The average job seeker submits 27 applications before landing an interview, filling in the same name, email, phone, and work history on every form. Application autofill tools read your saved profile and populate Greenhouse, Workday, LinkedIn Easy Apply, Lever, and Ashby forms in one click, eliminating hours of repetitive data entry without sending your data to external servers.
The average job seeker submits 27 applications before landing an interview. Each one asks for the same things: name, email, phone, work history, education, skills, LinkedIn URL. Multiplied across dozens of applications, that is hours of repetitive data entry that adds nothing to your candidacy.
Version 1.6.0 of ATS CV Checker adds Application Autofill as a free beta feature. It reads your saved profile, detects the form fields on the page, and fills everything in one click.
What the Feature Actually Does
When you land on a job application form, the extension detects the input fields on the page and maps them to data you have already stored in your profile: personal details, work history, education, skills, and links. One click on the autofill button populates those fields. You review what got filled, make any edits, and submit.
That is the whole thing. No accounts to connect, no data sent to external servers, no subscription required during beta.
Supported Platforms
The auto fill job application feature currently works on five platforms that cover a large share of posted jobs. Each of these operates its own parsing and scoring logic, so filling forms accurately matters for more than just speed:
- Greenhouse - used by thousands of tech and startup companies
- Workday - common at enterprise employers and larger organizations
- LinkedIn Easy Apply - the one-click apply flow on LinkedIn job listings
- Lever - popular with mid-size and growth-stage companies
- Ashby - increasingly common at venture-backed startups
Between these five, you will encounter this autofill chrome extension working on a significant portion of the applications you send out each week.
How to Use It: Four Steps
Step 1: Enable the beta. Open the ATS CV Checker side panel, go to Settings, and turn on Application Autofill (Beta). The feature is off by default in v1.6.0.
Step 2: Make sure your profile is complete. The autofill draws from whatever you have saved: name, contact details, work experience, education, and any links you have added. Fields you leave blank in your profile will not get filled in the form. A few minutes filling out your profile now saves time on every application after that.
Step 3: Navigate to a job application page. Go to a Greenhouse, Workday, LinkedIn Easy Apply, Lever, or Ashby application form. The extension detects compatible forms automatically.
Step 4: Click the autofill button and review. The extension fills detected fields. Read through what was populated before submitting - some fields may need a manual touch, especially free-text boxes that ask for cover letter content or role-specific questions.
What Gets Filled
The job application form filler populates:
- Personal information: first name, last name, email, phone number, city/location
- Professional links: LinkedIn URL, portfolio or personal website, GitHub (if stored)
- Work experience: job titles, company names, dates, and descriptions where the form supports them
- Education: degree, institution, graduation year, field of study
- Skills: listed skills from your profile where the form has a skills input (see the resume skills section guide for tips on keeping this section complete)
Forms vary significantly in structure. Simple forms on Greenhouse and Lever tend to fill cleanly. Workday forms can be more complex, with multi-step flows that may require additional interaction between steps.
Privacy and Local Storage
Your profile data stays on your device. The autofill feature reads from chrome.storage.local, which means nothing leaves your browser. There are no API calls to external servers when the extension fills a form.
This matters because some browser autofill extensions or third-party tools route your personal data through their own servers for processing. The ATS CV Checker approach does not do that. The data you entered into your profile is the data that goes into the form, with nothing in between.
You also review every fill before submitting. The extension does not submit anything on your behalf.
The average job seeker submits 27 applications before landing an interview. Every one of those applications asks for the same information. Autofill does not improve the quality of your applications. What it does is remove the mechanical overhead so you can spend that recovered time on things that actually affect outcomes: tailoring your resume to the specific role, researching the company, or reaching out to contacts who might refer you.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of It
Keep your profile up to date. If you recently changed jobs or updated your contact details, update your profile in the extension first. Stale data in your profile means stale data in your forms.
Use autofill together with the tailored CV feature. The ATS CV Checker workflow at its most useful looks like this: upload or create a CV tailored to the specific job, use the analysis tools to check your keyword match, then use autofill to handle the mechanical form-filling. The two features work on different parts of the application process and complement each other well.
Pay attention to optional fields. Some forms ask for salary expectations, work authorization, relocation preferences, or referral sources. These will not be filled automatically since they depend on the specific role. Check for them before submitting.
What Is Coming Next
The beta covers five platforms. The roadmap includes iCIMS and SmartRecruiters, which together handle a substantial share of applications at mid-to-large enterprises. Cover letter field support, which would pull from a stored cover letter template and adapt it to the role, is also being evaluated.
Because this is a beta release, you will encounter forms that do not fill correctly or where the field detection misses something. When that happens, fill those fields manually and note what went wrong. Feedback during the beta period shapes which improvements come first.
The linkedin easy apply autofill support in particular is being refined based on how LinkedIn structures its application flow, which varies by job and by employer settings. If you hit issues on LinkedIn specifically, the manual fallback is to use the extension for keyword analysis and ATS scoring, then fill the LinkedIn form by hand.
Getting Started
Key takeaways
✓ Five platforms supported — Greenhouse, Workday, LinkedIn Easy Apply, Lever, and Ashby cover a large share of posted jobs, and autofill works across all five
✓ Local storage only — profile data stays on your device and is never sent to external servers, unlike some third-party autofill tools that route data through their own systems
✓ Profile completeness matters — fields left blank in your profile will not be filled in the form, so a complete profile is what makes autofill useful across every application
✓ Pair with ATS analysis — autofill handles mechanical form-filling while the ATS checker handles keyword matching; combining both covers separate parts of the application process
Update to v1.6.0 of ATS CV Checker from the Chrome Web Store. Enable Application Autofill in Settings. Fill out your profile if you have not already.
The next time you open a Greenhouse or Workday form, click the autofill button instead of typing your name and phone number for the 28th time.
