How do you improve my ATS score?

We use AI to cross-reference your base resume with the specific job description you're applying for. We extract the exact keywords and phrases the employer is looking for and weave them naturally into your experience, bullet points, and summary, often improving ATS match scores by 30-40%.

What exactly does a job application service do?

We handle the entire application process on your behalf: scouting relevant positions, tailoring your resume and cover letter for each job, completing application forms, submitting everything, and tracking results. You provide your base resume and preferences; we do the rest.

Which job boards do you submit applications to?

We apply across all major platforms including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, company career pages, Greenhouse portals, Workday portals, Lever, iCIMS, and niche industry boards. If a job is posted online and matches your profile, we'll find it and apply.

Do you support applications to Workday and Greenhouse portals?

Yes. Our team is experienced with every major ATS portal including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo, SuccessFactors, and BambooHR. We fill out each portal's unique forms correctly and completely — no shortcuts or bot-filled fields.

Can I specify companies I want to target or avoid?

Absolutely. During onboarding you can provide a target company list, an exclusion list (e.g., your current employer), preferred industries, company size preferences, and any other criteria. We'll respect these filters on every application.

Do you write different cover letters for each application?

Yes. Every cover letter is tailored to the specific job description and company. We reference the company's mission, the role's key requirements, and your most relevant experience. No two cover letters are the same.

How is this different from auto-apply bots like LazyApply?

Auto-apply bots submit identical, generic applications at mass scale. They often get flagged by ATS systems, lead to LinkedIn account bans, and produce near-zero interview rates. We combine AI-powered resume tailoring with human quality checks — every application is customized and submitted properly through official channels.

What industries do you specialize in?

We serve job seekers across all industries including technology, finance, healthcare, consulting, marketing, engineering, data science, product management, design, and more. Our AI adapts to industry-specific keywords and hiring patterns.

Can executive-level candidates use this service?

Yes. We serve candidates at all levels from entry-level to C-suite. For senior and executive roles, we focus on targeted, high-quality applications with emphasis on leadership achievements, board-level language, and executive-specific platforms.

Do you apply to remote-only positions?

Yes. You can set your preferences to remote-only, hybrid, on-site, or any combination. We filter every job listing against your location and work arrangement preferences before applying.

Can I target specific cities or regions?

Absolutely. You can specify one or multiple target cities, states, or regions. We'll only apply to positions within your geographic preferences, including remote roles with specific location requirements.

Do you apply to internships and entry-level positions?

Yes. We have plans and workflows optimized for students, new graduates, and career starters. We understand the unique challenges of breaking into the job market with limited experience and tailor applications accordingly.

Do you do LinkedIn optimization as well?

Our core service focuses on job applications. However, our Resume + Cover Letter plans include resume tailoring that naturally improves your LinkedIn profile content. For dedicated LinkedIn optimization, our team can provide guidance during onboarding.

Are there any hidden fees or commissions?

None. We charge a flat subscription fee based on your chosen plan. We do not take a percentage of your salary or charge any placement fees if you get hired. You keep 100% of your earnings.

How much does the service cost?

Our plans start at $149/month for 500 applications (Cover Letter Only). Resume + Cover Letter plans start at $249/month. We also offer discounted 3-month and 6-month packages. Visit our pricing section for full details.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not seeing improved results within the first 30 days, contact our support team and we'll work with you to adjust your strategy or process a refund on a case-by-case basis.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan mid-cycle?

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the price difference will be prorated. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle. Contact support or manage your plan from the billing dashboard.

Do you take a percentage of my salary if I get hired?

Never. We are not a staffing agency or recruiter. We charge only the flat subscription fee — no placement fees, no salary commissions, no hidden charges. Your salary is 100% yours.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a set of free tools including our ATS Resume Checker, Interview Predictor, and Resume Roast that you can use without signing up. For the full application service, our Starter plan lets you experience the quality of our work from day one.

How does the onboarding process work?

After signing up, you upload your base resume and fill out a short preferences form (target roles, industries, locations, salary range, companies to avoid). Our team reviews your profile within 24 hours and begins scouting and applying to matching positions.

How fast will I start seeing applications submitted?

Most clients see their first batch of tailored applications submitted within 24-48 hours of completing onboarding. We ramp up to full speed within the first week as we refine your targeting preferences.

What proof do I get for each application?

You receive confirmation for every application submitted, including the company name, job title, submission date, and the tailored resume and cover letter used. All records are available in your dashboard.

How do I track my application progress?

Your dashboard shows every application we've submitted in real time — company, role, date, status, and the documents used. You can filter, search, and export your application history at any time.

Can I review applications before they're submitted?

By default, we submit applications as soon as they're optimized to maximize speed and volume. However, if you prefer to review each application before submission, you can enable a review mode in your dashboard settings.

Can I have multiple resumes for different roles?

Yes. If you're targeting different types of roles (e.g., Product Manager and Business Analyst), you can upload multiple base resumes. Our AI will select and tailor the most appropriate version for each application.

What file format should my resume be in?

We accept PDF and DOCX formats. PDF is preferred for consistent formatting. When we tailor your resume for each application, we ensure the output format is ATS-compatible for the specific portal being used.

How many virtual assistants work on my account?

