FlexJobs has launched ExpertApply, an AI-powered tool designed to streamline the job application process for its users. This new feature allows job seekers to auto-apply for relevant jobs using information from their uploaded resumes, significantly cutting down application time.
How ExpertApply Works
ExpertApply integrates directly into FlexJobs accounts. Here’s a quick rundown of how it functions:
- Resume Upload: Users upload their resumes, and ExpertApply pulls out key data like work history, education, and skills to build an application profile.
- Auto-Apply: The AI then automatically completes job applications for relevant roles based on the user’s profile.
- Review & Submit: Users have full control, as they can review the AI-prepared application before final submission, ensuring accuracy and alignment.
The Rationale Behind ExpertApply
The launch comes as nearly half of all workers are already using AI in their job search, with a large majority viewing auto-apply functions as a “smart strategy.” FlexJobs aims to provide job seekers with a competitive edge and ensure they’re using AI responsibly.
