“I've been trying to make spreadsheets work but the challenge is it doesn't act as a plan and I battle to keep the spreadsheet updated. Jobespy helped me think productively about a repeated plan and keeps me accountable.”
Mark, New York
Finding the right role is mostly the work nobody shows you: the plan, the people, the tailoring, the months. Jobespy is built for that part.
Plan
A plan you actually use
What role, what kind of company, what it takes to get there. Set it, review it weekly, adjust honestly. Without one, the search just drifts.
Relationships
Build real conversations
Track the people who matter at every company you are chasing: hiring managers, recruiters, warm introductions. Most roles are filled through people, not portals.
Personalisation
Tailor each application
Espy reads the job spec and your CV, then produces a version tailored to that role, built around the keywords that matter. Yours to review and adjust before you use it.
Rhythm
Keep the search moving
A weekly rhythm that holds the structure: where to focus on Monday, what is worth knowing by Wednesday, what to reflect on by Friday.
The simplest way in: tell Espy what happened, in plain words.

The honest version of why this is hard
Most searches don't stall because you're not good enough.
Some things in a job search are out of your hands. But three of the big ones are not about you at all. They are about how the system works, and no one explains them. Here they are, plainly.
- A robot reads you first.
- Most large companies now use AI to filter applications before a human reads them. The algorithms reward keyword density and structure, not potential. You can be exactly right for a role and lose to a filter you never see.
- Applying into the void does not work.
- The strongest opportunities come from people: conversations, introductions, relationships built before the role was even posted. Most searches spend most of their time on applications and very little on people, which is the opposite of what works.
- The admin is where good intentions go to die.
- A real campaign means tracking dozens of opportunities, hundreds of people, multiple CV versions, follow-up dates. Without a system, the admin is exhausting and most people abandon their structure within three weeks.
“The right role rarely arrives. It gets built. Jobespy is for the building.”
>1 in 3
More than a third of people looking for work are still searching six months on (ONS, 2025). A real search is a campaign, not a sprint. Most tools are built for the sprint.
“You're not the problem. The method is.”
The honest competition
Most people are already using a system. It has a problem.
The real competition is not another job-search app. It is a spreadsheet and a chatbot. Most people building a serious search have already built something like this. It works, up to a point. Here is where it breaks.
What the spreadsheet and chatbot cannot do
- ChatGPT forgets.
- Every conversation starts from zero. It has no memory of the recruiter you spoke to three weeks ago, what they said, or what you agreed to follow up on. You carry all of that yourself.
- Spreadsheets do not chase anything.
- They hold names, but not momentum. They do not notice that an opportunity has gone cold. They do not surface the follow-up you owe. They do not track reply rates across your outreach.
- The admin breaks people.
- Most people abandon their self-built system within three weeks. Not because they stop caring. Because the maintenance cost outstrips the benefit.
What jobespy holds instead
- ✓ What you tell Espy in plain words, turned into contacts, opportunities and next actions
- ✓ Who you spoke to and what they said, kept against every opportunity
- ✓ Which opportunities have gone quiet and need a nudge
- ✓ Follow-ups surfaced automatically by Espy
- ✓ Reply rates per channel
- ✓ Your pipeline held for you, not by you
“ChatGPT forgets. jobespy remembers.”
The work behind the offer
Build the opportunity.
The best offers rarely come from a job board. They come from people you stayed in touch with.
A real search runs 10 to 20 opportunities at a time, with attention on the 3 to 5 that are warming. Each one holds a lot: the people, the open roles, the conversations, the materials, the goals. Jobespy gives each opportunity its own workspace, so nothing falls out of view.
10–20
Too many to hold in your head, few enough to run with intention.
Picture this.
You are two months into pursuing a mid-stage fintech in Manchester. There are three open roles. You have spoken to one hiring manager, two recruiters, one mutual connection. Eight conversations logged. A tailored CV ready. A goal to land a hiring manager meeting by month-end.
That is a lot to hold in your head.
Notes scattered across documents. Conversations lost in email threads. Materials in a folder you cannot find. The original goal forgotten by week three.
That is what an opportunity workspace is for.
Everything connected to one pursuit, in one place. The people, the roles, the conversations, the materials, the goal. Reviewed weekly. Adjusted as the opportunity develops.
An opportunity workspace, assembling.
A real job search, in motion.
Workspace
One pursuit, one place
Every pursuit gets its own space. People, roles, conversations, materials, goals. One workspace per company you are tracking.
People
Relationships, organised
Hiring managers, recruiters, internal contacts, mutual connections. Who they know. How warm the relationship is. When you last spoke.
Conversations
Every conversation, logged
Outreach, replies, meetings, follow-ups. Reply rates tracked overall and by channel.
Goals
What success looks like here
What does success look like here? What is the next step? When did you last move it forward?
Jobespy is not a sales CRM forced into a job-search costume. The categories, the goals, the rhythm are built for the actual work: slow, relationship-led, months long.
“Some opportunities cool. Some compound. The work is in knowing which is which.”
Personalisation that scales
Beat the gatekeeper.
Your CV. Your cover letter. Tailored for each role, not generated for you.
Some tools ignore the filter. Others fake a CV you could not defend in the interview. We do neither. We take your real CV and the job spec, then build a version around the keywords that matter. It is still your CV, sharpened for the role, in the time it took to send one.

