4 ways to outsource job applications

A human assistant manually applies to jobs on your behalf.

• Can handle complex forms
• Works for any job board

Cons:

• Quality varies dramatically by person
• Slow (maybe 10-20 apps per day)
• Requires training and supervision
• No resume improvement included

Best for: Low volume, high-touch applications where you want human review

Option 2: Use a browser extension

Auto-apply extensions click buttons and fill forms in your browser.
