Jobherder job search missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

quick

quick_job_search

The single best current role for a profile, with a tailored CV and cover letter, in minutes rather than an hour. $2.50 in USDC. Use this when you want one answer fast; use start_job_search when you want a shortlist of 7 to choose from. With no credit it returns an x402 PaymentRequired; retry the same call with the signed payment in _meta["x402/payment"].

start

start_job_search

Spend one credit to run a full search: 7 roles matched to the profile, each with a tailored CV and cover letter returned as markdown by get_search_status and emailed as PDFs. Requires an API key. With no credit left it returns an x402 PaymentRequired; retry the same call with the signed payment in _meta["x402/payment"] to pay in USDC and run immediately.

status

get_search_status
