Automation2026

Job Search & Direct-Apply Engine

Finds roles, fills the forms, and only pages me when a human is needed

Results

  • ✓Applications go out on a schedule instead of in bursts
  • ✓I only look at the postings that actually need me
  • ✓Every attempt is logged, so nothing is applied to twice

The Situation

  • •Every applicant tracking system has its own form, so applying is the same work repeated
  • •The useful part of a job search is judgment, not typing
  • •Volume matters, but a bad automated application is worse than none

The System

  • •Discovery across job boards, queued through a task broker three times a day
  • •An ATS detector that works out which system a posting runs on
  • •A per-ATS adapter that fills the form the way that system expects
  • •An escalation path that pages me when a posting needs a real decision

How it runs

Three scheduled runs a day. It detects which applicant tracking system a posting uses, routes to the matching adapter, and pages me the moment a posting needs a real decision.

  • Add adapters as new applicant tracking systems show up
  • Feed reply outcomes back into which roles are worth pursuing
