How it works
Discover, match, tailor, apply, track
PlaceMeFast handles the mechanical parts of a job search and leaves the judgement to you. Here is what that means in practice.
The five steps, in detail
01
Discover
Reads roles from company career pages as they appear, rather than waiting for them to reach an aggregator.
Watches the career pages of more than 50,000 U.S. companies, so a posting is picked up close to when it goes live.
Freshness is the point. An application that arrives in the first days lands in a small pile someone is actively working; the same application three weeks later lands in several hundred.
02
Match
Ranks each role against the profile you define, and shows the reasoning rather than a bare score.
You set target roles, seniority, compensation floor, locations, work style, company criteria, visa needs, and exclusions. The match runs against those, not against keyword overlap alone.
Every match carries fit and ATS-readiness signals, compensation where it is published, and why it was surfaced — so when it gets you wrong, you can see how and correct it.
Lower-confidence matches are kept separate as worth-a-look rather than mixed in, so the main list stays trustworthy.
03
Tailor
Adapts your materials to a specific posting, and fixes the mechanical problems that stop a resume parsing.
Keep more than one resume and use the right one for each kind of role. A tailored version can be generated against a specific job description, along with a cover letter.
Structure, formatting, and keyword alignment are checked for applicant tracking systems, which is where a large share of applications are quietly damaged.
Optimized files can be downloaded and reused anywhere. Nothing is locked in.
04
Apply
Fills supported application forms, or queues and submits under controls you configure.
In Free, fill forms from your profile, resume, and AI-assisted answers. You review and submit.
On Premium, high-fit roles can be matched, tailored, queued, and submitted — with review, approval, and resume-selection settings you configure.
Submitted responses are recorded where the form allows it, so weeks later you can see exactly what was sent in your name.
05
Track
Pulls the state of the search out of your inbox into one pipeline.
Email-forwarding and inbox workflows capture application confirmations, recruiter replies, interview activity, and outcomes.
Every application shows its stage — review, queued, applied, interviewing, rejected, archived — along with the resume version used and the application history.
Connecting a Gmail account is opt-in and off by default. Forwarding works without granting inbox access at all.
What it does
The whole path, in order — from the preferences you set to a record of exactly what was sent in your name.
Learns what a good role looks like for you
Target roles, seniority, compensation, locations, remote and hybrid preferences, company criteria, visa needs, and the things you want excluded. Keep more than one resume and use the right one for each type of role.
Finds roles early
Reads postings directly from the career pages of more than 50,000 U.S. companies, rather than waiting for them to reach an aggregator.
Explains every match
Each role arrives with fit and ATS-readiness signals, compensation where it is available, and the reasoning behind the recommendation — so you can correct it when it is wrong.
Tailors the application
Adapts a resume to a specific job description, drafts cover letters, and improves structure, formatting, and keywords for applicant tracking systems. Optimized files can be downloaded and reused.
Fills the forms, on your terms
On Premium, applications can be matched, tailored, queued, and submitted under review and approval controls you configure.
Finds the right person to contact
Surfaces recruiter and company contacts, drafts outreach, and can send from your own Gmail account if you choose to connect one. Opt-in, and off by default.
Keeps the pipeline current
Email-forwarding and inbox workflows capture confirmations, recruiter replies, interview activity, and outcomes — so the record stays accurate without you transcribing it.
Shows what was actually sent
Every application records its stage, the resume version used, the application history, and the submitted form responses where they are available.
And what it does not do
It does not put false answers on a form. Where an answer needs a judgement call, it stops and asks you instead of guessing.
It does not fire off applications unattended the way bulk-apply tools do. You approve each submission, so the right answers go in and your account stays in good standing with the systems employers use.
It does not work outside the United States. That is the only market it covers today.
It has no back channel to hiring managers. No inside referrals, no introductions we cannot actually make, and nothing that helps you cheat an interview.
It does not sell your data or hand it to anyone else. Delete your account and everything goes with it, apart from your name and email — kept only so one person cannot quietly open a second free account.
What you will need
Two things are required. The other two are optional and off unless you turn them on.
A resume
Any format. You can keep several and choose which one is used for each kind of role.
Your preferences
Target roles, seniority, compensation floor, locations, work style, company criteria, visa needs, and anything you want excluded.
Chrome, for self-apply
The extension fills supported application forms. Optional — everything else works without it.
A Gmail account, optionally
Only if you want recruiter outreach sent from your own address or inbox tracking. Off by default, revocable at any time, and forwarding works without it.
Two ways to use it
