How DirectHireAI Works

Four simple steps to find and apply for jobs directly on company career pages — before the rest of the market even sees them.

01
🏢

Build Your List

Build Your Target Company List

Start by choosing which companies you want to work for. DirectHireAI gives you two ways to build your list:

  • Search our database of 40,000+ companies by name, industry, size, or location
  • Use AI-assisted search — describe your ideal employer and we suggest matches
  • Filter by company size (startup to enterprise), industry, and headquarters location
  • Save your list for future searches — no re-building every time
  • Pro and Premier plans support up to 50–100 companies per search
02
🎯

Set Your Titles

Enter Your Target Job Titles

Tell DirectHireAI exactly what roles you're looking for. Our matching engine searches each company's career page for positions that fit.

  • Enter up to 3–10 job titles depending on your plan
  • Use variations — "Account Executive", "Sales Manager", "Business Development"
  • Filter by location: on-site, hybrid, remote, or specific city
  • Our AI matches similar titles so you don't miss relevant openings
  • Set it once — saved searches re-run automatically
03

Live Results

Get Real-Time Openings

We search every company's career page live and return matching openings in seconds — pulled directly from the source.

  • Results come straight from company career pages — not aggregated job board data
  • See job title, location, department, and direct link for every opening
  • No stale listings — every result is verified live at search time
  • Set up email alerts to be notified the moment a new role appears
  • Export results to track your pipeline

  • Customize your resume summary to match the specific job description

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How is this different from searching Google for jobs?

Google surfaces whatever ranks in search — often outdated aggregator pages, not the actual company posting. DirectHireAI goes directly to each company's career page and pulls live, current openings with a single search across all your target companies simultaneously.

Do I need to upload my resume to get started?

No — you can start searching immediately with just your email. Upload your resume when you're ready to use the AI tailoring and cover letter features. The free trial gives you 5 searches to explore before committing.

What if a company I want isn't in your database?

You can suggest companies to add, and our team reviews additions regularly. We also support searching by company URL for companies not yet in our database.

How do job alerts work?

Save any search and enable email alerts. We re-run your search automatically and notify you the moment a new matching role appears — so you're always among the first to apply.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — you get a 5-day free trial with full access. After that, our free tier gives you 5 searches per month to keep exploring at no cost. Paid plans start at $29/month.
