Your how-to-apply checklist

For every job, we list what the ad tells you to do to apply. That covers documents, file types, and page and word limits. It also covers the closing date, eligibility, referees, extra stages and any rule about AI. Each item quotes the ad, and our code checks the quote is really there. It's free.

Read your checklist

It's on the job's page, under How to apply: your checklist. It appears a few seconds after you add the ad.

  • Tick each item as you do it. The count shows how many are done.
  • Open Where the ad says it to see the ad's exact words.
  • The ad doesn't say means a common rule, such as a closing date or file type, isn't in the ad.

If something looks wrong

Each item comes from the ad's words, but check anything important against the ad itself. If we read something wrong, email us with the job, and we'll put it right.

If reading fails, choose Try again. Your free preview, kit and documents wait until the checklist is done. That's in case the employer asks you not to use AI.

Emails from the employer

An invite or email from the employer can add new steps, such as a recorded video interview. Add it as An email or task from the employer, and we check the job's rules again.
