General Questions

How does Resume Applier work?

Resume Applier is a Chrome extension that automates job applications. Upload your master resume once, browse jobs normally, and when you find one you like — click apply. Our AI tailors your resume to the job description, auto-fills the application form, and lets you review before submitting.

What job sites does it support?

Resume Applier works on 25+ job platforms including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS, Taleo, and most company career pages with standard HTML forms. We add new sites regularly.

How does the AI tailor my resume?

Our AI analyzes the job description to identify key skills, requirements, and keywords. It then rewrites your resume bullet points to emphasize relevant experience, optimizes keyword density for ATS systems, and calculates a match score so you know how strong your application is.

Do I need to create a new resume for every job?

No — that's the whole point. Upload your master resume once and Resume Applier generates a tailored version for each job automatically. You can review and edit before submitting.

Will employers know I used an AI tool?

No. The tailored resume reads naturally and is formatted as a standard PDF. We optimize for the keywords and phrasing that ATS systems and recruiters look for, but the output is professional and human-sounding.

Is my resume data private and secure?

Yes. All data is stored locally in your browser with AES-256 encryption. We never upload your resume to our servers, never share your data with third parties, and you can delete everything at any time.


Features and Capabilities

What's included in the free plan?

The free plan includes 5 applications per day, 3 AI-tailored resumes per day, auto-detection of job forms on 25+ sites, basic application tracking, and full Chrome extension access. Perfect for testing or casual job seekers.

Can it fill out complex application forms?

Yes. Resume Applier handles text fields, dropdowns, textareas, file uploads, and multi-page forms. For particularly complex layouts, our Vision AI (Premium plan) can analyze the page visually to identify fields that standard detection misses.

Does it generate cover letters?

Yes, on the Pro plan and above. The AI generates a tailored cover letter based on the job description and your resume, which you can edit before submission.

Can I queue up multiple applications?

Yes. The bulk application queue (Pro plan) lets you add multiple jobs, set configurable delays between applications, and process them sequentially. You can pause, resume, or cancel at any time.


Privacy and Data Protection

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored locally in your Chrome browser using the Chrome Storage API with AES-256 encryption. Nothing is sent to external servers unless you explicitly enable optional cloud sync.

Do you sell my data?

No. We never sell, share, or monetize your resume data, personal information, or job search activity. Ever.

Can I bring my own AI API key?

Yes. You can configure your own API keys for the AI models used for resume tailoring. Keys are encrypted locally and never transmitted to our servers.

How do I delete my data?

Go to the extension settings and click 'Delete All Data'. This immediately removes all stored resumes, personal information, and application history from your browser. No data persists on any server.


Getting Started

How long does setup take?

Under 5 minutes. Install the Chrome extension, upload your resume, and you're ready to start applying. No account required for the free tier.

What resume formats are supported?

PDF and DOCX. Our parser extracts your contact info, work experience, education, skills, and other sections automatically. You can review and edit the parsed data before using it.

Does it work on Firefox or Safari?

Currently Chrome only. Firefox support is planned. Safari is not supported due to extension API limitations.

Do I need technical knowledge to use it?

Not at all. Install the extension, upload your resume, and browse jobs. Resume Applier handles everything automatically. The interface is designed to be intuitive for non-technical users.
