Job application tracker browser extension

How to apply to a job

On a computer, with the extension:

1. Open the job on LinkedIn, Indeed or the company’s careers site. To keep it for later, click Save to findafknjob.com in the extension (see below).
2. Click the posting’s Apply button. The job goes on your board right then, with the full posting (see below).
3. Fill in the company’s application form, check it, then click Submit.
4. The job moves to Applied with today’s date and the answers you gave. On Pro, replies from the company keep its status up to date.

On your phone:

1. Save the job by pasting or sharing its link (see Using FAFJ on your phone). If the site won’t let us read all of it, FAFJ asks whether you want to apply now or later on your computer.
2. Apply on the company’s site in your phone’s browser, then set the job’s status to Applied. Or open the job later on a computer with the extension: it fills in anything your phone could not get, like the description, location and pay, and tracks the application when you apply there.

Install and connect the extension

The extension saves and tracks the jobs you look at and apply to. Install it in Chrome, Firefox (version 140 or later) or Edge on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer, click Connect in it, and approve the code it shows on this page. Settings → Extension has the same link, for another computer.

It works by itself on the big job sites. To have it track the jobs you apply to on company career sites too, click Turn on for all career sites in the extension once and allow it.

Save a job as you browse

Open a job on LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Taleo, UltiPro, Oracle Cloud, Avature, SuccessFactors, Dayforce or a company’s careers site, and the extension reads the role, company, location, pay, full description and link (a page a script has to build first opens in a headless browser, so it can still be read). Click Save to findafknjob.com to keep it for later. It also tells you when you have applied to that company before. If the job is already on your board, it says so and the button becomes Update in findafknjob.com; if it looks like a job you saved from another site, it offers Merge them. See every job site FAFJ works with, and how much of each posting it reads.

If it finds no job on a page that has one, click the FAFJ icon, then Look for a job on this page. The extension sends that page’s visible text (never anything typed into a form) and its address to FAFJ, and AI looks for the job’s details for you to check. Each try counts toward the same daily page lookups as reading a link (Pro gets more of them than Free), and nothing is saved until you click Save. When you have turned AI off, the AI lookup is skipped.

Click Apply and it’s on your board

Click Apply on a job board, or on a company’s careers site once you have clicked Turn on for all career sites in the extension, and the job is saved right then, with everything the posting shows: company, role, location, pay, the full description and the hiring team, even when the application form shows none of it. Opening an application form saves the job too. When you submit the form, it moves to Applied, with the answers you gave. A status never moves backwards.

Applying for someone else

Helping someone with their job search? When they share it with you with Can edit, pick their name under Applying for in the extension, and the jobs you save and apply to go on their board. See Work in an account shared with you.
