Seventy-eight seconds, no hard sell. Sound on, if you can.
AI-apply bots promise volume. Here's what that volume actually costs you — and what a real team does instead.
Bots only fill the handful of ATS forms they're scripted for. Custom career portals, logins, multi-step forms and bespoke questions get silently skipped — and those are often the best jobs.
A thousand generic applications still miss the one that matters — and recruiters instantly spot and bin sloppy auto-filled forms. Spraying gets your account flagged, not hired.
You review the queue, fix mangled forms, work out what each status means and decide what to change when nothing works. The bot applies; you babysit. No team, no judgement, no one to ask.
A real specialist applies wherever the role lives — any ATS, any company portal, any bespoke form — so no good job is ever out of reach.
Every application is tailored to the role and checked by a human before it's sent. Honest, interview-defensible, and built to actually get read.
Not a lifeless dashboard to babysit. A managed search with humans doing the work and preparing you for every interview that lands. See exactly who does what →
Endless forms. The same details typed a hundred times. Silence that makes you question your worth. It isn't that you're not good enough — the system is designed to exhaust you before you're seen. You deserve a team in your corner.
Three very different situations, three different answers. Pick the one that sounds like you and we'll skip the parts that don't.
What to do in the first fortnight, how to use your notice period, and the one thing most people don't know to ask their employer for.

We've kept this page short on purpose. Everything else lives on pages you can read properly, rather than scroll past.
The four engines that run every working day, why we apply daily instead of in one burst, and the standards we hold ourselves to.
How we compare to auto-appliers, reverse recruiters and doing it alone — including the things we're worse at, and who this isn't for.
Who does what at every step of a single application — and the things we will never do, written as refusals rather than claims.
What we collect, where it sits, who can access it, how long we keep it — and the procurement answers, gaps included.
