Job discovery and application tracking
Optyfind
Optyfind is an online job-search and application-tracking platform that processes approximately 800,000 postings each day. It filters out old and repeated listings, then evaluates newly discovered opportunities against a person’s actual skills and experience.

The Challenge
Job-search platforms repeatedly surface old, duplicated, or poorly matched postings. Job seekers spend significant time sorting through listings that are no longer fresh or do not fit their actual experience.
The Approach
I designed and built Optyfind around freshness and relevance. A posting must fall within a 24-hour freshness window. The system examines posting content and original-posting information supplied by applicant-tracking systems to recognize repeated or resurfaced jobs. Fresh postings are then evaluated against the user’s skills and experience.
