- Extension
The HitApply browser extension saves jobs from the sites you already browse and fills in application forms from your profile. Installing it takes about two minutes, once.
Video coming soonInstalling the extension in Chrome, from download to sign-in
Requirements
- Chrome, or another Chromium browser such as Edge or Brave, on a computer. Phones aren't supported.
- A HitApply account.
The extension isn't in the Chrome Web Store yet, so you install it from a download. That's why Chrome asks for Developer mode.
Install it
- Download the extension and unzip it. Keep the unzipped folder somewhere it won't be deleted, because Chrome loads the extension from it.
- In Chrome, go to
chrome://extensions. - Turn on Developer mode (top right).
- Press Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.

- Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin HitApply.
- Click the HitApply icon and sign in.
Next steps
- Save jobs while you browse from LinkedIn and Indeed.
- Autofill applications from your profile.
Updating
When a new version is out, download it again, replace the old folder's contents, and press the reload icon on the HitApply card in chrome://extensions.
