An Open-Source AI Job Search Hit 62K Stars in Under Four Months and Ships a New Commit Today
santifer/career-ops — which scans job portals, scores listings against a structured A-F rubric into a 1.0-5.0 rating, tailors CVs and tracks applications entirely locally inside an AI coding agent — has 61,962 GitHub stars as of today, having been created April 4, 2026, with commits pushed July 28 (verified directly against the GitHub API, not a trending-list snapshot). That is the candidate side of the recruiting stack — the layer LinkedIn Premium, Teal, Simplify and Huntr monetize — reimplemented as a repo with no subscription and no server. The pattern to watch is not the tool, it's the velocity: a config-and-prompts repo reaching that install base in 16 weeks is a distribution channel no incumbent can price against.
