— How it works

The whole loop,
from post to paycheck.

Freelanly is a five-step pipeline running 24/7. Here's what's actually happening between "new hiring post published" and "recruiter replies."

Step 01 — Discovery

Catch hiring posts before they hit the boards.

Every 3 hours, Freelanly scrapes LinkedIn for fresh "we're hiring a..." posts and crawls company career pages. Fresh roles land in your feed within hours — often before they hit the big boards.

  • Company career pages crawled every few hours
  • LinkedIn signal extraction — hiring manager posts, not just "Open to work"
  • Direct contact — the application email from the post, when one is listed

Step 02 — Smart matching

Filter in what you want.
Filter out the rest.

Matching runs on rules you set once. Stack, rate, role, location, language, deal-breaker keywords. Freelanly only surfaces a gig when every condition matches — so your feed is the handful worth applying to, not 200 you'd never take.

  • Positive & negative filters — keywords, tech stack, company type, location
  • Cover letter pre-written for every match — no blank page
  • You're in control — nothing goes out until you review and send

Step 03 — AI cover letter

A letter that sounds like you,
not a template.

The AI reads the full job post and writes a short application that references specifics from your real background — then a second AI reviewer critiques it against the job's requirements before you ever see it. No "I hope this email finds you well." No buzzwords.

  • Hooks from real specifics — they mentioned X? Your letter references X.
  • Reviewer pass — a second AI checks every draft against the job's requirements
  • Drafted in <2 seconds, but always editable

Subject: Re: hiring a React dev for the mobile sync engine
Hey Sarah,

Saw your post about hiring a React dev for your mobile sync engine. I shipped a similar offline-first conflict resolver last quarter for a messaging startup — happy to walk through how I'd approach the CRDT layer.

A couple of pieces from the portfolio that line up: alex.dev/plain-sync and alex.dev/notion-style-resolver. Both are public.

Open to a 20-minute call this week — flexible on your TZ.

Step 04 — Send & inbox

From your inbox.
Tracked end-to-end.

Connect your Gmail in one click and Freelanly sends as you, not from a bulk-mail domain. Sends are rate-limited to human cadence inside your business hours — it protects your sender reputation. Replies land back in a unified inbox.

  • Sends from your email — Gmail in one click (OAuth), or any inbox via SMTP app password
  • Human-cadence throttling protects your sender reputation
  • Unified inbox — replies route back, labeled by job & status

Step 05 — Tracking & replies

Know what happens
after you hit Send.

Every application is tracked: you see when it's opened and when a reply lands. Warm thread gone quiet? Nudge it yourself from your own inbox — it's your conversation.

  • Open tracking — see the moment a recruiter reads your application
  • Replies land in your own inbox — you answer directly, no middleman
  • Pipeline view of every application: sent → opened → replied
