Show HN: MassApply – Virtual Assistants Apply to SWE Jobs for You (massapply.io)
I know from experience one of the most annoying parts of the SWE job hunt is filling out endless applications. It’s a time-consuming chore that could be better spent on interview prep, side projects, networking, etc.
I created MassApply to relieve SWEs of this tedious duty. MassApply handles the bulk of applications for job-seekers. Candidates fill out a form with their preferences (title, location, minimum TC, etc.), and we submit applications on their behalf.
*We will submit 40 applications free for the first 3 users who onboard*. Sign up on our website if you’re interested!
Feedback and questions are welcome!

For very competitive jobs I didn't find tailoring my applications to be worthwhile. I spent many hours writing cover letters and tailoring my resume for companies that I ultimately never heard back from. I found that time was better spent applying to more jobs
That said, I don't think mass applications are the only strategy job seekers should employ. I think a combination of mass applications, cold outreach via email + linkedin, warm outreach to your network, and maybe a few tailored applications to roles you really want is best to maximize your odds
