Hi all,
I'm the person who built this, and I'd really like honest feedback from people who are job hunting right now.
I've been job searching myself, and two parts of it were pure busywork: copying every posting into a spreadsheet I'd stop updating by week three and, while claiming unemployment, re-typing the same jobs into my state's weekly work-search log so I didn't lose a week of benefits.
So I built JobRequester, a Chrome side panel that does those parts for you:
- On a job posting, one click captures the job and company info, from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter and the career pages behind Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS and more.
- For the employer's Glassdoor rating and pay range, the G button opens a Glassdoor search for the company; once you're on its page, Read Page pulls the numbers into that application, so they're kept with it.
- It fills application forms from answers you've already saved, so you stop typing your address and work history fifty times.
- It counts your job contacts for the week and fills your state's work-search contact form from jobs you already tracked. You review and submit it yourself — it never files anything for you.
- It shows which job sources actually turn into interviews, so you can spend your time where it works.
- Instead of lumping everything in an "Interviewing" bucket, for each job application, you can set up what the process will be, such as Phone Screen -> Hiring Manager Interview -> Take Home Coding Assessment -> On Site Interview -> Offer. Each job is different.
It's free for up to 100 applications, no ads, no credit card.
Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jobrequester/akjcibbppckjljcncehmepplbpiiallj
Web app: https://jobrequester.com
If something doesn't work, such as a job site it can't read, a form it fills wrong, etc. please tell me with the 📣 feedback button at the top of the side panel. Those reports go straight to me and are the fastest way it gets fixed.
And if you try it, I'd be grateful for an honest review on the Chrome Web Store listing, good or bad. It's how other job seekers find out whether it's worth their time.
Thanks for reading, and good luck with the search.

The work-search log part is the detail that makes this stand out from every other job tracker. Typing the same jobs into a state benefits form after you've already tracked them once is exactly the kind of busywork nobody builds for, and it's clearly the thing you actually lived through.
Two questions from someone who'd use this:
How does the form-filling handle sites that change their DOM constantly? Workday and iCIMS especially — they look stable from the outside and then silently shift a field name after an update. Is it a per-site adapter that needs maintenance, or something more general? Either answer is fine, I'm mostly curious whether you expect to be fighting site breakage forever.
Does the per-job process pipeline survive a rejected application? If I set up a five-stage process and get dropped at stage two, I'd want that visible as a loss without deleting the record. It's a small thing, but it's exactly where most trackers turn into "why does my list look so empty."
The privacy angle matters too — a side panel that reads job pages and stores application history is holding a lot about a person. Where does that data live, and is there an export if someone wants to leave?
Good luck with it. The free tier at 100 applications is a sensible limit — high enough to be genuinely useful, low enough that it filters casual installs from people who'd actually give you feedback.
