Catchr: Your AI copilot for the job hunt

Catchr is a free Chrome extension that acts as an AI-based job search assistant for job seekers. It tracks job listings a user is watching and applies AI tools to score fit, tailor resumes, and prepare interview answers. The extension copies a user's resume from Google Docs, rewrites bullet points to match job descriptions, and highlights changes for review. It also generates interview preparation documents saved to the user's Google Drive.

Catchr is completely free with no account or subscription required. Its AI runs on the user's own API key, leveraging Gemini's free tier which has daily limits that reset automatically. If users hit a limit, the AI tools work again once the reset occurs, and Google does not charge unless billing is turned on by the user.

Users must provide their own API key for the AI to function, whether using Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. This means the resume and job description go directly from the browser to the chosen AI without passing through a Catchr data server. Users manage the key and any associated charges directly with the issuing company.

Catchr integrates directly into job posting pages on LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Wellfound, and Ashby. On these sites, it adds a 'Catch It' button to the job posting, allowing users to run tools without opening a popup or leaving the page. If the button is missing, users can click the Catchr icon in Chrome's toolbar.

The extension copies a user's resume from Google Docs and rewrites the bullet points to match the job description. It highlights new wording in yellow and leaves comments on anything moved or cut so the user can decide what stays. Users are advised to always review their tailored resume before sending it.

Catchr builds a full interview prep document from the resume and job description, including company overview, talking points, STAR stories, and suggested questions. This document is saved to the user's Google Drive and includes role-specific questions and talking points derived from the resume.

The tool creates a single Google Sheet for the job search that auto-syncs to the user's Drive. It tracks each role applied to and fills in details like company, role, location, and status. The dashboard tab calculates total applications, response and interview rates, and weekly momentum automatically.

Catchr scores a candidate's background against the job description across skills, experience, and soft skills. It pinpoints gaps clearly and provides realistic scores so users can apply with clarity instead of hope. The scoring helps users understand where they stand before applying.

Catchr reads the resume in the browser and sends it only to the chosen AI with detected name and contact details removed first. It can only see the files it creates for the user and the files they pick, such as the job tracker sheet and tailored resumes. The removal process works by matching text and may miss some details.

The tool is designed for job seekers who want to manage their applications efficiently without doing the work twice. It supports multiple languages and markets by integrating with major job sites like LinkedIn and Indeed, as well as niche platforms like Wellfound and Ashby.

To get started, users must add the Catchr extension to Chrome and obtain an API key from Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. The setup guide walks users through getting a key, and the extension then tracks job listings and applies AI tools automatically.
