At a glance: When you open a job, SeeVee gives you two ways to submit: Auto‑Apply (we fill out the application for you using your profile and a tailored resume) and Apply Myself (we hand you the job link to do it manually). Auto‑Apply uses one credit per submission and runs in the background; the status updates on the job as it moves from Queued → In Progress → Submitted.
Apply Myself
The familiar path: we open the original posting in a new tab and mark the job as applied in SeeVee. Use this when the application has an unusual form, when you want to write a custom note in the employer’s portal, or when the posting requires extra steps (assessments, video, portfolio uploads). You still get the tailored resume and cover letter as downloads from the job slide-out.
Auto‑Apply
Click Auto‑Apply and confirm in the dialog. SeeVee submits the application for you using your profile data and a tailored resume generated for this specific role. One credit from your plan is held when the request is created. The job slide-out shows progress so you can come back later to see where it stands.
Auto‑Apply status, step by step
Queued — request accepted; waiting for an open slot.
In Progress — we’re actively submitting.
Needs Your Input — the form asked something we don’t have an answer for. Open the job to provide it.
Submitted — application sent.
Confirmed — employer system confirmed receipt.
Position Closed / Could Not Apply — the posting closed, the form blocked us, or the page changed. The credit is returned.
Failed — unexpected error. Our team is alerted; you can retry or use Apply Myself.
Cancelled — you (or we) cancelled before submission. Credit returned.
Credits and your plan
The Auto‑Apply balance shows on the job slide-out when you have one. Each successful submission uses one credit; Position Closed, Could Not Apply, and Cancelled states return the credit. If you run out, the button surfaces a billing prompt instead of charging silently—see Plans and what each includes.
What gets submitted
We use your profile (basic info, work eligibility, disclosure preferences from Settings), your tailored resume for this role (generated alongside the request), and a cover letter when the form allows. The tailoring respects the export settings you’ve chosen under Documents—font, margins, one‑page rules.
When Auto‑Apply isn’t a good fit
Some employer systems are notoriously fiddly—staffing‑agency portals, custom video‑intro flows, applications that require a paid assessment first. We’ll either decline these (button is not shown), or you’ll see a quick Could Not Apply with the credit returned. Use Apply Myself for those.
Tracking auto‑applied jobs
Auto‑applied jobs flow into Applications just like manual ones, so the rest of your pipeline—status changes, threads, tailored documents—works the same. The application card shows a small Auto‑Applied hint so you can tell them apart from manual submissions.
