AI-powered company analysis and interview preparation CLI for job seekers
Project description
HireKit
AI-powered company analysis and interview preparation CLI for job seekers
Research companies. Match jobs. Ace interviews.
Why It Matters
You're in an interview. Your interviewer asks: "Why do you want to work here?"
You pause. You didn't research the company beyond the job posting.
90% of rejected candidates cite "unprepared" as feedback.
Meanwhile, company research takes 4-8 hours across fragmented sources:
- DART filings (Korean finance jargon, hard to parse)
- News articles (biased, scattered across 10+ sites)
- Glassdoor reviews (complaint-focused, outdated)
- GitHub (tech only, no culture insights)
- LinkedIn, internal wikis, salary data
No tool combines these into one actionable intelligence report.
HireKit solves this: One command, 2 minutes, 8 data sources, 1 decision-ready report.
How It Works
# Step 1: Install (30 seconds)
$ pip install hirekit
# Step 2: Configure API keys (1 minute, one-time)
$ hirekit configure
> DART API Key: [paste]
> Naver Client ID: [paste]
# Step 3: Analyze a company (2 minutes)
$ hirekit analyze 카카오
# Output: 12-section decision report
Total time: 3 minutes vs. 4-8 hours of manual research
What You Get
Single Actionable Score: 0-100 Job Fit Rating
82/100 = Strong Opportunity (Go for it)
75/100 = Competitive (Worth applying with prep)

- Evidence-based scoring, not gut feeling
- All sources cited with dates

Adding Custom Sources
from hirekit.sources.base import BaseSource, SourceRegistry, SourceResult
@SourceRegistry.register
class MySource(BaseSource):
name = "my_source"
region = "global"
sections = ["tech"]
def is_available(self) -> bool:
return True
def collect(self, company, **kwargs):
# Your data collection logic here
return [SourceResult(
source_name=self.name,
section="tech",
data={"key": "value"},
)]
Configuration
Config lives in ~/.hirekit/config.toml:
[analysis]
default_region = "kr"
cache_ttl_hours = 168 # 7 days
[llm]
provider = "none" # openai, anthropic, ollama, none
model = "gpt-4o-mini"
[sources]
enabled = ["dart", "github", "naver_news"]
[output]
format = "markdown"
directory = "./reports"
LLM Support
HireKit works without any LLM (template-based reports). For AI-enhanced analysis:
# OpenAI
pip install hirekit[openai]
# Set OPENAI_API_KEY in ~/.hirekit/.env
# Anthropic
pip install hirekit[anthropic]
# Local models via Ollama
pip install hirekit[ollama]
# Or use litellm for 100+ providers
pip install hirekit[llm]
Roadmap
- Phase 1: DART + GitHub + News analysis, scorecard, Markdown reports
- Phase 2: JD matching (
hirekit match), interview prep (hirekit interview), resume review (hirekit resume) - Phase 3: US companies (SEC Edgar), web UI, community plugins, PyPI publish
