Assisted Auto Apply
Discover and prepare applications on autopilot. You stay in control — every submit needs your manual approval.
Assisted, not silent
Auto Apply in MyCareerAtlas means continuous discovery, match against your Career Memory, and application preparation — not a bot that sprays résumés without you looking. The comparison page Auto Apply is the short argument. This page is how the feature actually runs.
Manual approval is the gate
Prepared applications land in Action Required. You review missing fields, confirm answers, and approve. Status only becomes Applied after a confirmed ATS submission you authorized — or after you answer “Did you apply?” when detection is unsure.
You can resume, retry, or leave a ticket waiting. Nothing in the queue submits because time passed.
Inside Action Required
A prepared ticket for a Senior Data Engineer role at a Greenhouse company shows up with the JD attached, a match WHY against your Career Memory, and most fields already filled: phone, location, work authorization, years of experience, links. Two things are usually still blank — a free-text "why this company" answer and a salary-expectation field the JD asked for directly, because those are the two questions worth answering in your own words rather than reusing a stock line.
You write those two answers, glance at the rest, and click approve. If you leave the ticket untouched instead, nothing happens to it — it waits in Action Required indefinitely rather than expiring and auto-submitting on your behalf. Come back in a week and it is exactly as you left it, still waiting on the same two fields.
Built on real ATS discovery
Jobs are pulled from curated company boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday) and LinkedIn roles you ingest with the extension — then matched to your search criteria and memory. See ATS job search.
Prefill from Career Memory
Apply answers and learned questions live in Career Memory so preparation reuses your phone, authorization, salary, links, and prior form answers instead of starting blank every time. Unknown fields stay on the ticket until you fill them.
Greenhouse API submit is gated
A live POST to Greenhouse’s public Job Board API is opt-in, off by default, dry-run by default, and still needs explicit per-application approval plus an audit log row. It is not on for Lever, Ashby, Workday, or LinkedIn. Read Greenhouse job tracker for the board-side story.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Auto Apply submit without me?
- No. Silent auto-submit is forbidden. Discovery and preparation can run continuously; submission only happens after you explicitly approve.
- What is assisted vs manual apply mode?
- Manual means you drive apply yourself (often with the Chrome extension). Assisted means MyCareerAtlas discovers matching roles, prepares the application, and queues it for your approval.
- Which job sources are supported?
- Discovery from curated Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workday boards, plus LinkedIn jobs ingested via the Chrome extension.
- Where do I approve prepared applications?
- In Action Required and on the application Career Ticket — review fields, fill gaps, then approve, resume, or retry.
- Can Lever or Ashby auto-submit via API?
- No. Those stay extension-assisted or manual. Only Greenhouse has an opt-in Job Board API path, off by default.
