Search nearby job openings and apply to the ones you approve

Finds nearby job openings that match your criteria, then applies to the ones you approve.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each approved job listing; a person has to approve before it continues; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

You want a new job, but scrolling through listings every day and filling out the same application fields over and over wears you down. By the time you finish one form, another job you're qualified for has already filled up.

Who it fits

A job seeker who wants to apply to more local openings without doing every application by hand.

How it works

  1. The system searches nearby job listings that fit your profile
  2. It lists the matches with pay, location, and hours for you to review
  3. You approve the postings you want to apply to
  4. It submits your resume and details to each approved listing
  5. It flags any application that needs extra input from you
What you get

Job applications submitted while you sleep

You get matched to nearby openings that fit your criteria and can approve each one before it's submitted on your behalf.

What you get

Job applications submitted on your behalf, plus a list of openings still waiting on your input.

What you need

A saved resume profile and an account on the job site being searched.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