The admin, handled
More time for what matters.
Jobespy holds the structure of the campaign so you can focus on the work that actually moves things forward.
A real search creates admin: reply rates, follow-up dates, CV versions, conversation logs, goal reviews. It all matters, but none of it is where you win. Jobespy holds it, so your time goes to the writing, the conversations, and the judgement that actually land the role.

- • Tracking which opportunities are warm, cold, paused
- • Remembering when you last spoke to each person

“Jobespy holds the structure. You hold the work.”
The rhythm that holds it together
A week with Espy. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
Espy is the part of jobespy that pays attention for you. Three moments a week, no more.
A real search runs for months. The structure has to last that long. Espy holds three weekly moments: a Monday plan, a Wednesday check-in, a Friday reflection. Enough to keep things moving. Not so much that it becomes the work itself.
- Monday morning. Opportunity briefing.
- Espy shows you the three opportunities worth working this week and the people behind them. You start the week with clarity instead of overwhelm.
- Wednesday afternoon. Worth Knowing observations.
- Espy points to what your reply rates, conversation patterns, and goal progress are quietly telling you. Doubt gets answered with data instead of feelings.
- Friday wind-down. Weekly reflection.
- You and Espy reflect together. What moved. What did not. What is worth carrying into next week. The week settles, not as effort, but as progress.

jobespy. A spy for your job search.
Quiet, patient, on your side. Notices the things you are too close to see.
Pronounced /ˈdʒɒb·ɛs·paɪ/: “job-es-pie.” We will not be offended if you mispronounce it.
Who jobespy is for
Five searches. One way of running them.
Jobespy is built for serious job searches. The five situations below are who we built it for. If one resonates, the rest of the site is written for you.
-
Early in your career
You are figuring it out as you go. The rules are unwritten, the advice is contradictory, every rejection feels personal because you do not yet have a back catalogue of them.
We give you the structure nobody taught you in school. Personalisation that makes you visible to algorithms. A workspace that teaches you how senior people actually run a search.
-
Weighing your next move
Employed. Not desperate, just deliberate. A quiet, considered search that respects how little time your evenings actually have.
A campaign that fits in 30 minutes a day. Opportunities stay warm even when your week gets busy. Espy keeps the patterns visible so you stay sharp without obsessing.
-
Recently redundant
The role ended. You need the next one. The energy is somewhere between exhausted and furious. You need to move without panic.
Structure replaces the panic. Every application counts because it is personalised. The rhythm gives the energy somewhere to go. Espy notices what is moving when you cannot see it yourself.
-
Returning to work
Coming back after time away. There were good reasons to go and there are good reasons to return, and your week looks nothing like a career coach's prescription.
The system fits the week you actually have. Conversations and relationships compound quietly while life keeps happening. We hold the admin so the time you do have goes on the work that matters.
-
Changing careers
The path you are on is not the path. You are building a story that explains the move and looking for people who will hear it. Most hiring is not built to take you seriously yet.
The opportunity workspace is built for the people-led path career changers actually need. Personalisation translates your old experience into the language of the new field. Espy tracks which conversations are warm versus polite.
“If your search is serious, jobespy is built for you.”

I tried this tool to see whether it does what it says on the tin, and it does. It's seamless to use, creates logical and incremental steps and gives me a good view of where my efforts are going. I'm definitely an early subscriber for this productive tool.
