Jobright.ai builds an AI agent that acts like a personalized headhunter, interpreting candidates’ experience and recommending compatible jobs. It leverages large language models to score positions by compatibility and to surface LinkedIn contacts likely to offer referrals. The product includes an H‑1B filter based on USCIS data of companies that historically sponsor visas, a feature that attracted users from India and China. Since its launch in April the platform has amassed 50,000 registered users, with roughly 30% of users being foreign workers and about 60% using the compatibility scoring feature daily. The company is California-based and says it plans to expand its user base outside the U.S. The article notes founder Eric Cheng’s background as an early engineer at Box and the product’s positioning against competitors such as Simplify and LinkedIn.
