How it works

For practitioners

  1. Set your rules. Roles, pay floor, arrangement, and the skills and credentials you hold.
  2. Get verified matches. Each listing shows its trust score and exactly why you do or don't fit.
  3. Apply honestly. Tailored notes from your own profile; auto-apply only where it's allowed.

For companies

  1. Take the free check. SOC 2, ISO 27001 or AI governance, in about 3 minutes.
  2. See your gaps. A score by area and next steps, clearest gaps first.
  3. Get matched. With practitioners whose credentials a reviewer has verified.

Why we built it

ApplyDesk started as a GRC consultant's own job search. It kept hitting the same problems: postings tagged remote that required five days in the office, expired listings still being served, and contract rates displayed at a third of their real value. Mass-apply tools made it worse, spamming employers and risking candidates' accounts.

So we built the tool we needed: check every posting, be honest about fit, and never send anything in your name that you didn't allow. By 28 Views.

Questions

Will auto-apply get my LinkedIn or Indeed account banned?

No. ApplyDesk only sends applications on its own platform, to employers who accept them. For LinkedIn, Indeed and other sites it prepares a tailored application and you submit it yourself, because their terms prohibit automation.

What does "verified" mean?

For listings: our scan opened and checked the posting before listing it. For credentials: a reviewer checked the member's evidence against the issuer's own record. Neither is automatic guesswork.

Who can see my information?

Profiles and photos are visible to signed-in members only. Your auto-apply rules, pay floors and notes are private to you.

Is the readiness check an audit?

No. It's a free self-assessment that shows your likely gaps and next steps. It isn't an audit, certification or attestation, and ApplyDesk isn't affiliated with the AICPA or ISO.

What does it cost?

Everything is free during the beta. Proposed prices are on the plans page, and "Notify me" tells us what you'd pay for.
