jobwatch: Application Filler

Fills job application forms from your details and your earlier answers. You review every field and press Submit yourself.

Fill job applications from your own details and earlier answers, and review every field before it reaches the form. You press Submit yourself. jobwatch for Chrome is the browser half of jobwatch, a free, open-source job search tracker that runs on your own computer. Open an application, click the jobwatch icon, and Chrome's side panel shows what it can fill, each field marked with where the value came from, before anything is written. It needs the jobwatch app: install it (https://github.com/vinayvobbili/jobwatch) and run `jobwatch ui` on the same computer. Without it the extension does nothing. How it works • Click the jobwatch icon on an application page, then Fill this application. • Each field is a row with a badge: Your details (name, email, phone, links, work authorization), Past answer (an answer you gave on an earlier application, with the question and company it came from), Draft (written by jobwatch for a question nothing matched, never filled until you tick it) or Resume (the file jobwatch keeps for that job). • Edit any value, tick the rows you want, press Fill selected. • Read the form and submit it yourself. The extension never clicks Submit, Next or any button that sends the form. • After you submit, jobwatch records the application and keeps your answers for the next form. • On a LinkedIn job, press Open the company's posting and the extension presses LinkedIn's Apply button for you, so the company's own page opens. jobwatch reads the posting there. On a company page it can't read, press Save this posting to jobwatch. Works with • Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby application forms, including a Greenhouse form embedded in a company's own page. • Other single-page application forms, on a best-effort basis. • Fields another tool (Chrome autofill, a password manager) already filled are left alone. Privacy • It reads only the tab where you click the icon, and only when you press Fill this application. • Page content and your answers go only to the jobwatch on your own computer (127.0.0.1). The authors run no server and receive nothing. • A draft is written by the model you chose in jobwatch's settings: one on your own computer, or a cloud API you set up with your own key. • It reads nothing from LinkedIn's pages: it takes the job's number from the address, and presses LinkedIn's Apply button only when you ask. It never presses Easy Apply or Submit. • No analytics, tracking or advertising.