Each account is managed by a dedicated team that handles your applications. Our AI does the heavy lifting for resume tailoring and keyword optimization, while human reviewers ensure quality before submission.

Do you guarantee I will get a job?

While we can't guarantee a job (as interview performance is up to you), we do guarantee an increase in your interview rate. By dramatically increasing the volume and quality of your applications, our clients typically see 3-5x more interview invitations within their first three months.

What interview rate can I expect?

Our clients typically see a 15-25% interview rate on tailored applications, compared to the industry average of 2-5% for self-submitted applications. Results vary by industry, experience level, and market conditions.

How many applications do you submit per month?

Depending on your plan, we submit 500 to 3,000+ applications per billing cycle. Each application is individually tailored to the job description — this isn't mass spam. The volume ensures comprehensive market coverage.

What if I get hired before my plan ends?

Congratulations! You can cancel anytime from your dashboard. If you're on a prepaid multi-month plan and get hired early, contact support to discuss prorated options.

Can I see sample tailored resumes before signing up?

Yes. Use our free ATS Resume Checker tool to see how we analyze and score resumes. The tailoring approach we use for paid applications follows the same optimization methodology, applied to every individual job description.

Do you support H1B visa sponsorship job searches?

Yes. We maintain a database of companies known to sponsor H1B visas and can prioritize applications to those employers. We also optimize your resume to highlight authorization status appropriately without triggering bias in ATS filters.

Can F1 OPT students use this service?

Absolutely. We help F1 students on OPT and STEM OPT find sponsorship-friendly employers, optimize resumes for US employers, and navigate the unique timeline pressure of work authorization deadlines.

Do you help with international job searches outside the US?

Our primary focus is the US job market. However, if you're targeting US-based remote roles from abroad or preparing to relocate, we can help. For non-US job markets, our tools are available globally even though our managed service focuses on US employers.

Can you target companies that are known to sponsor work visas?

Yes. We use public H1B filing data and our own employer database to identify and prioritize companies with active visa sponsorship programs. You can set sponsorship-required as a filter in your preferences.

What happens if I run out of application credits?

If you hit your application limit before the month ends, you can easily top up your credits from your dashboard. However, our plans are designed to provide ample volume for an aggressive job search.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, our service is completely month-to-month unless you explicitly choose to prepay for a multi-month package. You can cancel your subscription from your billing dashboard with two clicks.

Can I pause my subscription?

Yes. If you need to take a break (e.g., you're in final interview rounds and don't need new applications), you can pause your subscription from the dashboard. Unused credits carry over when you resume.

How is my personal data secured?

We use industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Your resume and personal information are stored securely on Supabase with row-level security. We never sell your data to third parties and you can request complete data deletion at any time.

Can I request re-submissions if a job listing is updated?

Yes. If you notice a job listing has been updated with new requirements, let us know through your dashboard and we'll re-tailor and re-submit your application with an updated resume.

Resume Tips

Stop Sounding Like Everyone Else: 50 Resume Buzzwords to Delete Now

Are you a "hard-working team player with a proven track record"? If so, your resume is putting recruiters to sleep. Here are the buzzwords ruining your application and what to use instead.

March 6, 20269 min read

Recruiters read thousands of resumes a month. Do you know what happens when they read the phrase *"detail-oriented team player"* for the 400th time that day? Their eyes glaze over, and your application goes into the discard pile.

Buzzwords and clichés take up valuable real estate on your resume while communicating absolutely nothing of value. Here are the worst offenders you need to delete right now, and how to replace them with action.

The "Fluff" Adjectives (Delete Immediately)

These words are purely subjective opinions about yourself. You cannot prove them, so employers ignore them.

*Hard-working*
*Passionate*
*Detail-oriented*
*Self-starter*
*Team player*
*Dynamic*
*Results-driven*

The Fix: Don't *tell* them you are a hard worker; *show* them. Instead of "Results-driven sales rep," use "Generated $1.2M in net new revenue in Q4, exceeding quota by 140%." The numbers prove the adjective.

The Weak Verbs (Upgrade These)

Language matters. Weak verbs make your contributions sound passive.

*Helped with...*
*Assisted in...*
*Responsible for...*
*Worked on...*
*Tasked with...*

The Fix: Use powerful, active "Action Verbs."

Instead of "Helped with new software launch" ➡️ Spearheaded new software launch.
Instead of "Responsible for team budget" ➡️ Managed $500k departmental budget.
Instead of "Worked on customer complaints" ➡️ Resolved 50+ tier-3 escalations weekly.

The Corporate Jargon (Simplify)

Using big words doesn't make you sound smarter; it makes you sound like a corporate robot.

*Synergize*
*Paradigm shift*
*Think outside the box*
*Leverage*
*Wheelhouse*

The Fix: Speak like a normal human being. "Leveraged synergies to optimize workflows" means nothing. "Combined the sales and marketing databases to reduce data-entry time by 10 hours a week" means you get hired.

Find Your Clichés Automatically

Not sure if your resume is full of fluff? We built an AI tool specifically to hunt down weak phrasing.

Upload your resume to our Free Buzzword Detector. Our AI will scan your document, highlight every cliché, passive verb, and piece of corporate jargon it finds, and suggest powerful, action-oriented alternatives.
