For job seekers
AI job-search tools, scored for the job seeker.
24 AI job-search and auto-apply tools evaluated on a candidate-side rubric: honesty of the applications they send, how they handle your data and logins, whether they risk your accounts, and whether their outcome claims hold up. This is not the employer AEDT-compliance rubric used for the hiring-vendor directory.
