THE PROBLEM
Your job search should not feel like a second full-time job.
Job boards optimise for volume. Generic AI tools optimise for output. Neither knows what makes a role right for you—or when the best move is not to apply.
Frontrunner turns a scattered search into one evidence-grounded system, then keeps the repetitive work away from the expensive AI judgement.
Approximate input tokens in the checked-in 8-role benchmark, compared with the inherited flow.
False rejects among roles scoring 3.0 or above in the 105-role deterministic calibration fixture.
105 roles checkedConservative by design
Every application stays yours. Frontrunner prepares and organises; you decide and submit.
HUMAN REVIEWED
Benchmarks are deterministic project fixtures, not promises about every live job board. Inspect the source and methodology →
ONE CLEAR FLOW
From “maybe” to your next move.
The mechanical work happens first. AI judgement is saved for the roles that deserve it.
Find
Scan company career sites and public job boards for roles that match the search you actually want.
Filter
Reject obvious mismatches on role, level, location and compensation before an AI model is involved.
Evaluate
Score the plausible roles against your real CV, goals, constraints and evidence—not a generic persona.
Prepare
Create grounded CVs, cover letters, outreach and interview prep without inventing experience.
Track
Keep applications, replies, documents, follow-ups and next actions together on your own computer.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Ambitious for your search. Conservative with your trust.
Local first
Your profile, reports, applications and documents are human-readable files in a private workspace on your computer.
Evidence grounded
Frontrunner can reorder, reframe and emphasise. It cannot manufacture work, achievements or authorship.
Efficient by design
APIs and deterministic checks handle collection, liveness and obvious mismatches before a model spends tokens.
START IN MINUTES
Let your AI assistant install your AI job-search assistant.
No configuration files to understand. Paste one instruction, approve the normal setup steps and answer Frontrunner’s onboarding questions.
1
Get the two basics
Install Node.js 22.5 or later and Git. They are the only shared prerequisites.
2
Choose your assistant
Frontrunner is tested with Claude Code and Codex. Pick the one you already use.

3
Paste this into Claude Code
Start it in the folder where you keep projects, then paste the instruction exactly as shown.
ONE-PASTE INSTALL
Install Frontrunner from https://github.com/Furls-Digital/frontrunner in a new folder called frontrunner, then follow its onboarding instructions.
Install the main and local interface dependencies. Do not overwrite an existing folder. Explain any permission request in plain English. When it is ready, start the local interface and tell me exactly where to open it.✓
What happens nextFrontrunner opens locally and asks about your CV, target roles, location, salary and preferences—like onboarding a good recruiter.
Prefer to install it yourself?Use the complete copy-and-paste terminal steps.+
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
git clone https://github.com/Furls-Digital/frontrunner.git
cd frontrunner
npm ci
npm run ui:install
claudeWhen the assistant opens, say: Set up Frontrunner for me. For PDF generation or browser fallback, it may also ask to run npm run browser:install once.
GOOD TO KNOW
The honest answers before you install.
No. It finds, filters, evaluates and prepares. You review every document and make the final decision before anything is submitted.
Your CV, profile, tracker and generated documents stay in a private, ignored workspace on your computer. Model-backed actions send only the bounded context needed for that task.
You need to install Node.js, Git and either Claude Code or Codex once. After that, Frontrunner onboards you conversationally and the local interface handles the day-to-day workflow.
Frontrunner is open source under the MIT licence. Your chosen AI assistant may require a subscription; the project also documents a supported free-tier path.
