NATIONWIDE - JULY 2025 - (USAnews.com) — In the fast-paced world of job hunting, the one thing everyone could use is more time. For Joseph Perrotta, the process of applying for job after job, tweaking every resume, and filling out endless forms became a grueling, time-consuming routine. But what started as a personal tool to save himself hours quickly became SimpleApply.ai—a platform that promises to improve the way we approach job applications. Today, it's not just Joseph benefiting from this innovation. With the help of cutting-edge AI, SimpleApply is helping thousands streamline their job search, one click at a time.
A Personal Solution for Job Seekers
The idea behind SimpleApply.ai was born from necessity. Co-founder Joseph Perrotta, like many job seekers, found himself overwhelmed by the labor-intensive process of applying for jobs. What could have been an endless stream of submissions turned into hours of frustration, as he painstakingly customized each application to suit the job description. The time it took to apply to just one position was often more than he could afford. In search of a better solution, he decided to build a tool that could automate the process—one that would apply for jobs on his behalf while tailoring every submission to match job descriptions precisely.
SimpleApply.ai was born as a tool for Joseph, but as soon as he shared it with friends and coworkers, it became clear that there was an unmet need. Soon, the product grew from a private experiment into a platform accessible to anyone seeking a more efficient job application process. With a mission to "level the playing field" and help job seekers focus on roles that truly match their skills and experience, SimpleApply set out to eliminate the redundant tasks that drain time without adding value.
Tackling the Technical Challenges
Building a product that truly understands the nuances of a job description and tailors an application accordingly is no small feat. The team behind SimpleApply.ai faced numerous technical challenges to make sure the AI was not only accurate but also personalized enough to increase the likelihood of interviews. They didn't want users to feel like they were losing control of their job search—rather, they wanted to enhance it.
Feedback from early users helped them refine the AI, incorporating a feature called the "interview likelihood score." This allowed users to see how well they matched with a job before the application was submitted. Over time, SimpleApply grew smarter, offering various modes to suit different preferences. In addition to the automatic application features, users could choose a semi-auto mode, where the AI filled out the details, or even a manual mode, where they could hand-pick jobs and apply with confidence.
Full Auto Apply and More
What sets SimpleApply apart is its Full Auto Apply feature. Unlike traditional job boards or platforms, SimpleApply doesn't just help users find jobs—it applies to them on their behalf, tailoring each submission based on individual profiles. This means that while users sleep, the AI is working, applying to every job that fits their profile, ensuring they never miss out on an opportunity. The full automation is especially helpful for those overwhelmed by the sheer number of job listings and applications.
Joseph’s team, a small but agile group of innovators, continues to grow and improve the platform based on user feedback. Their focus is on creating an experience that feels personal yet efficient. As a result, SimpleApply doesn’t just help people get jobs; it builds confidence by presenting roles that have a strong match, minimizing frustration, and optimizing the application process.
Constant Innovation Driven by User Feedback
"We’re a small team moving fast, and we’re constantly evolving," says Joseph. "Our goal is to make the job application process as simple and efficient as possible, and the feedback we get from our users is invaluable. Every update is a direct response to what our users need and want. We’re not just here to help people apply for jobs; we’re here to make that process seamless and effective, empowering them to focus on the roles they’re most likely to land."
