MemClaw for Job Seekers: Track Applications, Prep Interviews, and Stay Organized
MemClaw gives Claude persistent memory for your job search — company research, interview prep, and application tracking that carries across every session.
Job searching is a project management problem. You're tracking 10-20 companies simultaneously, each at a different stage — initial research, application submitted, first round done, final interview pending. Each company needs different preparation, and the context for each conversation is completely different.
Without memory, every Claude session starts from zero. You re-explain which companies you're targeting, what stage you're at with each, and what happened in the last interview. Claude gives generic advice because it doesn't know your specific situation.
MemClaw gives Claude persistent memory for your job search.
Setting Up Your Job Search Workspace
Install MemClaw on Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add Felo-Inc/memclaw
/plugin install memclaw@memclaw
Set your API key:
export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Create your workspace:
Create a workspace called Job Search
Seed it with your profile and targets:
Add to workspace: I'm a senior backend engineer with 6 years of experience.
Primary stack: Go, Postgres, Kubernetes. Looking for staff or senior roles at
Series B+ startups or mid-size tech companies. Target base: $200-230K.
Open to remote or SF/NYC. Not interested in fintech or crypto.
Add to workspace: Target companies —
- Notion (applied 2026-03-28, response pending)
- Linear (phone screen done 2026-04-02, technical round scheduled 2026-04-10)
- Vercel (researching, not yet applied)
- Figma (referred by Alex, emailing hiring manager this week)
- Stripe (strong interest, waiting for role to open)
Add to workspace: Strengths to emphasize —
large-scale distributed systems (led migration from monolith to microservices at last company),
cross-team collaboration (worked closely with product on 3 major features),
mentorship (grew eng team from 4 to 12 over 2 years)
That's the foundation. Every session from here loads this context automatically.
Daily Job Search Workflow with MemClaw
Interview preparation:
Load the Job Search workspace
I have a technical interview with Linear tomorrow.
What do we know about where that process stands?
Help me prep for their system design round.
Claude reads the workspace — knows you're a backend engineer targeting senior roles, knows the Linear process is at the technical round, knows your strengths. It gives preparation specific to your profile and where the conversation actually is.
Post-interview debrief:
Load the Job Search workspace
Technical interview with Linear done. Went well on system design (distributed caching question),
struggled a bit on the coding section (dynamic programming). Next round is a VP of Engineering
conversation. Update workspace.
Add to workspace: Linear technical round — 2026-04-10.
System design went well. Coding section weak area: dynamic programming.
VP convo scheduled for 2026-04-17.
The debrief is saved. Next time you prep for Linear, Claude knows exactly what happened in the last round and what to focus on.
Researching new companies:
Load the Job Search workspace
I'm researching Vercel as a potential target. Based on my profile and targets,
does this make sense? What should I focus on in my application?
Claude knows your background, your target parameters, what you're looking for. It gives an assessment specific to you — not generic career advice.
Offer comparison:
Load the Job Search workspace
I have offers from Notion ($215K base + 0.3% equity) and a mid-stage startup
($195K base + 0.8% equity). Help me think through this.
Claude knows your priorities — the salary target you logged, your preferences, what you care about. It gives comparison analysis grounded in your actual situation.

Multi-Stage Tracking
The value of MemClaw for job searching is tracking the full complexity of a multi-company, multi-stage process without losing context.
After three weeks of active searching:
- 5 companies in active process, each at a different stage
- 8 companies researched and deprioritized with reasoning logged
- 12 behavioral stories catalogued with which interview types they fit

Load the workspace and Claude can immediately tell you where each process stands, what to focus on next, and how to prepare for the specific company and stage you're at.
