Mashalot AI, an invite-only AI-powered job search platform, is tackling application fatigue by automating the process for U.S. job seekers. The agent aggregates fresh listings from LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Indeed, crafts customized resumes and cover letters for each role, and submits up to 500 applications in just 5 minutes - leveling the playing field for students, early-career professionals, and those in transition while booking interviews directly into Google Calendar.
Job hunting has become exhaustive, with seekers navigating multiple boards, customizing documents manually, and facing low response rates amid hundreds of applicants. This disproportionately impacts newcomers lacking polished networks or materials, leading to burnout and missed chances. Mashalot AI disrupts this by personalizing applications at scale, ensuring candidates stand out without the grind. "As a founder, my purpose has always been to serve others, and helping people get back to work faster is at the heart of our company," said John Marino, CEO and Co-Founder of Mashalot AI. "We built this platform to take the stress out of job searching and to give every candidate, student, professional, or person in transition a real chance to be seen and hired."
The platform pulls listings instantly, generates role-specific resumes and letters, and submits en masse—bypassing generic templates. It then monitors responses, handles follow-ups, and calendars interviews, slashing time from applications to offers. Early user Ross Meisner shared: "Watching my son land his first job interview within 30 minutes of applying was incredible. The platform not only created a custom resume and cover letter for him but also secured an interview request that same afternoon. It's clear Mashalot AI is changing the way young people break into the job market."
Beyond individuals, Mashalot AI collaborates with counties, state agencies, high schools, and universities to expedite workforce re-entry and first-job placements. By connecting education, development, and employers, it fosters inclusive growth in a competitive market.
Mashalot AI redefines job searching as efficient and equitable, empowering users to focus on opportunities rather than obstacles in the U.S. workforce.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mashalot AI is redefining the job search with an AI-driven platform that creates custom resumes and cover letters, applies to hundreds of roles in minutes, and books interviews automatically. The company was co-founded by John Marino, a 25+ year entrepreneur in publishing, marketing, electric car rental, and AI consulting, and Himanshu Laiker, a MedTech leader, University of Minnesota Executive in Residence, and 2024 MN Cup Mentor of the Year, a program of the Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship at the Minnesota Carlson School of Management. Together, they are on a mission to help job seekers, schools, and workforce agencies get people hired faster.
