Which boards support which route
The four ways to apply, which job sites use each one, why some sites can be filled in but not sent, and which sites we refuse to automate.
Every job shows how you can apply (we call this the "route"), and why, before you press anything. There are four routes.
| Route | What happens | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Sent for you | Submitted directly on the board | Boards that accept a direct submission |
| Filled for you | Opened in a real tab, filled, left for you to send | Boards with a form adapter |
| By hand, with help | A copy-out screen in the board's own field order | Everywhere else |
| Refused | No step runs | The refused list below |
Boards with a form adapter
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee. These can be filled, by the extension on a page you are on and by a queued run.
Boards that can be submitted without you
Greenhouse.
This list is shorter on purpose. Filling in a form reliably is not the same as sending it reliably. We only offer sending on sites where we have tested it on real job ads. Where filling works but sending is not tested, we fill in the form and you send it.
The refused list
| Board | Why |
|---|---|
| Automating it risks your own account, so it is blocked and no step runs there | |
| Indeed | Forbids automated applying |
| Workday | Needs employer-issued credentials no third party can hold |
| SuccessFactors | Needs an account of its own |
| iCIMS | Needs an account of its own |
| Taleo | Needs an account of its own |
These are choices we made on purpose, not missing features. We check the same list in three places: when we show how to apply, before a tab opens, and in the extension when it reaches the page.
What the routes mean for a real search
Across all our jobs, most cannot be sent automatically by anyone. Most need a person in a browser. Many can be filled in by software, and a smaller number accept an application sent directly. So nobody can build a tool that applies to everything automatically. What we can do: send what can be sent, fill in what can be filled, and lay out the rest for you to paste.
The document does not care
You can tailor your resume for any job ad you can read, even on sites we refuse to automate. The route only decides how the application is sent, not whether you get a tailored resume.
For those, use apply by hand on a manual board.
Questions about this
Why can Lever be filled but not submitted?
Because sending has only been verified on boards where it was measured against a live posting. A board whose form fills reliably is not automatically a board whose submit step has been proved.
What does refused mean?
A decision that stays. Either the application sits behind an account the employer issues, or the board forbids automation.
Is the list of supported boards growing?
New form adapters get written. The refused list is a different thing and is not a backlog.
What happens on a board with no adapter at all?
You get the tailored document and the copy-out screen, laid out in that board's own order, and you paste it in.
Check the route before you queue
Every job shows how you can apply before you press anything. That line is our promise, and the extension checks the same list.
