HOW IT WORKS

How Pip auto-applies to jobs for you —
four honest steps, zero magic.

Shortlist reads your resume, finds matching roles on employers’ own career sites — Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable, Rippling — fills in the real application form, and waits for your OK. Nothing sends without you. There’s no extension to install and nothing to leave running: Pip works from the cloud while your laptop is closed. Here’s exactly what happens — and, just as important, what never will.

01

Toss Pip your resume

One PDF. Pip reads it once and remembers forever — your roles, skills, education, the lot. You’ll never retype your history into a portal again.

Wake up to a shortlist

Overnight, Pip scans 1,500+ boards and ranks what fits — salary floor respected, visa needs filtered, dealbreakers skipped. One card at a time: apply or pass.

You approve. It flies.

Pip drafts every screening answer from your real story and shows you the whole envelope — answers, resume version, sender. One tap to send. If a question needs a human, it waits for you instead of guessing.

This is the whole point: you stay the sender

Replies fly home

Recruiters reply as they always would. Each answer is pinned to the right application (statuses update themselves), then forwarded to your real inbox. No lost threads, no leaked address, a perfect paper trail.

What Pip never does

Sends without your OK — Review first is the default, always
Invents an answer — unknowns are flagged “Needs you”
Shows recruiters your salary floor — it only filters your feed
Sells your data — you’re the customer, not the product
Guilt-trips you at midnight — streaks cheer, never shame
Spams 200 boards blind — fewer, better, tailored sends

Fair questions

Will employers know Pip helped?
Applications are sent in your name, with your words — every answer starts from your resume and you approve the final text. Pip is your pen, not your ghostwriter.
Where do the jobs come from?
Pip scouts public job boards and company career pages every night — the live board shows every open role it draws from — then ranks what’s genuinely new against your resume. You only ever see roles that clear your salary floor, location, and dealbreakers — never a recycled or sponsored listing padding the list.
What if a form asks something Pip can’t answer?
It stops and flags that field “Needs you” instead of guessing. Pip never invents an answer to keep an application moving — you fill in the one detail, and the rest of the envelope is already prepped and waiting for your OK.
Does Shortlist apply on LinkedIn?
No. Pip applies on the employer’s own careers site instead — the place the hiring team actually reads. LinkedIn rate-limits and blocks automation on Easy Apply, so tools that promise it tend to get accounts restricted. Every job on the board links straight to the employer’s real form, and that’s where Pip fills it in. Curious how that differs from bulk bots? An honest comparison.
Is my resume shared anywhere before I apply?
No. Your resume only leaves Shortlist when you approve a specific application, and it goes to that employer alone. We never sell your data or hand it to third-party recruiters — you’re the customer, not the product.

Two minutes from now, Pip is scouting for you.
