CareerKor.

CareerKor is a full career operating system I built myself: a candidate suite for resumes, cover letters, SOPs, ATS scoring, applications, interviews, and portfolios; a hiring platform for organizations; and an admin layer for managing growth, content, credits, users, and platform operations.

The Challenge

Career software is usually fragmented: one tool for resumes, another for cover letters, another spreadsheet for applications, separate interview practice, and disconnected hiring workflows for companies.

Pain Points
  • Repeatedly rewriting career materials for every role
  • Losing track of applications, follow-ups, and interview preparation
  • Not knowing why a resume fails ATS or misses job requirements
  • Recruiters managing candidates, screening, and workflows across scattered tools
  • Needing platform operations, monetization, content, and user support in one private product

The Solution

I built CareerKor as one product surface where candidates can run their entire application process from a single career profile, while organizations get a hiring workspace and the platform has its own admin, content, credit, and operations systems.

Impact
  • Built and shipped a large private product end-to-end across candidate, recruiter, admin, and mobile surfaces
  • Unified resume generation, ATS optimization, cover letters, SOPs, interviews, portfolios, and application tracking
  • Added organization hiring workflows, job boards, screening questions, AI scoring, and candidate pipeline management
  • Created admin operations for subscriptions, credits, reports, content, campaigns, monitoring, and platform governance
