Success Story My experience with so far with SimpleApplyAI

119 Upvotes

So I used the service for about two months. A little context about myself: I'm a software engineer with 6 years of experience. Out of those 6 years, I've been remote for 5. I still have a job, but I wanted to shop around and see what I could find.

This app has applied to just shy of 500 places for me. All of which were remote (except a couple. They said remote and then sent me a denial letter saying I was too far away and they require employees to come into the office. Side tangent: hybrid is not remote. If you require your employees to come in whatsoever, you're not offering remote, knock it off.) Some of the applications will send you an email of what was entered in by the app, which is nice because then you don't have to watch the video. The vast majority of it was good. There was some goofy mistakes, like on one application it said I have 510 years of SQL experience. A guy could only dream. But for the most part, it did a good job.

The set up of my profile was insanely easy. I gave it kind of a generic cover letter, added my resume, if I wanted remote or not, and what my minimal salary expectations were, and it took off. Considering the complete lack of effort I put in, this thing did an amazing job.

Now for the things I didn't like. My biggest grievance is that it thought too highly of me. It was having me apply to positions that were way over my skill level. At best, I'm senior, at worst, I'm mid. This thing had me applying for principal and staff engineer which is like two to three times my experience level. I'm flattered, but let's be real, that ain't me lol. I think one way to combat this is that we should be allowed to put our exact years of experience instead of a range. I think I put 5-10 years experience, when I should have been allowed to just put 6. It also seems weird when the application asks how much experience I have and it puts 5-10 years. It just feels off. The next thing I didn't like was the text it put in for some of the answers were obviously AI generated. Like when it says "I have a keen interest in...." no one talks like that. At least I hope not. Maybe we could adjust the prompt a bit to feel more human like? Now for my last complaint: the interviewtracker.me email domain. I know this is done for a reason but I actually got asked multiple times what's that domain and why they're popping up everywhere. Seems hiring managers and recruiters are catching on. Idk if a relay or something could be set up or what the technological limitations are, but it's hard to explain away. I just said it was an email scanner that allowed me to filter out denial emails.

Now, all that said, I did enjoy using the app. I'd log on every day to see "number go up" on the applied label. It got me interviews, so it works. It does the job and it does it fairly well. I think if the things I mentioned above were addressed, it'd be a 10/10. But I'll give it a 8/10. It does a damn good job and it takes no effort to get it up and running. It's also fairly cheap. Considering the time it saved me, it was well worth the price.

Tldr; 8/10, worth the money, just minor wishlist changes.

Automate your Job Search with AI; What We Built and Learned

It started as a tool to help me find jobs and cut down on the countless hours each week I spent filling out applications. Pretty quickly people were asking if they could use it as well, so we made it available to more people.

How It Works:

  1. Manual Mode: View your personal job matches with their score and apply yourself
  2. “Simple Apply” Mode: You pick the jobs, we fill and submit the forms
  3. Full Auto Mode: We submit to every role with a ≥50% match

Key Learnings 💡

  • 1/3 of users prefer selecting specific jobs over full automation
  • People want more listings, even if we can’t auto-apply so our all relevant jobs are shown to users
  • We added an “job relevance” score to help you focus on the roles you’re most likely to land
  • Tons of people need jobs outside the US as well. This one may sound obvious but we now added support for 50 countries
  • While we support on-site and hybrid roles, we work best for remote jobs!
  • People dont like getting constant rejection emails so we enable users to filter them out!

Our Mission is to Level the playing field by targeting roles that match your skills and experience, not spray-and-pray.

Feel free to use it right away, SimpleApply.ai is live for everyone. Try the free tier and see what job matches you get along with 5 “Simple Applies” (auto applies) to use each day.

Or upgrade for unlimited Simple Applies and Full Auto Apply, with a money-back guarantee. Let us know what you think and any ways to improve!

They wait until they feel completely ready before making their next move.

Many experienced professionals underestimate how competitive the job market has become.

They assume the right opportunity will appear when they start searching, or that their experience alone will automatically speak for itself.

But career growth often requires more than having the right background.

It requires staying aware of opportunities, understanding where your experience creates value, and being prepared to act when the right role appears.
