Bidder Onboarding Guide

Install the extension in Developer mode in Chrome. Follow these steps:

1. Enable Developer mode (top-right toggle). This reveals developer controls.
2. Click "Load unpacked" (top-left) to open the folder picker.
3. Select the extension folder (e.g. job-apply-extension) and click Select Folder.
4. The extension will appear in the list — verify the name/ID. Click Details to review permissions and enable the Side panel if required.
5. Optional: open Keyboard shortcuts to assign a hotkey for the Side panel or other actions.

You can assign a hotkey to open the side panel (optional).

After opening the side panel, go to Settings and select the profile you were assigned from the dropdown.

If you see your profile name on the nav bar, the extension is installed correctly.

You can also customize hotkeys:

• SelectKey: For manually selecting a job description on unsupported platforms
• SmartKey: For quick one-click resume generation on supported platforms (Indeed, Builtin, etc.)

Generated resumes are downloaded to your browser's default Downloads folder. For convenience, configure a dedicated folder in your browser settings so you can always find and re-upload resumes quickly.

When browsing job listings, a red-highlighted company name means you have already applied to that company within the last 100 days (the exact window is configurable per profile).

This highlighting works across multiple job platforms — not just Builtin — so you can avoid duplicate applications at a glance.

Before you start applying, set the following filters on any job platform:

Only apply to companies whose names are NOT highlighted in red (i.e., ones you have NOT recently applied to).

You are free to apply on any other job platforms where highlighting is not supported.

If you are on a job description page on a SmartKey-supported platform, the bubble will appear automatically next to the company name.

To request resume generation:

• Type the SmartKey hotkey, or
• Click the bubble directly.

If the job platform is not supported, you need to manually select the job description:

1. Select the entire job description — from the title to the end, including salary and all details.
2. Click "SelectKey".

After a short delay, once the resume is successfully generated, the extension will prompt you to download the resume file.

Tip: Configure a specific download folder in your browser settings. This allows you to quickly locate and re-upload your resume during the application process.

While filling out an application form, if you encounter a technical question or a question related to your experience:

1. Click the Q/A button in the extension.
2. Paste the question from the form into the dialog.
3. Copy the generated answer back into the form field.

Once you believe you have filled out the application form completely, click the Camera button to save evidence. This takes a full-page screenshot and saves it to the server for admin review.

After reaching the final screen (e.g., "Thanks for applying" or "You successfully submitted the application"), take another screenshot. This proves you successfully applied to the job.

Requesting multiple resumes at once saves time compared to doing them one by one.

View your daily and weekly application counts, and see a Pie Chart of which platforms you used.

• Preferred platforms: Builtin.com, Hiring.cafe (others are also fine)
• Billing (red number): Shows your weekly billing count, used for weekend payment calculation.

Search and view details of all your submitted applications.

• Download the resume or job description for any application.
• See how the application has interacted with emails received from the company.

Bidders can view their own submitted screenshots and delete ones taken by mistake. Approve and Reject actions are restricted to Admins (org admin or bidder manager).

• View screenshots submitted by applicants.
• Delete any of your own screenshots that were taken by mistake.
• Approve or Reject screenshots for disqualified applications (Admin only) — a rejection will reduce the billing count.
