Would you pay for a tool that auto-fills job applications?


Honest question: If you're job hunting, would you pay $20/month for a tool that auto-fills applications and saves you 20+ hours? Trying to decide if this is worth building

This would not be of interest to me because it wouldn't mesh at all with my job hunting methodology.

For me, no. I hate writing applications, but not sure automating all of it is beneficial to either party. Applying sucks, I get it, but...

As an applicant, I often discover reasons for or against applying for a company during the application process.

As an interviewer, it's not a dealbreaker, but it definitely stands out when someone puts in the effort to write a clear, thoughtful application.

So it would depend heavily on what the "savings" are here. Where does "20+ hours" come from?
