PRODUCT UPDATES
The 9 updates to Applystead that went live for every member on .
The roles and places you type under "The work I want" during setup now set your job search, even when your résumé lists other titles. Essential members who start their plan before setup now choose Auto or Manual right on the review screen, and new matches show up in your Queue faster in your first minutes.
In US metro areas, cost of living now includes what renting a home there costs today, so pricier cities such as San Francisco and Boston read higher and pay after cost of living compares more fairly. Pay is compared only in each area's own currency, and the Analytics map shows the difference more clearly when you switch to Salary ÷ cost of living.
My profile is now Account, for your membership, sign-in, emails and data. Your experience, and uploading a newer résumé, are in Resume studio, just above your résumé. Contact details, work authorization and the answers employers' forms ask for are in Applications, under Your answers, where you can still change the ones you gave during setup.
When you connect an email domain you already own, the setup check now reads its signing record exactly as your DNS provider publishes it, so a domain set up as shown connects on its own. Replies you send by email are also recognized as yours when your email provider uses a longer signing key.
Signing in without a free trial or plan now opens your membership page, where you can start a trial or choose a plan. Your profile and past applications are kept, and applications you approved wait until your plan starts. If a renewal payment fails, cancelling ends the subscription at once so that payment is never charged. You cancel on applystead.com.
Our team now sees at a glance how applications move through each kind of employer application form, so we can spot and fix anything that slows them down sooner.
The Queue and Applications lists no longer stop at a Load more button. More jobs and applications appear on their own before you reach the end of the list, so you can keep scrolling without waiting.
Coming from one of our ads? One screen now does it: upload your résumé, or type or say the jobs you want and your experience, then tap Start my free 14 days. We create your account from your résumé, take you straight to adding your card, and fill in your profile meanwhile, ready for you to check.
Your queue now stays stocked with more roles that fit what you're looking for, so there's always something ready to apply to.
