Job hunting in Czechia? Here's how AI tools can help give you an edge

Finding a job in a foreign country is rarely easy, though recent news that an ever-increasing number of companies in Czechia are seeking employees amid high vacancy rates bodes well if you’re looking for work in the country.

Although many fear that artificial intelligence (AI) may take current jobs, there are several ways you can actually harness it to make your hunt for new work easier. 

From crafting your CV and better understanding current Czech salary trends to scanning the country for jobs, AI’s rapid rise means that a host of new tools are available to help you land your ideal job in Czechia. We’ve picked out some of the most popular and effective.

The first step on your job search is having a CV, or resume, that boasts your entire skillset. Thankfully, AI can come in handy for this. 

Tools like Zety, Novoresume, and Canva use AI to format and optimize resumes for specific industries. Resume.io also offers professional templates and AI-driven tips to tailor your CV for specific jobs.

You can even compare your CV to other people in your industry: the Jobscan tool analyzes your CV and compares it to job descriptions to optimize your applications. ResyMatch.io highlights missing keywords and offers insights into making your CV more noticeable to recruiters.

Additionally, AI tools like Jasper or SurferSEO can help optimize personal blogs or portfolios to rank higher in search results.

The next stop is looking for available jobs. Using popular job-search platforms in Czechia—like LinkedIn, Jobs.cz, or Glassdoor—allows AI to help you find work. All these sites employ AI algorithms to suggest jobs tailored to your skills, experience, and preferences. 

Prace.cz provides AI-driven search filters to help narrow down job opportunities based on location, industry, and skillset, and StartupJobs.cz—focused on startups and small firms in Czechia—uses AI to match candidates with roles in dynamic, fast-growing companies. 

GoodCall, a recruitment agency in Czechia, also uses AI to match candidates with roles in technology, engineering, and other sectors.

Perplexity.ai also helpfully scans the web for any specific keywords or terms in job vacancies that you wish to apply for, helping you save potentially hours of your time.

Understanding the industry you’re applying to can improve your chances of finding work. Tools like MeetFrank, an AI-driven app, connect job seekers with companies in Czechia and the wider CEE region. 

Handily, it also provides insights into job market trends and salary expectations. 

Tools like Interviewing.io or Big Interview simulate job interviews, providing feedback on answers and delivery. The Vmock platform uses AI to analyze your interview responses and provide feedback. It can be tailored to Czech job market expectations.

Additionally, Notebook LM, a new AI tool developed by tech giant Google, helps you prepare for interviews by summarizing company data into digestible points and paragraphs. This is ideal if you want to impress employers. It can also synthesize data from your LinkedIn, CV, and personal insights into actionable feedback.

If you’re based in Czechia but looking for remote or freelancer-based work, a number of tools can also help with your search. 

RemoteOK uses AI to curate remote job listings tailored to your experience and preferences, and Freelancer.cz is a Czech-based freelance platform where AI matches you with projects that fit your skills. Upwork also uses AI to recommend remote projects and clients based on your profile, skills, and past work history.

AI is seemingly the future in Czechia—in 2023, Czech Labor Minister Marian Jurečka estimated that AI would create 520,000 new positions by 2030. To prepare for this, the Labor Ministry plans to train 130,000 people in digital technologies within the next year and a half.
