Applicant Studio is an AI-powered job search automation system built on top of Claude Code. It reimagines the job application process as a software engineering workflow rather than a manual, repetitive task, using Claude as the intelligence layer to handle the work that candidates typically do by hand. The system operates through a collection of over fourteen skill modes, each covering a specific part of the job search lifecycle. These include analyzing job descriptions, tailoring resumes to specific roles, drafting cover letters, preparing for interviews, researching companies, and tracking application status. A Go-based dashboard provides a visual overview of all active applications and their current state. The system can generate PDF versions of CVs on demand and supports batch processing, meaning it can work through multiple job listings in a single automated run rather than requiring one-by-one manual input. You would use Applicant Studio if you are conducting an active job search and want to scale your output beyond what is practical to do manually. Instead of spending hours customizing each application individually, you configure the system once with your background and preferences and then use it to generate tailored application materials across many roles in parallel. It is particularly useful for candidates targeting a large number of positions or those who want to ensure their materials are consistently optimized for each job description. The project is written in JavaScript and integrates tightly with Claude Code as its AI runtime. It is designed to run locally on the developer's machine as a command-line workflow rather than as a hosted web service.
