Job Application Autofill

FormSlayer

FormSlayer gives job seekers one saved profile and a single action to apply it to the form in front of them. The extension fills what it can recognize, then makes the remaining work visible: how many required fields are still open, and where missing-field markers point, so speed never comes at the cost of submitting something incomplete.

The problem

Applying for roles means repeating the same personal and professional details on site after site. Each hiring portal phrases questions differently, splits fields in different places, and buries required uploads in its own layout.

Copy-paste helps, but it breaks down quickly: travel and eligibility questions need judgment, location fields often chain together, and it is easy to miss a required answer when you are moving fast. The goal is not just to type less. It is to finish applications with confidence about what still needs you before submit.

One profile, many forms

The product centers on a profile workspace organized into familiar groups: contact, location, professional background, application preferences, and optional demographic details when someone chooses to save them.

On the application page, one fill action maps saved answers onto the host form. Labels on each site vary, but the underlying information is the same; the extension matches meaning rather than exact wording. For questions that need context (travel willingness bands, work authorization versus sponsorship, postal codes that imply city and state), it applies sensible defaults instead of dumping the same text everywhere.

What matters as much as speed is honesty about limits. Open-ended prompts, role-specific essays, and uploads still belong to the applicant. A live count of required fields left, plus optional markers on gaps, keeps the tool in an assistive role: fast where it can be, transparent where it cannot.

A single profile feeds the application on the left while the panel shows grouped settings, one fill action, and how much required work remains before submit.

Trust by design

Job applications carry sensitive data. FormSlayer keeps settings on the user's device and does not send information to external servers. Categories like demographics stay optional: fill only what you are comfortable storing, and the extension applies whatever you have provided.

The project is open source under MIT so the behavior can be reviewed directly. The portfolio link points to the repository; the case study focuses on the product experience, not an install walkthrough.

Overview

FormSlayer is built around a simple job-search reality: the same identity, contact details, and work history get re-entered across application after application, each with different layouts and label wording.
