GigMe

Live in productionFree account required

Practice job interviews, find out which of your skills hold up, and track which applications get replies.

Current status

Live career coaching and job market beta at gigme.ngi.video; verified in single-user mode with public market rollups and free account sign-in.

Overview

Interactive career copilot and job-market intelligence beta that tests your real-world strengths, runs realistic practice interviews, surfaces high-fit roles with hybrid search, and tracks which applications earn human replies.

Why it was built

Job boards flood people with keyword-matched listings without telling them which skills they are actually missing or whether their application strategy is working.

Why it helps

Guides you through focused modes for career discovery, mock interviews, skill practice, and application tracking, while aggregating public role and compensation signals.

What you can do

Coaching modes: Auto-Calibrate, Mock Interview, Skill Coach, Career Desires, References, and Role Triage
Verified skill profile that separates tested strengths from self-reported resume claims
Hybrid role and compensation market explorer with explainable match badges
Single-user verified coaching loop with public market rollups at gigme.ngi.video

GigMe • Core Technology & Feature Architecture

Interpretable Ranker v2.8, Scout DAWRI Write Receipts & Counterfactual Why-Here

Separates tested skill assessments from self-reported resume claims, enforces NBER empirical attainability multipliers, and backs every AI coach mutation with a one-click Undo database receipt.

Ranker v2.8 + Kendall-Tau

Verified Skill Assessments & NBER Attainability Multipliers

Separates tested skill_assessments from self-reported claims, applies empirical callback-decay factors for years-short and seniority reach-down, and locks ranking stability via SHA-256 Kendall-Tau golden snapshots.

DAWRI Write Verifier

Dual-Gate Assistant Write Receipts with One-Click Undo

Cross-checks every Scout sentence claiming a profile or filter update against committed database mutations, stripping unbacked claims and rendering an interactive Undo receipt token on real writes.

4-Stage Search Widening

Punctuation/Acronym Guards & Preference-Aware Recall Ladder

Preserves C++, C#, .NET, Go, and AI via exact symbol and word-boundary guards, then widens zero-hit queries across 4 deterministic stages without re-probing rejected role families.

Why-Here + 6 Modes

Counterfactual Score Breakdown & NASA-TLX Cognitive Lockout

Shows base score, multiplicative adjustments (attainabilityGap, seniorityReachDown, compHeadroom, freshnessBoost), and open eligibility gates across 6 coaching modes with a 0.68 NASA-TLX Socratic lockout.

Ranker v2.8 attainability math & DAWRI write receipts vs. keyword floods & hallucinated saves

Comparison focus

Before: Stripped C++ symbols, false 95% match scores & unbacked AI 'saved!' claims

Standard job search strips '+' from 'C++', matches 'writer' inside 'Underwriter', inflates match scores when 1 of 11 skills match, and lets chatbots claim profile updates that never hit the database.

// Keyword board + unverified assistant
query("C++ Go writer") -> matches "C", "Google", "Mortgage Underwriter"
score = 1 / 1 matched skill = 95% Match (ignores 10 missing skills & VP gap)
assistant: "I updated your salary floor to $185k!" (0 DB writes committed)

After: Symbol/word-boundary guards, NBER attainability math & DAWRI Undo receipts

GigMe preserves C++/C#/.NET/Go tokens, weights verified skill assessments by NBER callback-decay multipliers in whyHere badges, and strips any Scout mutation claim lacking a committed DB write receipt.

// GigMe Ranker v2.8 + Why-Here + DAWRI Receipt Verifier
guards: symbolIlike=["C++"], acronymBoundary=["\yGo\y", "\bwriter"]
