Now you don't have to choose between speed and quality when applying to jobs

Now you don't have to choose between speed and quality when applying to jobs

There is a great quality vs. quantity debate in the employment industry about how to land a job. Do you slow down and focus on the quality of your application, or do you apply to many jobs as fast as you can?

Hiring managers advise job seekers to focus on the quality of their applications to stand out from the crowd- 83% say a resume needs to be tailored to the prospective job and 90% of executives admit that cover letters are invaluable when making hiring decisions.

The problems with focusing on quality:

  • Generally, job seekers don’t know to ‘tailor’, nor how to effectively sell their skills and experiences on paper
  • They don’t have time to figure it out

Slowing down to focus on the quality means candidates miss out on opportunities while other applicants pass them by.

On the other side, many job seekers believe trying to land a job is simply a numbers game. They focus on speed and volume using ‘easy apply’ options made popular by Indeed and LinkedIn, which encourage them to apply to dozens of jobs in minutes - in a transactional process.

The problems with focusing on quantity:  

  • Quality drops with speed. Candidates mass apply using the same generic application materials for every job resulting in low-quality applications.
  • Candidate frustration mounts the more applications submitted without hearing anything back.
  • Employers inundated with irrelevant, unqualified applications, turn to tech solutions to review and filter candidates before a human sees them.

What if people didn't have to choose between quality and quantity when applying to jobs?

Now, they don't have to. Jobflow improves the modern, transactional job application process by solving for quality at the speed at which people apply to jobs, by instantly giving them the highest-quality application materials tailored to each job.

Jobflow’s AI-powered web application optimizes and tailors your resume and drafts a personalized cover letter to match any job you apply to - in seconds.
Simply… 
1) upload your current resume
2) copy and paste the details of the job posting you want to apply to
3) and within seconds you'll be able to download a formatted, ATS-friendly resume and cover letter that highlights your skills and experience optimized to match what the employer is looking for in prospective hires.

Jobflow isn’t the only way to optimize your resume, but it’s certainly the simplest.  Other AI tools like ChatGPT require you to do all the prompting work to arrive at the perfect output, they are prone to fabricating details, and you’ll still need to take the writing and create a formatted resume document.  And then replicate that work for every job you apply to really stand out from the crowd.   Other resume tools simply point out issues with your current resume and require you to go through resume builder-like steps to correct the issues one at a time.  And they don't focus on tailoring your resume for each job application.

Jobflow is unrivaled in packaging the power of AI with deep recruitment insights into a simple UX that not only identifies issues, but informs, corrects and improves your application materials in seconds with only 2 user steps.
