Auto-Apply (AuraPro)
Auto-Apply automatically finds jobs that match your CV and can prepare applications when the match score meets your threshold (typically 80%+, configurable). On supported flows, AuraCV fills safe fields and stops before final submission so you can review.
Requirement: Active AuraPro subscription.
Path: Auto Apply (/auto-apply)
How it works (end-to-end)
- Choose a CV — We use it for matching and as the basis for application content. Pick your most accurate, up-to-date version.
- Configure settings — Minimum score, regions, remote preference, daily/run limits.
- Scan — AuraCV searches the job board for listings that fit your profile.
- Review matches — See scores, companies, locations, and missing skills.
- Prepare / apply — Confirm each job (manual) or run the automated preparation flow for jobs above threshold.
Auto-Apply is a productivity tool, not a guarantee of interviews or offers.
Settings explained
Common options (labels may vary slightly in the UI):
| Setting | Purpose | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum match score | Only jobs at or above this % are candidates | Start 85%+; lower only if you need more volume |
| Regions | SA, international, or both | Narrow regions if you cannot relocate |
| Remote / on-site | Filters work location | Align with your Profile preferences |
| Daily / run limits | Caps applications per scan | Prevents accidental mass apply |
Adjust settings before each scan when targeting a new role type (e.g. switching from "junior dev" to "project manager").
Common questions: settings
What threshold should I use?
85%+ when learning the feature; 80% for more volume with more manual review; avoid below 75% unless you accept many weak fits.
Can I use different CVs for different scans?
Yes — select the CV that matches the campaign before scanning.
Will Auto-Apply apply to jobs I'm not qualified for?
It uses match scores, not human judgment. High volume + low threshold increases misfires. Employers may view irrelevant applications negatively.
Scan results
After a scan you typically see:
- Total jobs scanned
- Count of strong matches
- Per job: match score, company, location, top missing skills
Use missing skills to update your CV (Skills section, experience bullets) or study gaps on Skills & Courses, then scan again.
Apply manually vs automatically
| Mode | Best for | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Manual apply | First-time users, senior roles, small target list | Lower — you approve each job |
| Automatic prepare | High volume, trusted threshold, familiar markets | Medium — review before final submission |
Always verify company name, role title, and legitimacy before final submission. Fraudulent listings occasionally appear on public job feeds.
Common questions: applying
Where do applications show up?
Check Applications (/applications) tracker. External board applications may still need manual tracking if the employer site does not report back to AuraCV.
Can Auto-Apply apply on LinkedIn/Indeed directly?
Many listings redirect to external portals. Auto-Apply cannot fill every employer form. See FAQ — Known limitations.
How is Quick Apply different?
Quick Apply is assisted fill. You open the employer form, run the AuraCV helper, review filled fields, and submit yourself. Auto-Apply is the higher-volume AuraPro workflow for matched jobs and supported flows. See Quick Apply.
Duplicate applications?
Review Applications and Auto-Apply history before re-scanning the same keywords.
History
View past Auto-Apply runs: jobs scanned, matched, and prepared/applied. Use history to:
- Audit what was sent
- Avoid repeating the same companies in one week
- Tune thresholds based on results
Best practices
- Accurate CV — Auto-Apply amplifies what's in your CV; errors scale.
- High threshold first — Then lower only with intention.
- Manual mode first week — Learn match quality before bulk apply.
- Update Applications — Follow up on interviews and rejections.
- Combine with AI Hub — CV Checker → Job Matcher (pick jobs from the board) → then Auto-Apply.
- Do not spam — Applying to unqualified roles hurts your brand with recruiters.
Ethics and terms
- Employers may reject automated or bulk applications.
- Comply with each job board's terms of service.
- You remain responsible for application content and truthfulness.
- Auto-Apply does not replace networking, referrals, or tailored cover letters where they matter.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| Auto-Apply menu missing or locked | Confirm AuraPro on Subscriptions; refresh login |
| No matches found | Broaden regions slightly; improve Skills; lower threshold a few points |
| Too many weak matches | Raise threshold; narrow regions; refine CV summary |
| Applications not in tracker | Add manually from job detail; external-only apply |
| Scan fails / timeout | Retry; check network; email support if persistent |
| Hit upgrade during scan | AI or Pro subscription lapsed — renew AuraPro |
