RoleRank + Poke: the best-ranked new roles in your morning texts

RoleRank ranks new job openings against your résumé and links to the original posting. Poke lives in your text messages and can bring the top matches to a thread you already read, and answer questions about a role before you apply. Here is what works today and what to check first.

RoleRank ranks new openings against your résumé, and Poke lives in the text thread you already check each morning. Here is how to bring them together.

Key takeaways

The short version.

  • RoleRank compares new openings with your résumé, ranks them by fit and gives reasons, gaps to check and a link to the original posting. It never applies for you.
  • Poke's docs describe an assistant that lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp and RCS, and that manages email, reminders and web search. That makes it a natural place for a short morning list.
  • Poke's docs say it supports custom MCP servers, added at poke.com/integrations/new or with a command-line tool, so you can try adding the app's address yourself.
  • A fallback works today with no connection: forward or paste the RoleRank list to Poke and ask your questions about a role there. Whether Poke checks RoleRank on its own each morning is untested.
  • Nothing here is an official integration. No tool can promise an interview or an offer, and you read the real posting and apply yourself.

Who it is for

Who is this pairing for?

  • It is for people who are job hunting and live in their text messages: someone changing roles, returning to work, or checking the market…

  • RoleRank reads your résumé once, then ranks new openings by how well they match your actual experience.

  • Poke is an AI assistant that, according to its docs, lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp and RCS.

It is for people who are job hunting and live in their text messages: someone changing roles, returning to work, or checking the market each morning without wanting to open several job boards.

RoleRank reads your résumé once, then ranks new openings by how well they match your actual experience. Its sources include official Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters boards for companies you add, plus broader public listings, with duplicates removed by apply link. New openings are checked once a day and whenever you ask, so it is not a live feed.

Poke is an AI assistant that, according to its docs, lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp and RCS. Its homepage describes it as proactive, private, personal and right in your texts. RoleRank says which roles fit and why, and Poke can bring that to a thread you already read.

Use cases

4 ways people use RoleRank + Poke.

  1. Morning list

    1. A morning list of the best-ranked new roles

    Ask Poke to check RoleRank each morning and text you the title, why it fits and the link for the top few roles. Poke's docs say it can set reminders, so a daily request is the kind of thing it is built for.

    Whether Poke runs that request by itself on a schedule is untested. Try it for a few days and see what arrives before you rely on it. RoleRank's free plan includes a Today's five list, a good size for a text.

  2. Ask first

    2. Ask about a role before you apply

    Reply in the same thread with a question about one role: what the posting asks for, or which of your skills it leans on. Ask Poke to answer using only what RoleRank returned and the posting itself.

    Treat the answer as a starting point. AI replies can contain mistakes, so check them against the original posting.

  3. Fit and gaps

    3. See the gaps as well as the fit

    Each match shows why it fits and what the posting asks for that your résumé does not show. Ask Poke to include one line of each per role.

    The gaps are for you to weigh. Some are small, some are a real mismatch, and you know which is which.

  4. Same thread

    4. Use it with the rest of your job search

    Poke's docs say it manages email, reminders and web search. After you pick a role, you can ask it to remind you to apply by a date or to look up background on the company.

    The application itself stays with you. Neither Poke nor RoleRank should apply, fill in forms or send your résumé for you.

How to

How do I use RoleRank with Poke?

  1. Step 1

    Sign up at [rolerank.me](https://rolerank.me) and upload your résumé. The remote MCP address is https://rolerank.me/mcp. Listing tools needs no key, but using them does.

  2. Step 2

    Open the Connector tab in your RoleRank account and create a key. Save it somewhere safe.

  3. Step 3

    Open [poke.com/integrations/new](https://poke.com/integrations/new), enter a name, paste the address as the MCP Server URL, add the key as the API key and click Create Integration. The CLI works too: npx poke@latest mcp add <url> -n "Name" -k "<key>".

  4. Step 4

    Ask Poke for your top-ranked roles today, then ask it to text you a short list each morning. Check the first few messages.

  5. Step 5

    Fallback that works today: forward or paste the RoleRank list to Poke and ask your questions about a role there.

Poke's docs describe custom MCP servers and say it sends a configured API key as an Authorization header. Whether RoleRank's key fits that field is untested, and so is whether Poke checks RoleRank on its own schedule. RoleRank is not listed in Poke or built into it. Poke's FAQ says most features are free, with paid tiers, so check its pages for what your plan includes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is RoleRank an official Poke integration?

No. There is no partnership, listing or built-in integration. Poke's docs describe adding custom MCP servers, so you may try adding the app's address yourself.

Will Poke text me the list every morning by itself?

That is untested. Poke can set reminders, but whether it checks RoleRank on its own schedule is not confirmed. Try it for a few days, or forward the list yourself.

What if I cannot connect it?

Forward or paste the RoleRank list to Poke and ask your questions there. You can also open RoleRank yourself each morning.

Will Poke apply to jobs for me?

It should not, and RoleRank does not either. RoleRank ranks roles and links to the original posting. You decide whether to apply and you send everything yourself.

What does it cost?

The apps are free during the beta, and RoleRank's free plan includes ranking whenever you ask, Today's five, reasons, gaps and apply links. Poke says most features are free with paid tiers, so check its pages.
