Applyhero Reviews 50

People complaining about Apply Hero need patience. It's not instant magic. I spent 45 minutes configuring everything properly. The first batch had some mismatches. I added those terms to exclusions. Problem solved. Now getting 10+ quality applications daily. All relevant. Four interviews so far. One offer on the table. For $29, it’s saved me countless hours. The support team responds within 24 hours consistently.

Tried a few job application tools before landing on Apply Hero. It's more reliable than
most, though it does have its quirks. The setup took me longer than advertised (about 30
mins to get everything right), but once running it was pretty hands-off. Got about 60-70
applications out in two weeks, which led to 4 callbacks and eventually my current role.
The tracking feature could use some work - sometimes applications would show as
pending"" forever. But for the price, can't really complain. Would use again and definitely"
"recommend the product.

Apply Hero helped me land my current position after 2 months of searching. The free
version is okay but limited - upgrading to premium was worth it for me. It's not perfect -
sometimes it matched me with jobs that weren't quite right, and occasionally the
automatic cover letter needed editing. But overall it saved me countless hours of
scrolling through job boards. The daily application reports were really helpful to keep
track of everything. Just don't expect it to do 100% of the work for you.

within 2 minutes of paying $29 for a month's subscription, I knew i'd been scammed. don't do it!

there simply aren't any viable (recent) jobs to apply for on this app, and the search filters don't work at all.

Also, don't waste your time trying to contact them, they will simply ignore you.

as per the t&c's: "All sales are final. We do not offer refunds for any purchases or subscriptions"

Its a scam. No jobs are getting applied. Luke, the person in the chat does not respond at all.

My experience with ApplyHero was deeply disappointing due to several critical issues:

Inaccurate Job Filtering and Misrepresented AI: The platform's Auto Apply feature consistently failed to adhere to my strict filter settings, applying to irrelevant positions. Their claims of AI-driven job matching based on resumes are demonstrably false. The "AI" capabilities, if they exist, are rudimentary and do not justify the subscription cost.

Inadequate AI Resume Generation: The AI resume tool produces overly simplistic, generic content unsuitable for professional applications requiring detail and specificity. It is essentially useless for roles beyond entry-level.

Flawed Job Scraping: ApplyHero's job scraping from major platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed is unreliable. Numerous listings resulted in "page not found" errors, suggesting potentially false application submissions.

Unsatisfactory Customer Support: When requesting a refund due to these issues, customer support was uncooperative, offering excuses rather than addressing the platform's failures.

Suspected White-Label Platform: The platform's limited features and the support team's access to hidden settings suggest it may be a simple white-label application, raising concerns about its authenticity.

Potential for Falsely Marked Applications: The prevalence of dead links raises serious concerns that the platform may be marking applications as sent to positions that no longer exist.

Location and Domain Discrepancy: The company's claim of a US presence (619 area code) contradicts its domain registration in Iceland, raising concerns about transparency and legitimacy. Meaning you can't submit a complaint to BBB.

I strongly advise against using ApplyHero. It fails to deliver on its advertised AI capabilities and exhibits fundamental flaws that render it ineffective.

This website is a total scam — do not even try it. The filters don’t work: you select “Europe” to apply for jobs in the EU, but it ends up applying to completely irrelevant U.S. positions. It only applies to 20 jobs instead of the 200 it promised. The owner (I assume his name is Luke) doesn’t respond in chat, and there isn’t even a chatbot available to ask questions. To “fix” the problem, he says you need to schedule something. I thought this was AI‑powered, but it simply sent my CV to 20 unrelated companies

Edit in reply to ApplyHero:
- Does not link to the actual job posting it is applying or already applied to. Doesn't even list the title/type of the position. Just shows the company name and links to their website.
--- ApplyHero's response to this states that in the *JOB SEARCH* it shows the position and company, not in the submitted applications page. This means that jobs this tool applies for agentically or that you select manually cannot be audited. Can't visit the post, can't see the job description, can't see what the AI did.
- Doesn't tell you what was written in the job application. Stunning lack of transparency overall. No way to validate what it does or tune it
- Will apply to the same companies and jobs multiple times.
--- ApplyHero's response is that sometimes the company made a new form for the same job. I'm not sure how this diminishes this complaint. It's applying to the same jobs, I got emails indicating as much. What if I don't want to apply to that posting or company? Nothing you can do.
- Lists "pending" applications. But they are sent in about 24 hours or less. Sometimes they are sent immediately. You cannot reschedule these or indicate a preferred time to apply.
--- ApplyHero says it automatically finds the perfect time to apply. It has not applied at night for me, it's been completely random. Nor do you know where I live, so how do you know if it's night for me? What if I'm applying to something overseas?
- The system for excluding keywords or companies is not very good. Cannot exclude pending or already applied to positions/companies.
--- ApplyHero misunderstood the complaint. I didn't state you cannot cancel pending jobs. My issue is that you cannot take pending or applied to jobs and mark the position or company as something you'd like to exclude in the future. The filtering on this site is not very sophisticated.

Assuming ApplyHero isn't a scam, it's not a very well made abstraction over some simple RPA. It lacks a lot of quality of life features and transparency that would justify the cost or even assure me it's doing its job well if at all. Put simply, it's not worth the money and I have little trust in it due to how the application functions and how it's customer support operates.

ApplyHero is also attempting to strong arm Trustpilot into having me share my email, full name, reference number, and phone number with ApplyHero in order to "recognize my review as genuine". I don't want to share that and risk retaliation. I'm sharing my honest opinion, such a strong reaction is a bad sign. The sudden influx of positive reviews after the wave of negative reviews dropped ApplyHero to one star is also a bad sign. Their downright disingenuous, combative, or demonstrably false replies to other negative reviews is a bad sign.

This product is not ready for production. You have no way of seeing what the applications actually include. Supposedly it includes a cover letter/customised CV but there's no way to tell if this is actually the case. The jobs that you choose manually never get applied to, it just keeps moving the application date back and they never get sent. To the rest of the jobs, it only sends a handful of applications every few days.

I obviously have 0 interviews and really feel like this is basically a scam, or else a tool that could be good but is no where near ready for production, let alone paying customers.

The video demo showcases rapid job applications and impressive marketing, but the reality is quite different. In short, this product feels underdeveloped, with poor engineering and a frustrating user experience.

- The filters are restricted to location, included keywords, and excluded keywords. You’ll need to manually filter out unrelated jobs to prevent the bot from applying to irrelevant positions. Even then, it still applies to jobs you’ve blacklisted.

- The bot searches and applies to jobs one by one, managing only around 8 applications per day. The whole point of using a bot is to increase application volume, but 8 per day is disappointingly low.

Overall, this product feels borderline scammy. I wouldn’t recommend it. A complete waste of money.
