Trailhead helps you finish the application form

Trailhead is our browser extension. On the systems it supports, it fills in your details, your saved answers and your tailored resume, asks about the rest, and you press Submit.

The Trailhead panel docked beside an application form after filling, with 8 fields filled and 6 that need you.

What it does

  • Finds the fields on an application form and tells you what happens next.
  • Fills in your details, your saved answers and the resume you tailored for that job.
  • Marks what it is unsure about and asks one question at a time.
  • Gives you a review list and leaves legal and demographic questions to you.
  • Never presses Submit. Once you say you applied, it marks the job Applied in your pipeline, with an Undo.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open the application. Trailhead finds the fields and tells you what happens next.

  3. Step 3

Questions

Does Trailhead submit my application?

No. It never presses Submit. You check the form and press it yourself.

Which employer systems does it work on?

It fills forms on three systems that have passed our checks. On a few others it helps with sign-in pages, plain text boxes, your saved answers and your resume. Where it cannot help, it says so.

What does it do on my phone?

In the iPhone app, it hands you your answers and your resume, one at a time, while you fill the form yourself.

What if it is not sure about an answer?

It marks the field and asks you. Legal and demographic questions are always left for you to answer.
