OptApply's answer

We are geared towards scaling your job search and getting you past the ATS filters. Build yourself a "master" resume with all of your job history, push it into our site along with the job description you're looking at, and it will send you a customized resume tailored specifically for the job you're looking for. It also provides you an analysis showing how well your resume fits the job posting.

We offer a very reasonable trial tier that is less expensive than most competitors, so the barrier for entry is low. We also don't deal with subscriptions. If you're using this to find a job, why should you be on the hook for a renewal if you land a job? Just pay once with us, and then buy some more time if you want to try again.

We work great for 3 groups of people: - Those who are looking for that first entry point into their career, or a recent college grad. - Those who are looking for a career change. - Those who are looking to climb the corporate ladder and need to find a new company to do it. - Those who were laid off or currently unemployed, and are looking for an opportunity.

OptApply's answer

I and my friends have been shocked at how many jobs you need to apply for before you get a resume. I've seen so many sankey diagrams on Reddit from people applying for 500 jobs, getting 10 interviews, and maybe 1 offer. I've also read many articles from recruiters expressing frustrations with qualified applicants getting filtered out of the system due to automated HR tools.

This caused me to realize 2 things: - It really is a numbers game, so the faster and more frequently you can apply, the better. - HR filters are looking for specific things. By tailoring your resume to target those things, you improve your hit rate.

Thus, OptApply was born.
