Why people use auto apply in the UK
A job search is a lot of typing. You find a posting, open the form, enter your history again, upload a file, answer the same questions and press send. Then you do it again for the next job. Most people give up after a few dozen, and a search that ends early finds fewer interviews.
Auto apply takes that typing off your plate. You say what you want once. The software finds matching jobs and sends the applications. You spend your time on the part only you can do: the interviews.
What you set up
- Your country: pick United Kingdom, then your city and postcode. Add your town or city and your postcode. If you will work in more than one area, such as London and the South East, list each one.
- Your job titles: the jobs you want, in your own words.
- Your places: the cities or areas you will work in, and if you want remote, hybrid or on site.
- Your pay floor, if you have one.
- Your work rights: your right to work in the UK.
- Your CV: upload the one you use now. Salvo reads it and builds on your real history.
You can start free on Salvo and change any of these later from your dashboard.
What is different in the UK
UK employers usually ask for your CV, not your resume, and many ask if you have the right to work in the UK. Notice periods are common, so the start date answer is often one to three months. Pay is usually quoted as a yearly salary in pounds.
Salvo asks you for these facts once and fills them in on each form. It does not guess your visa or work status. If a form asks something it has no answer for, it asks you instead of making one up.
Where the jobs come from
People in the UK look for work on Reed, Indeed UK, Totaljobs, LinkedIn and company career pages. Many listings send you to the employer's own application form. Salvo fills in and submits those forms for you, so you do not retype your history into each one. Some employers use their own custom pages, and a few forms need a step only you can do, such as a security question sent to your phone. Those are the exceptions.
What happens after you sign up
Salvo reads your history, finds jobs that match your rules, rewrites your CV for each one and submits. You see a receipt for each application, so you always know what went out and where. When an employer writes back with an interview request, Salvo preps you for that job: likely questions, a short briefing on the company and a place to practice your answers.
Your CV is rewritten from your real history. Salvo does not add jobs you did not hold, dates that are not yours or degrees you did not earn. The aim is your CV that matches the posting's words while staying true to you.
What it costs
Salvo is free to start with no card, and your first interview request is free. After that, replies stay locked unless you add an optional Turbo plan. Turbo can be billed in pounds, Canadian dollars or Australian dollars where those apply, so you see the price in your own money. If you never add Turbo, you keep what you already got.
Check before you trust any auto apply app
- Does it submit the application, or only fill in the form and leave the click to you?
- Is your CV rewritten for each job, or does one file go to every employer?
- Do you get a receipt for each application?
- Does it ask you before it answers something it does not know?
- What happens when the free part ends?
- Can you cancel in one click?
Write the answers down for two or three apps and the differences show up fast. Our guide on how to apply to jobs for free, automatically goes through the same questions, and what auto apply is explains the basics.
A realistic week
Say you sign up on Monday with your CV, three job titles and two cities. By the end of the day Salvo has found matching jobs and started sending. By Friday you have a list of receipts, and a few employers have written back. You open the dashboard, see which replies need you and take the interview prep for the first one. You did not fill in a single form.
Not every application gets an answer. That is true of every job search, by hand or not. What changes is how many chances you get for the same hours, and how much of your week goes to typing instead of preparing.
Who it suits
Auto apply suits people who are laid off and need volume, people who work full time and have little spare time, and people changing fields who need your CV that speaks to each posting. It suits you less if you only want one or two specific jobs at named companies. For those, a hand-written application and a message to a person at the company can do more.
If you are ready to try it, upload your CV and set your rules. It takes a few minutes, and nothing is sent until your rules are set.
