Helm's job list showing twelve roles with verdicts, scores and statuses

A software engineering search outgrows a spreadsheet

Dozens of roles, a handful of agencies, and a CV you reword for each one. A spreadsheet stops coping long before the search does.

What Helm does

Track

Every role, its status, your notes and the next action, in one place.

A job in progress in Helm, with its next action, notes and activity log

Score

An ATS keyword fit and a human-fit read, measured against your target titles, salary floor and work-mode rules rather than a generic score.

A strong-fit role in Helm with a human score of 86 and an ATS score of 78, and the notes behind each

Tailor

CV review and tailoring for each role, with gap analysis against the job description.

CV tailoring in Helm, with the summary, a review bar and selectable bullets for each role

Automate

An optional automation API, off by default, so you can script adding leads from your own Mac. It only listens on your machine.

Your data, your AI

Your jobs and CV are stored on your devices and your iCloud, sent to your chosen AI only when you run a feature. There is no Helm account. If you use the AI features you bring your own key (Anthropic or another compatible provider), and it stays in your device's Keychain.
