Autojob Browser Extension

Why Use Autojob’s Browser Extension?

If you’ve been juggling job boards and applications, our browser extension is designed to make life easier. It plugs directly into your browsing experience, scanning job postings in real time and matching them with your profile using AI. From our experience, this kind of automation can cut hours from your weekly job search, letting you focus on preparing for interviews or simply taking a breather.

What users tell us is that the extension doesn’t just find jobs—it helps you apply smarter. It parses CVs, scores vacancies based on relevance, and even handles parts of the application process automatically if you want. So instead of clicking through dozens of listings, you get a curated stream that feels personalized just for you.

Getting Started: Installation Steps Made Simple

Installing the Autojob browser extension is pretty straightforward—no tech headaches required. Here’s how you can get it running on your preferred browser.

3. Click “Add to Chrome” and accept the permissions.
4. Pin the extension via the puzzle icon for easy access.

3. Install and enable it through Safari preferences.

Browser Compatibility & System Needs

We want you to have a smooth experience, so here’s what you’ll need for the extension to work well.

• Supported browsers: Chrome (88+), Firefox (85+), Safari (14+), Edge (Chromium-based).
• System requirements: Minimum 4GB RAM and a stable internet connection.
• Autojob account: You’ll need an active account to sync preferences and applications.

Connecting Your Autojob Account

Once installed, linking your extension to your Autojob account is key for syncing your job preferences and automating applications. Here’s what to expect:

1. Click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
2. Sign in with your Autojob credentials or register if you don’t have an account.
3. The extension will sync your job preferences and resume templates automatically.
4. Run a quick test sync to make sure everything is linked properly.

Quick tip: Make sure you use the same email for both the extension and the main Autojob platform to avoid syncing issues.

How to Configure Your Job Preferences

Getting your preferences right is where the AI magic really kicks in. Spend a little time here, and you’ll see more relevant matches and fewer mismatched applications.

• Job titles & keywords: Be as specific as you can without over-filtering.
• Locations: Add remote or multiple cities if you’re open to options.
• Salary ranges: Set realistic expectations based on your market experience.
• Company size: Whether you prefer startups or enterprises, you can set this here.
• Industries: Select all relevant sectors to widen or narrow your search.

Setting Auto-Application Rules

This feature lets you automate applications, but here’s the catch: setting thoughtful rules prevents wasted effort.

Bonus: Use blacklists and required/exclusion keywords to fine-tune what gets auto-submitted.

Using the Extension Across Major Job Boards

The extension adapts to different sites, but it’s good to know how it behaves on each:

• LinkedIn: Shows match indicators; sometimes their own algorithms compete with ours.
• Indeed: Smooth auto-fill and handles screening questions well.
• Company Sites: Works best with ATS platforms like Workday or Greenhouse; some sites may block automation.
• Glassdoor: Great for research mode with salary and company insights.

Remember, the extension is a helper—not a replacement for reading job details yourself, especially for roles you really want.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Extensions can be tricky sometimes. Here’s what usually helps if things aren’t working right:

• Clear browser cache and cookies.
• Disable other job-related extensions temporarily.
• Confirm you’re on a supported browser version.
• Log out and back in on both the extension and platform.
• Check that your email matches across systems.
• If auto-applications fail, verify daily limits, resume uploads, and site support.

One last note: Some company sites intentionally block bots and scripts. If that happens, the extension won’t work there, and there’s not much we can do unfortunately.

Privacy, Security & Advanced Features

We get it — privacy is important. Our extension only accesses job-related pages, and here’s a quick rundown on data handling:

• We store job preferences, resumes, and application history securely.
• The extension does not collect personal browsing history, emails, or financial info.
• All connections use encrypted protocols, and we comply with GDPR standards.

Advanced Tools to Try

Once you’re comfortable, these features can add even more value:

• Smart Scheduling: Alerts you when new jobs are posted during peak times.
• Application Tracking: Keeps you updated with status changes automatically.
• Salary Intelligence: Displays real-time pay data directly on listings.
• Company Research: Pulls employee reviews and insights for better decisions.
