# Jobbjakt Product Evolution Plan
|
|
|
|
> Confirmed 2026-07-15. This document is the product decision record for the career-management evolution.
|
|
|
|
## Product position
|
|
|
|
Jobbjakt is a job-tracking and career-management product. The application workflow remains the core loop:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Discover opportunity -> Track application -> Prepare application -> Follow up -> Learn and progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Career profile, CV generation, cover letters, portfolio, interview preparation, and discovery support this loop. They must not displace it or turn Jobbjakt into a CV-builder-first product.
|
|
|
|
## Confirmed decisions
|
|
|
|
| Decision | Direction |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Primary discovery market | Nordics and Europe; global later |
|
|
| Discovery sources | Permitted provider APIs and existing URL capture; no scraping or browser extension in the first release |
|
|
| Career workspace | Dedicated top-level navigation item |
|
|
| Add-job flow | Wizard; create the application after job review, then keep preparation steps optional and resumable |
|
|
| Portfolio | Lightweight links and project items connected to the master career profile |
|
|
| AI | Retain local and online capability behind a provider boundary and explicit user controls |
|
|
| SaaS priority | Hosted subscriptions and feature entitlements before organisations/teams |
|
|
| Brand | Keep the Jobbjakt name |
|
|
|
|
## Target information architecture
|
|
|
|
| Area | Purpose | Initial destinations |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Dashboard | Daily direction | priorities, follow-ups, recent activity |
|
|
| Applications | Core tracker | list, board, companies, application workspace |
|
|
| Career Workspace | Reusable career source of truth | master profile, CV builder, portfolio, interview preparation |
|
|
| Discover Jobs | Find then act | provider search, saved searches later, import into tracker |
|
|
| Settings | Product preferences | general, follow-ups, notifications, connected accounts, data |
|
|
| Account | Identity and security | personal details, password, providers, sessions, 2FA |
|
|
|
|
## Delivery roadmap
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1 — Workflow clarity
|
|
|
|
1. Create the Career Workspace and move CV-facing functionality out of Account Profile.
|
|
2. Move Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP management to Settings > Connected Accounts.
|
|
3. Reorganise Settings: remove normal-user export/import controls, hide admin-only status controls, and improve follow-up explanations.
|
|
4. Simplify application workspace navigation into task-oriented sections.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2 — Application preparation
|
|
|
|
1. Replace the dense Add Job modal with a six-step wizard.
|
|
2. URL capture and extraction lead the flow; manual details remain an easy fallback.
|
|
3. Save the application after review; CV, cover letter, portfolio, and documents are explicitly optional.
|
|
4. Link job-specific CV copies and draft material to the application without mutating the master profile.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3 — Career workspace completion
|
|
|
|
1. Strengthen the structured master career profile: experience, education, skills, projects, certifications, languages, achievements, and portfolio links.
|
|
2. Turn the existing template system into a guided three-step CV builder: theme, preview/customise, save defaults.
|
|
3. Keep five professional templates and persisted visual preferences; add drag-and-drop ordering after the underlying configuration is durable.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 4 — Nordic/European discovery
|
|
|
|
1. Introduce a provider-adapter contract and a normalized result model.
|
|
2. Implement approved public/provider APIs beginning with Nordic sources; add European sources only when their terms permit product use.
|
|
3. Provide search, filters, source attribution, map/distance enrichment where data permits, and one-click import to the wizard.
|
|
4. Add fuzzy role matching locally through a role/skill synonym catalog before any external AI ranking.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 5 — Hosted SaaS foundations
|
|
|
|
1. Add account-level entitlement and usage records independent of a billing provider.
|
|
2. Gate premium themes, AI allowances, storage, and discovery quotas through policy checks.
|
|
3. Integrate a billing provider only after pricing, tax, trial, cancellation, and support policy decisions are recorded.
|
|
4. Move restart-sensitive CV processing to durable storage before multi-instance hosting.
|
|
|
|
## Success measures
|
|
|
|
- A new user can create a tracked application from a URL in under two minutes.
|
|
- A user can find their master profile, create a CV, and manage email connections without visiting Account Profile.
|
|
- Optional preparation never blocks capture of an opportunity.
|
|
- Every AI-generated output visibly states its source profile/job context and requires user review before it is saved or sent.
|
|
- Discovery always preserves source attribution and sends users to the original job advert to apply.
