In this series, we feature AI tools from across the MIT Sloan community, including those developed by Sloanies, that can enhance your job search process.
Job search fatigue is real. Rishan Mohamed (MBA ’17), an MIT Sloan entrepreneur and Trust Center alum, is determined to make the process easier. Earlier this year, he launched HiringCoach.ai, an AI-powered platform that helps job seekers authentically position themselves for success throughout the job search.
Recognizing the challenge today’s candidates face in creating hundreds of individually customized applications in a bid to win over both recruiters and their Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Rishan designed HiringCoach.ai to guide candidates through this process with ease, encouragement, and authenticity. The tool makes it easy for candidates to identify and highlight their top skills for each role. In doing so, it empowers job seekers to choose what feels most authentic, giving candidates the confidence to show up as their full selves in a way that also tangibly demonstrates their fit for the jobs they want. Candidates can even take a quick break from their search to get a pep talk from a robot.
Key Features
- Cover Letter Editing: HiringCoach.ai offers one-click cover letter editing. Simply upload your resume and a job description, and the tool will create multiple options for each paragraph of the cover letter, allowing you to easily find the style and content that feels most authentic to you and most compelling to the hiring manager.
- Skill Highlights: Highlight your key skills effectively. The platform analyzes your profile and suggests skills most relevant to your target job market alongside examples of you demonstrating those skills so you can stand out to potential employers.
- ATS-Optimized Resumes: Many companies use an ATS to screen resumes. HiringCoach.ai writes optimized options for each resume bullet so you can best align them with the job description. When you’re finished, you can export your resume in a format specifically designed to work with these automated systems.
- Application Tracking: Keep track of your applications with the built-in tracker. This feature helps you stay organized and follow up on your applications efficiently.
- Interview Preparation: Get tailored guidance for acing your interviews. HiringCoach.ai outlines potential answers to every possible interview question, lets you practice out loud, and gives you detailed feedback so you’re more than ready for the main event.
HiringCoach.ai is a powerful tool to streamline your job search and help you confidently navigate the job market to land a role that best aligns with your experience and goals.
