Careersy AI
How it works

Say what is going on. Careersy does the rest.

An agentic job search and career platform: it does the work, not only the talking. One conversation, thirteen modes. It works out which one you need, shows the evidence it used, and keeps what it learned for the next decision.

AI Discoverability
Recruiters search LinkedIn with AI now. Would I even come up for Staff platform roles in Sydney? Here is my profile.
  • 1 earlier step done
  • Thinking about your question...

Read your profile the way those searches do, against 14 live Staff platform ads in Sydney. Statuses per area and the rewrites, not a score. Whether one recruiter's search returns you is the one thing I cannot test from a profile.

Staff Engineer, platform

AI Discoverability

You are a well-evidenced platform engineer, and the thing holding you back is discovery: your headline leads with a stack rather than the words recruiters filter on. Once someone reads you, the evidence is convincing; the risk is that fewer of the right people ever open the page.

Where you stand· 5

We have not searched the web for your name. Graded from your CV, not from your live LinkedIn profile. 2 rows here cannot be judged from a profile alone, and each one tells you what it would need.

Found by recruiters and their AI tools

Your current title, Senior Backend Engineer, is what recruiters search, so that role enters the pool cleanly. The problem is the headline: it opens with the stack (Go, Kubernetes, Postgres) rather than the market’s phrasing for the level you want, and “platform” appears nowhere in the first line. Location and skills are solid, so this is a wording fix, not a scope problem.

Found by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok

Recruiters and AI sourcing tools do not look for you by name. They search for a role: a title, a location, the skills an ad asks for. Then they read whoever comes back. That is the search this report is built around. Someone typing your name into an assistant is a different question, and the one thing here not checked.

Proving fit

This is your real strength. The experience section binds team size, platform scale and outcomes to specific roles: 16 engineers across two squads, a platform serving 900+ internal users. These are bounded, role-anchored facts, exactly what a sourcing tool needs to rank you above someone who only lists skills.

Inside LinkedIn

This read is from your CV, not your live LinkedIn, so it cannot see whether Open to Work is on, whether you share a resume with recruiters, or when you last updated the profile. Those levers only move things inside LinkedIn Recruiter. Add your LinkedIn export in your profile and the next report reads the real thing.

Cannot check from a profile

Say it directly

You state Australian citizen, the one screening fact handled well, since work rights are a common early filter for Sydney roles. Not on the page: notice period, salary expectation, or what is motivating a move. No profile edit surfaces those. Say them to a recruiter or in your outreach.

The loop

Four things happen every time you ask.

01

Say what is going on.

No form, no menu. Type it the way you would say it to a friend: the role, what keeps happening, what you are trying to decide. A CV helps; it is not required to start.

02

It picks the mode, and tells you why.

Careersy has thirteen modes, one for each kind of career work: coaching, the CV, the software that scans your CV before a person reads it (that software is called an ATS), interviews, the offer. It reads your message, names the mode that fits, and asks before it switches.

Coaching
Panel interview Thursday for a Staff role. What are they actually scoring?

03

It does the work, and shows its evidence.

The answer opens with the verdict, cites the lines of your CV it used and the part of the method it stands on, and ends with the one question that decides the next step.

Coaching

Forty-seven applications and one phone screen is not a wording problem. It is a level problem. Your CV shows you running a platform team of 16; a recruiter screening for mid-level closes it in seconds.

Which is it: a deliberate step down to hands-on work, or a wide net?

Scaled the platform team from 8 to 16 engineers while owning the roadmap for 900+ internal users.

04

It keeps what it learned.

Every report lands in your Library. Every fact you confirm goes into memory you can read, edit or switch off. The next question starts from where the last one ended, not from zero.

Same question, two answers

Ask a general AI. Then ask Careersy.

A general AI answers in seconds from what is indexed online, and it sounds the same whether it is right or not. Careersy asks for your evidence first, reads it with live ads and the recruiter method, shows each step, and cites the lines it used. Watch the same sentence go into both.

A general AI

Answers from what is indexed online
I've applied for 47 mid-level backend roles in Sydney since March. One phone screen.

That sounds frustrating. A few things that often help:

1. Tailor your resume to each job description.

2. Add keywords from the ad so you pass ATS filters.

3. Grow your network and ask for referrals.

4. Follow up with recruiters after you apply.

No CV read, no live ad, no question back. The list fits anyone.

Why it answers differently

  • Cites your own CV whenever the answer draws on it.
  • Picks the mode and says why.
  • On plans with memory, it remembers you, and you control what it keeps.

Sample data. The general AI reply is typical of what a general model returns for these questions; Careersy’s reply is the app’s own shape with an invented person.

The named comparison, with the June 2026 test

I was applying for jobs constantly for over 6 months and I rarely received a response back. Once I used Careersy AI to figure out where the problem was (how I was positioning myself), I started to get call backs and emails back, booking an interview in the same week!

Why it answers differently

Built from the other side of the table.

Built from the hiring side

13 years inside ANZ tech recruitment, 26,000+ resumes read, 300+ people coached. The questions it asks are the ones a recruiter asks in the room you are not in.

Thirteen modes, one conversation

CV, ATS, interviews, the offer, LinkedIn, the roles you did not know to search for, the companies worth reaching. Every mode on every plan; only Deep Reasoning is Power only.

See every mode

It remembers, you control it

On plans with memory you never re-explain yourself. Read every saved fact, delete any of them, or switch it off. Temporary chat adds nothing to your profile. Research stays in your Library and is usable as context for 90 days.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I need to know which mode to use?

No. Say what is going on in your own words. Careersy works out which mode fits, tells you which one it picked and why, and you can change it from the box you type in at any time.

What does it need from me to be useful?

A sentence about your situation is enough to start. Add your CV and it reads you the way a recruiter does; add a job ad and ATS Score matches you against that job; add your LinkedIn PDF and AI Discoverability reads it against live ads for your target role and tells you what to rewrite first.

What is the ATS everyone mentions?

That software is called an ATS: it scans your CV before a person reads it and ranks on the words in the job ad. Careersy shows you which of those words are missing and where they are true of you.

How do I start for free?

Score your CV first: paste it, no job ad, and the score with its five dimensions is free, under a minute, no account. The breakdown of which lines lost the points asks for an email, no card, and that account starts with 3 free messages on us.
