Auto Job Apply — Let AI Surface Matching Jobs While You Focus on Preparing

This tool finds job listings that match your preferences so you're not spending hours on job boards. You review the matches, decide which to apply to, and track them in Job Tracker. The AI handles the searching; you handle the applying.

1

Open Auto Job Apply in AI Career Tools

In the sidebar, expand AI Career Tools and click Auto Job Apply. You'll see a setup wizard that walks you through defining your job preferences before any matching begins.

  • Auto Job Apply finds listings that match your criteria — it doesn't submit applications on your behalf. You review every match and decide whether to apply.
  • All matched jobs can be sent to Job Tracker for full lifecycle management.
2

Set Up Your Profile — Target Roles and Preferred Locations

Enter the roles you're targeting, separated by commas. Then specify your preferred locations. Be as specific or broad as you want — "San Francisco" or "United States" or "Remote."

  • Use multiple role titles to cast a wider net: "Software Engineer, Backend Developer, Platform Engineer."
  • Location preferences are matched against job listing locations, so match the format companies typically use.
  • If you're open to relocation, add both your current city and cities you'd move to.
3

Set Remote Preference, Salary Range, and Experience Level

Choose whether you want Remote, Hybrid, On-site, or Any. Set your minimum acceptable salary and your experience level (Entry, Mid, Senior, Lead, etc.).

  • The salary filter removes listings below your minimum, saving you time reviewing irrelevant matches.
  • Experience level filters help avoid listings that are clearly too junior or too senior for you.
  • Choosing "Any" for remote preference broadens your matches significantly.
4

Add Industries to Target and Companies to Exclude

Optionally narrow by industry: FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, E-commerce, etc. Also add any companies you want excluded — former employers, companies with bad Glassdoor reviews, or places you've already been rejected from.

  • Industry targeting helps if you have domain expertise you want to leverage.
  • The exclude list is useful if you keep seeing the same companies and want fresh matches.
  • Both fields are optional. Leaving them blank matches across all industries and companies.
5

Set a Daily Match Limit

Choose how many job matches you want to receive per day. Five to ten per day is manageable. More than 20 becomes overwhelming and leads to lower-quality review on your end.

  • Start with 5–10 per day and adjust based on how many are actually relevant.
  • Quality matters more than quantity — a smaller, well-curated list is easier to act on.
  • You can change the daily limit at any time from the Auto Job Apply settings.
6

Click Start to Activate Matching

Once your preferences are set, click Start. The AI begins scanning job listings in the background and delivering matches that fit your criteria.

  • New matches appear in the Matches tab, sorted by relevance score.
  • Each match shows the company, role, location, salary (if listed), and a relevance score.
  • Matching runs daily — you'll get a fresh batch each day until you pause or stop.
7

Review Matched Listings in the Matches Tab

Open the Matches tab to see your daily job matches. Click any listing to see the full description, requirements, and a link to the original posting.

  • Each match includes a relevance score — higher scores indicate better alignment with your preferences.
  • Click "Save to Tracker" to add a match to your Job Tracker for follow-up.
  • Click "Not Interested" to dismiss a match and help the AI refine future results.
  • The more you provide feedback (save or dismiss), the better the matching becomes.
8

Change a Job's Status as You Progress

When you apply to a matched job, update its status. You can do this inline from the Matches tab or in Job Tracker if you've already saved it there.

  • Status options: Saved, Applied, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer, Rejected, Withdrawn.
  • Status updates sync between Auto Job Apply and Job Tracker automatically.
  • Tracking status helps you maintain a clear picture of your active pipeline.
9

Pause or Stop at Any Time from the Header

Click the Pause button in the header to temporarily suspend matching (your preferences are preserved). Click Stop to end the current matching cycle entirely.

  • Pausing is useful when you have too many active applications and need to catch up before receiving more matches.
  • Stopping and restarting resets the matching cycle with your current preferences.
  • You won't lose any previous matches — they stay in your history.

Quick Tips

  • Be specific with role titles. "Software Engineer" matches thousands of listings. "Senior Backend Engineer" is much more targeted.
  • Use the exclude list proactively. Remove companies you've already applied to so you don't waste time on duplicates.
  • Review matches daily rather than letting them pile up. A week-old job listing may already be filled.
  • Dismiss irrelevant matches — the AI uses your feedback to improve future matching quality.
  • Combine Auto Job Apply with Resume Builder: enhance your resume for each job before applying to maximize your ATS score.
