What are the application modes?

Written by Juana

You can choose how Auto Apply submits applications by selecting a mode. There are three options:

Auto mode

All matching jobs are applied to automatically without any input from you. At first, the system matches you with the best available jobs on the market. Over time, as the strongest matches are applied to, the fit score of new suggestions may gradually decrease.

Best for: large queues, flexible criteria, and if you need a job as soon as possible.

Hybrid mode

Applications are submitted automatically, but only for jobs with a fit score of 70 or higher. Lower-scoring jobs are held for your review. Depending on your plan, the queue may take over a week to complete. Check back daily — if low-fit jobs pile up without action, your queue will stop. You can apply to them or decline them.

Best for: a more relaxed job search where you want the tool to handle most of it, but with a quality filter.

Review mode

Every job suggestion requires your approval before an application is submitted. The speed depends entirely on how frequently you review — typically a couple of weeks. Check back daily and don't let the queue stall. When you decline a job, always provide a reason — this helps the AI learn your preferences and improve future suggestions.

Best for: strict criteria and if you're looking to switch jobs and want to find the best possible fit.
