Hireway vs auto-apply tools

Auto-apply tools submit applications on your behalf, often hundreds at a time. Hireway does the opposite: it finds fewer, better-fitting roles early, tailors a resume from your real experience, and you click submit yourself.

Why Hireway doesn't auto-apply

Recruiters screen for fit, and a tailored, accurate application to a role posted this week beats a generic one sent to hundreds. Some sites also forbid automation: LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits using bots or other automated methods on its service.

Choose an auto-apply tool instead if

  • You are optimizing for the number of applications sent, not the fit of each one.
  • You are fine with applications going out that you have not read.

Your next role is posting somewhere this week. Be first in line.
