Setting up your apply profile

Application forms ask for more than your resume says: your phone number, whether you need visa sponsorship, your salary expectation, your notice period. Your apply profile keeps those answers in one place so Hiresweep can fill them in for you. Open it from Settings → Apply profile, under Job applications. Fill it in before your first application. Anything missing is asked during the application, and your answer is saved here.

​

• Other details, such as your visa type or its expiry.
• Security clearance and Driver’s license.

​

Voluntary self-identification

US employers often ask about Gender, Race or ethnicity, Veteran status and Disability. These answers are used only when a form asks these exact questions, and each one is set to I don’t wish to answer until you choose otherwise.

​

Sending applications

Submit mode decides whether a filled form waits for you. An application running in the background keeps the mode it started with.

• Review: every filled form waits for you to check it and press submit. This is the default.
• Hybrid: sends only when the job’s match score is at least the Minimum match score (50 to 100, default 80) and the form asked you nothing.
• Automatic: sends every form it fills.

See Applying to jobs.
