Despite competition in the AI-powered job search market, Jobright believes it has found a niche among mid- to senior-level professionals seeking personalized job search strategies. Unlike LinkedIn and other job listing platforms, Jobright is designed to be "AI-native", with AI defining all aspects of the product. The startup, which raised $4.5 million in a funding round led by Lanchi Venture, plans to expand its user base outside the U.S. in the future.

- The startup has gained 50,000 registered users since its launch in April, with around 30% of its users being foreign workers.
- Jobright uses large language models to create an AI agent that acts as a personalized headhunter, interpreting candidates' experience and recommending jobs they might not have considered.
