Sites it reads
What it does
The whole job ad, not a link
Job ads come down, often before the interview. The extension saves the full description with the details around it, so you can prepare from what the employer actually wrote.
- Title, company, location, remote or hybrid, salary
- Posted date and closing date where the site shows them
- Skips jobs you’ve already saved
Company careers pages too
Many employers post jobs on their own careers site, built on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters. The extension reads those, and any other page that publishes the job’s details in the standard format search engines use.
Fills the application form, you submit it
On a Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workday application form, the extension fills in your details, attaches the resume you tailored for the job and drafts the open questions from your true stories. Everything it fills is marked on the page; you check it and submit.
- Name, contact, links and work rights for the country of the job
- Your tailored resume as a PDF, and your work history on Workday
- “Why us?” and other open questions drafted from your material, with anything unsupported flagged
- Agreements, consent and voluntary disclosures are left for you
Reads only what you ask it to
The extension reads a page only when you click its button. To show a tick on jobs you’ve already saved, it checks the job’s number on the job sites it knows with your account. It doesn’t send the pages you visit or your browsing history, and it talks only to your CandidThread account.

Why isn’t it on the Chrome Web Store?
It’s on its way. Until it’s listed, you install it from a download, which takes about a minute. Installed this way, Chrome doesn’t update it on its own; the extension tells you when a new version is out.
Does it submit applications for me?
No. It fills the form and marks what it filled, what to check and what needs you. You read it and press Submit yourself. After you do, it offers to record the application in CandidThread with the resume and answers you sent.
What if an employer doesn’t want AI-written answers?
When the form mentions a policy on AI in applications, the extension shows it to you and keeps its drafts in the side panel instead of putting them into the form, so you write those answers yourself.
What if a page can’t be read?
Select the job description on the page and click the extension to save the selection, or paste the job ad into CandidThread.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or Firefox?
It works in Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and in other Chromium browsers such as Brave. Firefox isn’t supported.
What permissions does it need?
Permission to read and fill the current page when you click it, to know the job sites’ addresses (so it can show when a job is already saved), to open its side panel for filling forms, and to store its connection to your account.
