Honest match scores — free
Explainable fit breakdown on every job before you upgrade. We don't hide whether a role fits behind a paywall.
Mission
Built by a developer in the job search
Senior iOS & React Native engineer · AI
Jason Jardim
- ✓First developer hire at Life360 — there from early mobile through the IPO five years later
- ✓Engineering manager at Intel, leading teams on large-scale software
- ✓Indie iOS developer — several apps reached the App Store top 10
- ✓Fourteen years across Swift, React Native, Expo, and TypeScript product work
Jason Jardim has spent fourteen years building software — mostly on mobile, where polish and trust actually matter. He was Life360’s first developer hire and stayed through the IPO five years later; later led engineering at Intel; and still ships indie iOS apps, a few of which have landed in the App Store top 10. When a role ended and the job search started, the gap between “good engineering” and “good job-search tooling” was hard to ignore.
Most apply products optimize for volume: spray submissions, hide match quality behind paywalls, or auto-submit applications you never reviewed. Jason Jardim built Greenlit the way a senior engineer would want to use it — explainable scores, materials grounded in your real resume, automation that stops before submit, and interview signal from actual recruiter replies.
Greenlit is a real product from someone in the same job hunt — not a growth hack wrapped in AI buzzwords.
Why Greenlit
We lead on trust — and price it fairly
Unemployment is stressful enough without $40–80/month tools that blur the line between “autofill” and “auto-submit.” Greenlit keeps honest match scores and comp breakdowns on the free tier. We charge for frequency and power tools — unlimited search, AI tailoring, Gmail reply sync, and Playwright fill — not for telling you whether a job fits.
Pro is priced at $29/month because job search shouldn’t require a second subscription the size of Netflix plus Spotify. Most tools in this space charge similar or more while optimizing for apply volume — not whether each application represents you well.
If you’re between roles, the free tier is meant to be genuinely usable: daily searches, AI scoring with visible fit breakdowns, profile setup, and manual pipeline tracking. Upgrade when speed matters, not because we hid the truth.
The Greenlit difference
Trust-first job search — not apply spam
Most tools autofill forms or blast applications. Greenlit scores every job honestly, tailors from your real resume, fills Greenhouse and Lever, and stops before submit — with Gmail reply tracking most competitors don't offer at any price.
Pro · $29/mo · free tier keeps match quality visible
You submit — never the bot
Playwright fills forms, then stops for your review. No silent auto-submit that misrepresents you.
Gmail reply tracking
Recruiter replies matched to your applications — interview invites and rejections update your pipeline automatically.
Resume-grounded AI
Cover letters and tailoring rephrase your real experience — no invented employers, degrees, or metrics.
Score → tailor → fill → greenlight
One pipeline from job discovery to application review. Most tools only autofill forms or blast volume.
Pro at $29/month
Unlimited search, AI, fill, and Gmail sync — priced for people between roles, not enterprise budgets.
