Track job applications on the go with the First 2 Apply Web companion

Authors

We just launched First 2 Apply Web

Up until now, First 2 Apply Desktop has been the way our users automate their job search. It runs in the background on your computer, monitors 10+ job boards, and sends email alerts for new jobs so you can apply even when you're not in front of your computer.

But we heard from our users: the emails work great for applying on the go, but how do you track which jobs you've applied to without going back to the desktop?

The problem we solved

You get an email alert from First 2 Apply - new jobs match your search. You see them in the email, click a link, and apply on your phone. Done. But now you need to remember to go back to your desktop later to update the status in First 2 Apply.

Before: alerts were on your phone, but tracking was stuck on the desktop. Your job search was split between two places.

How it works

First 2 Apply Desktop runs on your computer, continuously scanning job boards and sending alerts. It has a full dashboard to track everything - status, notes, labels, the works. First 2 Apply Web brings that same dashboard to your phone and browser, so everything syncs in real-time.

  1. Desktop app finds new jobs and sends you an email alert.
  2. You click the button to open First 2 Apply Web on your phone.
  3. See the new jobs that match your search and click to open them on the job board.
  4. Apply to the job, then come back to the app and mark it as "applied".
  5. Optionally add a label (considering, submitted, interviewing, offer, rejected, or ghosted) to track your progress.
