240 question patterns, learned the hard way.

02 The risk read before the price

The platforms this drives prohibit automation.

That is not a technicality we found a way around. It is the condition you buy under, so here it is in full, with the parts that cost other people money.

1. ATS vendors and job boards prohibit automated submission. LinkedIn's User Agreement bans it outright. Most applicant tracking systems say the same thing in their terms. There is no setting that makes automated applying permitted.
2. hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn settled in December 2022: hiQ paid $500,000 and accepted an injunction, and hiQ was reading public pages rather than submitting anything. A tool that fills and submits forms is a stronger violation of those terms, not a weaker one.
3. This category has a bad record. LazyApply sits at 2.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot across 110 reviews, 58% of them one star, for not working and for stonewalling refunds. Sonara collapsed in February 2024 and locked its users out in the middle of their searches. Judge this purchase against that, not against the marketing in the category.
4. Employers are adding friction on purpose. Applications per posting rose 111% between 2022 and 2025 while recruiter headcount fell 56%. Both Indeed's and Greenhouse's chief executives have publicly called it an "AI doom loop". The counterparty is actively building against the behaviour this harness performs.

03 The asset 240 patterns

The value is the phrasings, not the answers.

answers.mjs is 820 lines of ordered [regex, answer] pairs. A question's label is tested top to bottom and the first match wins, so the order is the logic: the narrow rule has to sit above the broad one that would otherwise swallow it. Every pattern exists because a real form asked that question in that exact wording and the rule above it missed.

[/\bare you a (bot|robot|human)\b/i, null],

[/(need|require|would you).{0,20}relocat/i, NO],

[/\d\+? years? of (hands-on |professional |relevant )?experience/i, 'EXP'],

[/(lift|carry).{0,25}\d+ ?(lbs?|pounds|kg)/i, 'LIFTOK'],

[/(do you )?(require|need).{0,45}(accommodation|adjustment)/i, ans(F.needsAccommodations)],

The playbooks name roughly 60 employers whose public application forms were observed, in notes of the form "this Ashby radio group behaved this way on X". It is public, checkable behaviour of public forms, recorded by the person who built the harness, and it is in the zip where you can read all of it. We would rather tell you that here than have you find it on your own.

04 Manifest 83 files, about 314 KB

The whole harness, de-identified on purpose.

Built from an allowlist of paths and a de-identification pass, with a secrets and PII scanner as the release gate. No keys, no credentials, and nobody's biography.

83 files. Node, no build step. Runs against a separate Chrome instance on a debugging port, never the browser you use yourself.

05 Do not buy this if any of these are true

Who this is not for.

Written to stop the wrong purchase, because the wrong purchase ends in a refund and a bad review, and both parties deserve better.

• You want a machine that gets you a job. This is not that, and nothing is. It fills forms. What happens after a form is sent has nothing to do with the code.
• You want a product you can log into. There is no app, no dashboard and no hosted service. You clone a directory, edit JSON, and run Node from a terminal.
• You want someone to help you set it up. Support is not included at this price. The setup guide is what you get.
• You want to hear the legal risk is theoretical. It is not, section 02 is the honest version, and we will not soften it on request.
• You want a LinkedIn Easy Apply bot. There is no LinkedIn driver in the kit and we are not adding one.
• You are looking for the best way to job hunt. Teal, Huntr and Jobscan are cheaper, well reviewed, break no terms, and are probably the better answer. Try those first.
