Where it works

LinkedIn, and the careers sites
its jobs lead to.

The Aplies Agent searches LinkedIn and applies through LinkedIn Easy Apply. Turn on company websites and it also follows a job's Apply button to the employer's own careers site and applies there. It searches no other job board.

At a glance

Where does the Agent apply?

On LinkedIn Easy Apply from the start, and on company careers sites only if you turn them on. You pay only for applications it submits; if it stops before submitting, it costs nothing.

LinkedIn Easy Apply
Searches LinkedIn for your job titles and places, scores every job, then fills in and submits LinkedIn's Easy Apply form for each job at or above your minimum.
1 credit
On by default
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters
Follows a job's Apply button to the careers site, uploads your CV, fills in the form and submits it.
2 credits
Off by default
Workday
Supported by name, but most Workday sites want a candidate account first. The Agent never creates one, so it usually stops there and leaves the tab open for you.
2 credits
Off by default
Any other careers site
A general engine reads the page, finds the application form and fills it in. Many sites work; not every one does.
2 credits
Off by default
Other job boards
Not searched. The Agent finds jobs on LinkedIn only, not on Indeed, Glassdoor or any other board.

LinkedIn

How does it apply on LinkedIn?

Press Start and the Agent opens its own LinkedIn tab in the background. You don't need to open LinkedIn first, but you need to be signed in to LinkedIn in that Chrome. It searches each job title, place by place, newest jobs first, and gives every job an AI match score out of 100. It opens only the jobs at or above your minimum.

  • It works through the Easy Apply form, up to 10 steps: contact details, CV, screening questions, review, submit.
  • On the CV step it picks your CV if LinkedIn already holds it under the same file name. If not, it uses a résumé already in your LinkedIn account, and uploads your CV file only when there is none.
  • On the review step it unticks “Follow <company>”, then submits on its own after a short pause. There is no approval step.
  • If the form rejects an answer, it reads the form's error, corrects the answer and tries once more. If that fails too, it stops and records the form's reason.

Company careers sites

How does it apply on a company's careers site?

Only once you turn it on: applying on company websites is off by default. Choose “LinkedIn + company websites” in setup, or switch on “Apply on company websites” later in Settings → General. Chrome then asks you once for access to sites.

  • With it on, the Agent searches all of LinkedIn's jobs, not only Easy Apply ones. A job with Easy Apply still goes through Easy Apply; a job whose Apply button leads to the employer goes there.
  • It opens the careers page in a background tab, uploads your CV, fills in up to 10 pages and submits. The tab is closed afterwards, unless the job needs you.
  • If you saved a cover letter or portfolio under “Other documents” in setup, it attaches it when the form asks for that document by name. A required document you haven't saved comes back to you.
  • When it isn't sure of a required question, it asks you on the page. An optional field it isn't sure of is left as it is.

A company-site application costs 2 credits and an Easy Apply 1 credit, each charged only once it is submitted.

On a careers form, the Agent asks about the required questions it isn't sure of.

Careers sites

Which careers sites does it support?

Five by name, and a general engine for every other site. Supported by name means the Agent has its own handling for that system's forms.

  • Greenhouse

    Supported by name

  • Lever

    Supported by name

  • Ashby

    Supported by name

  • SmartRecruiters

    Supported by name

Workday

Account wall

Most Workday sites ask for a candidate account before they show the form. The Agent never creates one: it stops, leaves the tab open and tells you.

Every other careers site

General engine

The Agent reads the page and finds the application form itself. It costs the same as a named site, and a site it can't read costs nothing.

On every site

What won't it do?

The same rules hold on LinkedIn and on every careers site.

  • Create an account

    It never signs up for anything on an employer's site. At a sign-in or account wall it stops, leaves the tab open for you and tells you.

  • Type a password

    It never asks for or stores your LinkedIn password, and never types a password on a company site. It works inside the LinkedIn session you are already signed into.

  • Solve a security check

    On LinkedIn, a CAPTCHA or verification stops the run. On a company site, that one job is skipped, nothing is charged, and the run goes on.

  • Send your details to an insecure page

    If a careers page isn't secure (plain http), the Agent doesn't send your details to it.

  • Search other job boards

    It finds jobs on LinkedIn only. Careers sites are reached from a LinkedIn job's Apply button, never searched on their own.

  • Make up a personal fact

    Date of birth, gender, nationality, phone and notice period come from your setup. If a form needs one the Agent doesn't have, it asks you; if no answer comes, it drops that job rather than guess.
