Backed by new funding from Translink Capital and Indeed, Jobright Agent delivers 2X more interviews and cuts job search time by 80% compared to traditional job boards.
Jobright, the AI–native job platform, unveiled Jobright Agent, the first AI career agent that finds, customizes, and submits applications on behalf of job seekers. Trusted by over 520,000 professionals and growing 30× year–over–year, Jobright now puts job search on autopilot –slashing job–search time by 80% and doubling interview rates.
The launch coincides with a new $3.2M financing round led by Translink Capital with participation from HR Tech Investments, the venture arm affiliate of Indeed.
Moving Beyond Static Job Boards
Traditional job sites leave candidates going through irrelevant or fake listings. Jobright Agent flips the model: it scans thousands of sources, matches each candidate’s skills and goals, and crafts recruiter–ready applications, removing the inefficiencies of traditional search-based boards.
“For decades, job boards made you work. Now, our agent works for you,” said Eric Cheng, Co-founder and CEO of Jobright. “The future of job search is searchless. We’re building a faster, more effective path to employment—so people can focus on what actually moves their careers forward, like growing their skills and preparing for interviews, instead of wasting hours on dead-end applications.”

A New Era of Job Hunting: from Manual, Search-Based to Proactive, Agent-Led
Jobright Agent fundamentally transforms every aspect of the job search experience, shifting the paradigm from manual, reactive processes to intelligent, proactive career advancement:
- From Search to Match: Traditional platforms require users to search through thousands of listings. Jobright Agent intelligently matches candidates with opportunities that align with their skills, experience, and career goals.
- From Manual to Automated: While conventional job boards force users to manually sort through listings and submit repetitive applications, Jobright Agent automates these tedious tasks, allowing candidates to focus on high-value activities like interview preparation.
- From One-Way to Two-Way Fit: Beyond keyword matching, Jobright Agent evaluates mutual fit, boosting offer rates for candidates and hiring teams, dramatically increasing successful outcomes for both sides.
- From Passive to Proactive: Instead of waiting for users to discover opportunities, Jobright Agent actively hunts for relevant openings and takes initiative on behalf of job seekers.
