I’m excited to introduce Pingojo - https://github.com/pingojo, a project born out of the frustrations many of us face with traditional job sites and CRMs. Pingojo aims to streamline the job application process by bypassing typical roadblocks and ensuring your application reaches a real person, improving your chances of being noticed.
- Why Pingojo?
Many job boards and corporate CRMs create barriers that prevent your application from standing out. Pingojo offers a solution, particularly geared towards startups, by focusing on direct human contact. While larger companies may still prefer their own systems, we're hoping to shift that paradigm and encourage more companies to set up dedicated emails for inbound job applications. We're also working on developing better tools for managing these applications on the employer side.
- How It Works
Pingojo integrates seamlessly with Gmail and popular job boards like Wellfound, LinkedIn, Greenhouse, and more via a browser extension. When you click on a job link, a sidebar opens with a convenient button to generate a cover letter and a link to the company’s website. If an email address is found, it’s highlighted on the page, allowing you to quickly apply by pasting your cover letter, uploading your resume, and sending your application directly.
- Who Is It For?
Pingojo is perfect for job seekers who apply to hundreds of jobs and need a reliable system to track their applications, follow-ups, and keep records. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the job application process or frustrated by the lack of response, Pingojo is designed with you in mind.
- Join the Community
