Autojob Browser Extension

Why Use a Browser Extension for Job Hunting?

Let’s be real — hunting for jobs online can quickly become a full-time job itself. Copy-pasting your resume and cover letters, checking multiple sites, and tracking applications… it all adds up. That’s exactly why we built our browser extension. It’s designed to take that tedious work off your plate.

With the extension, your browsing turns into a smart assistant that spots the right openings and even applies for you, based on your profile and preferences. No more wasting hours manually submitting the same info over and over.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what you can expect from our extension:

Honestly, it’s like having a personal recruiter who never sleeps.

How Our Browser Extension Works Behind the Scenes

Our extension acts as a connector between the job sites you browse and the AI engine on our platform. When you visit job boards or company pages, it scans the listings in real time and compares them against your profile.

But here’s the thing — it doesn’t just blast your info everywhere. Instead, it scores each job’s relevance and tweaks your application materials to match the role. That way, you’re applying smart, not just fast.

Real-Time Job Detection

Whether you’re scrolling LinkedIn or checking a smaller company’s careers page, the extension identifies openings you’d likely be interested in.

Custom Application Generation

Based on the job description, it crafts a tailored cover letter and picks the best resume version from your uploads.

Auto-Submission or Manual Review

You get to decide: let the extension apply automatically or review each one first. Notifications keep you in the loop.

Browser Compatibility and System Requirements

We designed the extension to work smoothly on most common browsers, but here’s some key info to keep in mind:

Make sure your device has at least 4GB RAM and a stable internet connection. The extension uses about 50MB RAM when active, which is quite light compared to other tools.

Powerful Features You’ll Use Daily

Our extension packs quite a punch with features that actually help you save time and apply better.

• Smart Job Detection: Automatically spots relevant jobs on any page you visit.

It’s not just about automation — it’s about doing it thoughtfully and giving you control.

Fine-Tuning Your Job Preferences

To get the most out of the extension, you’ll want to set your preferences carefully. This helps the AI show you jobs that really fit your needs and cut down on irrelevant applications.

Location Settings

Choose your preferred job search radius, whether you’re open to relocating, and how strongly you want remote work.

Industry and Role Preferences

Specify job titles, industries to target or avoid, and experience levels that suit you.

Compensation and Contract Types

Set your salary expectations, benefits priorities, and whether you want full-time or contract roles.

When you update these settings on your dashboard, the browser extension uses them to score and prioritize job matches.

Managing Your Applications with the Extension

Once you start applying, you’ll want to keep an eye on what’s happening. Our extension makes that easy right from your browser.

Application Dashboard

The popup interface shows your recent applications, response rates, and scheduled interviews, so you don’t have to jump back and forth between tabs.

Status Tracking

Applications are tagged as “submitted,” “under review,” or “interview scheduled,” updating automatically as employers respond.

Quick Actions

You can pause auto-applications, tweak matching sensitivity on the fly, review pending applications before they go out, or open interview scheduling tools right there.

• Quick Apply: Ctrl+Alt+A
• View Dashboard: Ctrl+Alt+D
• Pause Extension: Ctrl+Alt+P

Privacy, Security, and Your Data

We get that privacy is a big deal when using an extension that handles your personal info. Here’s how we keep things safe and transparent.

We only collect data needed to match you with jobs and submit applications — that means your resume, preferences, and application history. Your general browsing outside job sites stays private.

All data is encrypted with AES-256, and every connection is secured via HTTPS. You control permissions and can revoke access anytime.

Our extension respects your Autojob account’s security settings, including two-factor authentication if you have it enabled.
