I am guessing this only works with the "Apply via Indeed" jobs. Yesterday I was applying for jobs and extremely frustrated by how many corporations require you to create an account on their platform and jump through many hoops just to apply for a job. No thanks!
- Animats 10y agoNow that's a job for a bot. By now, someone should have a bot that's smart enough to figure out how to sign up with an arbitrary site. The comment spam crowd seems to have that technology. The next step in automatic job applications is something that customizes your resume, based on what the job ad is asking. There's a startup in this.
- sheraz 10y agoYou're gonna like this: https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/autologin https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/autologin This is a spider that can auto-login given a seed url. I wonder how much harder it would be to make this just a sign-up tool as well?

- Decade 10y agoThat's what I really, really hate about Taleo and iCIMS and Silk Road and Jobvite and so on. They allow their customers to customize the application process with arbitrary fields and click-through agreements, so you can't just write a simple shell script to apply to all jobs that use that system. The login is the least part of the process. I heard that comment spam is often farmed to places with low cost of labor, not necessarily automated.
- wiseleo 10y agoAgreed. I might build it at a hackathon. Feed the job description to some random AI API from a sponsor and build a resume with cover letter automatically from relevant experience. I do that anyway with my resumes and cover letters when I occasionally need them.
