys from at least one job board and one AI provider. The README includes a beginner-friendly walkthrough with a setup wizard for people who are not used to running code, alongside a more detailed reference for anyone who wants to configure it further. Your CV, generated documents, and API keys all stay on your own machine and are excluded from version control.
