How Vantage works

Set it once. It runs on a schedule, every single day.

1

Search

Scans Google Jobs, LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor across your target locations. Filter by radius, recency, and applicant count.

2

Score

Claude AI reads your resume and each job description, assigning a 0–100 fit score with matching skills, gaps, and ATS keywords.

3

Tailor

AI rewrites your resume bullets to include job-specific keywords — without changing facts. Download a tailored PDF ready to submit.

4

Apply

Get a personalized outreach message for each hiring manager, track your applications, and receive a summary email digest after every run.

Everything in one place

A complete job search system built around your workflow, not a generic job board.

AI Fit Scoring

Every job gets a 0–100 score with a breakdown of matching skills, gaps, and the specific reasons you should — or shouldn't — apply.

Resume Tailoring

AI rewrites your resume for each specific job. Compare original vs. tailored side-by-side, edit manually, and export to PDF.

Search Radius Filtering

Set a mile radius around each target location. Jobs in Sonoma won't appear when you're searching for LA — exact geographic precision.

Email Digest

After each run, receive a formatted email with your top matches, fit scores, and outreach messages ready to send.

Hiring Manager Lookup

Automatically finds the likely hiring manager's name, title, and LinkedIn URL for each company via Hunter.io.

Auto-scheduling

Set a daily run time and Vantage runs automatically via macOS launchd — even when the dashboard is closed. Wake up to fresh results.

Application Pipeline

Track every application through Applied → Phone Screen → Onsite → Offer. Set follow-up reminder dates, log rejection reasons, and watch your pipeline analytics grow.

Outreach Messages

AI crafts a personalized cold outreach message for each top job, tailored to the hiring manager and role — ready to copy and send.

Interview Prep Packs

Per-job prep packs with 8 likely questions, company intelligence, and compensation research with 4 ready-to-use negotiation scripts.

STAR Story Bank

Build a personal library of STAR accomplishments. Write them manually or let AI extract stories directly from your resume — tagged by skill theme and surfaced during prep.

Jobs That Never Hit LinkedIn

Reads 239 company career boards directly at the source — Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday, and more — catching postings hours after they go up, before they reach the big job boards. Zero API cost.

LinkedIn Engagement System

Build your presence
while you search

Getting noticed by recruiters isn't just about applying — it's about showing up. Vantage manages an engagement strategy on LinkedIn so you're consistently visible to the people hiring for your target roles.

AI-generated posts

Claude writes authentic, on-brand posts about your field, skills, and experience. You review and approve each one before it goes anywhere.

Scheduled posting queue

Approve posts into a pipeline. Vantage posts one automatically per day at your chosen time — consistent cadence without daily effort.

Topic management

Define your engagement topics (skills, projects, opinions, stories). Vantage works through your list, with a clear "Next Up" indicator so you always know what's coming.

Interview Prep System

Walk in ready,
not just hopeful

Landing the interview is only half the battle. Vantage prepares a complete intel pack for every job you're tracking — so you know the company, know your worth, and know your stories cold.

8 likely interview questions

Behavioral, technical, situational, and motivational — each with an explanation of why it's likely and your relevant STAR stories surfaced automatically.

Company intelligence

What the company does, tech stack, culture signals, typical interview process, and what to research before you go in.

Compensation research + negotiation scripts

Market salary range and total comp estimate for the role and location, plus 4 word-for-word negotiation scripts for the most common offer scenarios.

Your data never leaves your computer

Vantage runs entirely on your computer. Your resume, job history, notes, and API keys are stored in a local SQLite file — never uploaded to any server. You bring your own API keys and pay only for what you use.

Simple, usage-based pricing

Paid plans are available in the United States only for now.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?
No. Download Vantage, open the .dmg, drag it to Applications, and launch it — that's it. No Terminal, no Python, no setup commands required. Everything is managed through the app's built-in dashboard.
How much does it cost to run?
The minimum cost is $0 — use Google Gemini (free tier: 1M tokens/day) and set Job Sources to Free Only. Vantage still scans 239 company career boards directly at zero cost. If you use Claude, a typical run costs ~$0.05–0.15. Tailoring a resume is ~$0.04 per job. SerpApi's free tier covers about 5 runs/month. Most Claude users spend under $2/month total.
Is my resume and personal data safe?
Yes. Everything runs locally on your Mac. Your resume, job data, notes, and API keys are stored in a local file — nothing is uploaded to any external server by Vantage. Your resume text is sent to Anthropic's API for AI processing (the same as using Claude.ai directly), but is not stored or used for training.
Does Vantage work on Windows?
Not yet — Vantage is currently Mac-only (macOS 13+) while we focus on making the Mac experience great. A Windows version ran in the early beta and may return; request access below and mention Windows, and you'll be the first to know. Linux is not supported.
How does the LinkedIn posting actually work?
Vantage generates draft posts from topics you define — things like your skills, projects, or career insights. You review each draft in the Engagement dashboard, edit if needed, and approve it to the scheduling queue. Once approved, Vantage posts one per day at your chosen time using the LinkedIn API. You always stay in control of what goes out.
What does Interview Prep actually give me?
For any job you're tracking, Vantage generates a full prep pack in parallel: 8 likely interview questions (behavioral, technical, situational, motivational) with tips and relevant stories from your personal STAR bank; a Company at a Glance brief with tech stack, culture, and interview process notes; and a Compensation Research summary with a market salary range and 4 ready-to-use negotiation scripts. Your STAR story bank can be built manually or auto-extracted from your resume by AI.
What counts as a "run"?
One run = one full job search cycle (scheduled or manually triggered from the dashboard). Browsing jobs, tracking applications, and editing your Interview Prep story bank don't count against your monthly limit.
Can I cancel or change plans anytime?
Yes — subscriptions are billed monthly with no lock-in. Cancel anytime from the confirmation email you received at signup, or upgrade/downgrade by subscribing to a different plan; your license key stays the same. Unused runs don't roll over between billing periods.
Do I still need my own API keys on a paid plan?
No. Trial and paid plans run entirely on Vantage's own AI, search, and email keys — just enter your license key in the app and you're set. If you'd rather use your own keys at no monthly cost, the free Beta & Friends program covers that instead.
Can I subscribe from outside the US?
Not yet — paid plans are limited to the United States while we set up international tax handling. International support is planned. The app itself runs anywhere on a Mac.
How do I get updates?
Vantage checks for updates automatically. When a new version is available, a notification banner appears inside the app with a download link. On Mac you can also trigger a manual check from the menu bar: Vantage → Check for Updates… (⌘U). Your jobs, config, and resume are always preserved across updates.
