Simplify

Simplify (simplify.jobs) is a browser extension and job platform built around one observation: the worst part of applying to jobs is not writing the resume, it's retyping that resume into the same web form for the fortieth time. Install the extension, build your Simplify profile once, and it autofills applications across thousands of employer portals, including the big applicant tracking systems like Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and iCIMS.

What Simplify actually does

The core loop is simple. You create a Simplify profile with your work history, education, demographics questions, and standard application answers. When you open a job application anywhere on the web, the extension detects the form and fills it from your profile. What took fifteen minutes takes about one, and the extension logs the application to your Simplify tracker automatically.

• Autofill across thousands of ATS portals, including multi-page Workday flows
• A job feed with matches based on your profile and preferences
• Automatic application tracking, updated as you apply
• AI resume tailoring and cover letter drafts on the paid tier
• A profile that doubles as a structured master resume

The tracker is competent but secondary. Simplify's gravity is the autofill; the tracking exists so the applications you fire off don't vanish into a fog. If tracking depth is what you care most about, a dedicated tracker like Teal or Huntr gives you more control over stages, notes, and contacts.

Simplify pricing

The core product is free: the extension, autofill, the job feed, and basic tracking. That free tier is genuinely usable, and for many people it's all they'll ever need.

The paid tier, Simplify+, is a monthly subscription that adds the AI layer: resume tailoring against specific job descriptions, AI-generated cover letters, recruiter contact surfacing, and priority support. Pricing has shifted over time and they run promotions, so check the current number on their site before subscribing. The honest question to ask first: are you actually blocked on writing speed, or on targeting? Simplify+ helps with the first and does nothing for the second.

Who Simplify is for

• High-volume applicants: new grads, laid-off workers casting a wide net, anyone applying to 20+ roles a month
• People who keep abandoning applications halfway through a Workday form (everyone)
• Job seekers who want tracking to happen automatically instead of as a separate chore

It's less compelling if you're running a narrow, referral-driven search of ten carefully chosen companies. In that mode you'll spend your time on research and warm introductions, and the autofill saves you an hour total, not a week.

Alternatives worth knowing

• Teal: the stronger pure tracker and resume studio, without bulk autofill
• LazyApply and Sonara: full auto-apply automation, higher volume and lower control than Simplify's assisted filling
• Huntr: kanban-style tracking with a lighter autofill assist

The meaningful line is control. Simplify keeps you in the loop on every application; the auto-apply tools submit on your behalf. We'd take Simplify's model for anything you might actually be interviewed for, since you know exactly what the employer received.

How Simplify fits an Offboard search

Simplify and Offboard solve different halves of the same problem. Simplify compresses the mechanical cost of applying. Offboard works the judgment side: a ghost-job check before you invest in a posting, a role-match read against your actual experience, tailored materials, company intel, and a warm path to a real person through your network. A sensible stack is Offboard for the ten roles that matter this week and Simplify for keeping honest reach volume behind them.
