About ApplyFirst
Introduction to ApplyFirst
ApplyFirst is an AI-driven job search assistant that monitors LinkedIn for newly posted roles matching your criteria and delivers timely alerts. It is designed for job seekers who want to reduce time spent on manual filtering and reach suitable openings soon after they are published.
The platform filters roles using a free-form prompt and configurable criteria, then summarizes each job with a compatibility score, key requirements, relevant keywords, and the tech stack. This information helps candidates quickly assess fit and tailor applications without reading lengthy descriptions.

How ApplyFirst Works
-
Create a job search by writing a free-form prompt that captures your preferences. You can specify seniority, target technologies, languages, visa sponsorship needs, salary expectations, and location. The AI agent uses this context to filter out irrelevant listings.
-
When new matching LinkedIn jobs are posted, ApplyFirst sends you an alert. Each alert groups recent roles and provides a concise summary so you can evaluate fit quickly and decide whether to apply immediately.
-
You can adjust the frequency of emails for each search to receive alerts immediately or at custom intervals. The included keywords and requirements can guide how you tailor your resume or cover letter for higher relevance.
Alert contents typically include:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Compatibility score | A percentage-based estimate of how well the role matches your prompt |
| Job overview | Title, company, and location |
| Freshness | Time since posting to support early application |
| Applicant context | Signals such as being among the first applicants |
| Keywords and tech stack | Extracted terms to help assess fit and tailor applications |
| Link to job | Direct link to view the role |
