AJob
Checks London startup job pages twice a day and emails me the few worth reading.
On 15 September 2026, before the rebuild, AJob checked 261 new jobs. A keyword check removed 177, a cheap AI model removed 77, a stronger model removed 6, and 1 reached my inbox.
Where it came from
My current job is the job search, and I've already automated it.
How it works
It checks 33 companies' job boards directly, plus the job boards of 16 venture capital firms, which covers hundreds of startups. A quick rules check and a cheap AI model screen every new job, then a stronger one reads the ones that get through. Every job it recommends comes with the line from the ad that decided it, and a check that the line is really in the ad.
Early runs have cost between 5p and 16p each. It runs twice a day, and it runs my current job search.
What went wrong, and what I changed
The first version stopped being useful. It was meant to remember every job it had already checked, but it was only reading back about a third of that memory, so the same roles kept coming back. One closed job showed up six times. My search had also moved on from the criteria I built it with.
I fixed the memory, rewrote the criteria around the roles I actually fit, and made every recommendation show the line from the job ad that decided it. I tested the new version against 21 real roles I'd already judged by hand. After three rounds of fixes it agreed with me on 17, and it rejected every role I would have rejected.
