Straight answers.
Including the ones where the answer is no.
Finding postings
Where do the postings come from?
From employers' own careers sites. Final Resume finds the companies hiring for your titles and reads each one's public careers site, on whatever applicant-tracking system it runs (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Workable, iCIMS, Eightfold, Oracle Recruiting, SAP SuccessFactors and several others), then keeps the postings that match your searches.
A job index is used for one thing only: finding which companies have a direct listing for your titles. The postings you see are read from the employer's own site.
Does it work with the employers it lists?
No. There are no partnerships. It reads the same public careers pages you could open yourself, and it sends you to the employer's own application form.
How does it decide which postings I see?
By title. A posting is kept when its title contains one of your search's keywords and a role word, and none of the words you chose to skip (Senior, Manager, Intern and so on). Postings placed in another country are not stored.
On top of that you filter by state, optional city, remote, and how recently the posting appeared. To see more, add titles or keywords; to see fewer, add skip words.
What is the fit score?
A number from 1 to 5 with a one-line reason, judged against your resume on skills, years and level. It is produced by an AI model and it is an opinion to sort by, not a verdict.
The newest jobs in your queue are scored first, so a posting without a score is not a bad one.
How often are postings updated?
When you ask. You start a scan yourself, once a day, after you have gone through the jobs from the last one. A scan takes from a few minutes to about an hour. Nothing runs on a timer.
Will it find every job?
No. It reads careers sites that run on a system it knows, at the companies it finds hiring for your titles. A job that exists only on a site it cannot read will not appear.
Applying
Does Final Resume apply for me?
No. Prefill fills the form, goes through it with you field by field, and stops. You press Submit. Nothing in Prefill clicks a Submit button, and while it is filling the form cannot be submitted at all.
Which application forms can Prefill fill?
Today: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Eightfold, including Greenhouse forms embedded on an employer's own site. Workday is switched off for now.
Systems that need a separate account per employer (iCIMS, SuccessFactors, Oracle, Phenom and similar) are not filled; Apply opens the posting for you.
What do I need to install?
Nothing to find and review jobs. For Prefill, a small helper on your Mac or Windows PC: it needs Python 3.9 or newer and downloads its own browser (about 150 MB) the first time. You start it when you want to use Prefill and close it when you are done.
Who writes the answers to questions like “Why do you want to work here?”
An AI model writes a draft from your resume and the posting, and the field is marked as a draft. It is a starting point for you to read and edit. Drafts use only what is in your resume.
Plans and billing
What does it cost?
Three plans: Search at $19 a month, Apply at $39 and Sprint at $79. They differ in how many applications you can send a day (25, 50 or 200), how many searches and resumes you can have, and whether Prefill is included. The pricing page has the full table.
Is there a free plan or a trial?
No. Every scan reads hundreds of careers sites and costs real server time, so every account is a paid one. You can cancel at any time and you keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
What counts as an application?
Pressing Apply or Prefill on a job. Skipping a job, removing it or shortlisting it does not count, so you can go through as many jobs as you like.
When you reach your plan's number for the day, the queue pauses. It shows how many jobs are still waiting and how long until you can continue, and offers the next plan up if you would rather not wait.
Why can't I scan again straight away?
Two reasons. A scan is real work for the service, so there is one a day. And the next scan opens only when every job from the last one has a decision, so nothing worth applying to is buried under new arrivals. If you have seen enough, “Skip the rest” clears what remains.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes, from your account page, at any time. A job search ends, and the plan is meant to end with it.
What is the scan queue?
The service runs one scan at a time. When several people ask at once, the requests wait in line: Sprint first, then Apply, then Search, and in the order they were asked within a plan. You get an email when yours is done, and you can keep working on the postings you already have.
Your data
What do you store, and where?
On the server, in your account: your resumes, searches, the postings kept for you, your decisions and applications, the details you want typed into forms, and the answers Prefill has learned.
On your computer: the helper, a token that identifies your account, the browser cookies of the application sites you signed in to, and a log of each Prefill run.
Is my resume sent to an AI service?
Yes, for three things: suggesting searches from your resume, scoring fit, and drafting answers. The text of your resume and of the posting goes to Google's Gemini API for those three purposes and no others. How Google handles what it receives is set by the Gemini API's own terms.
Do other users see my postings or my data?
Postings are public pages, so when your searches match postings the service has already read for someone else, you see those right away instead of waiting. That is all that is shared. Your resume, your details, what you shortlisted and where you applied are yours alone.
