Hosting isn’t open yet
The software is finished enough to live in — I run my own search on it. What isn’t open is the hosted instance: I’m letting people in a few at a time so I can fix what each group finds before the next arrives. Leave your email and you get an invite when a place comes free.
What happens to your address
It goes on a list only I read. When a place opens you get one email, written by a person, with a link that sets up your workspace. There is no card to enter, no sequence afterwards, and the address is used for nothing else.
You don’t have to wait for me
Hosting is a convenience, not a better version. The instance I run is the same code as the repository, deployed the same day. If you have somewhere to run Docker you can have the whole thing this afternoon, free, and keep it:
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shifulaboratories/Hired/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
docker compose logs app # your sign-in details, once
That brings up the app and its database, applies the migrations, creates your account and prints the password once. There is one setting to supply — the database address — and everything after that is configured inside the app. The full instructions also cover the five-click route on Railway, for anyone who would rather not open a terminal at all.
While you’re here
The resources are worth a read either way: what an applicant tracking system actually does with your file, why the plainest resume format is the one that survives it, and who is worth listening to on the human half of the same problem.
