Stop retyping the same answers on every form.
The free TabsOnJobs Chrome extension adds an ⚡ Autofill button to the application page you're already on. Once you've tailored your resume for the job, click it to fill the form with your saved details and attach whichever tailored resume you pick — so you skip the boring copy-paste and just review and submit.
It's a helper, not a robot that applies for you. You always read the form and click Submit yourself. Here's exactly how it works, and — just as importantly — where it doesn't.
In one sentence
The extension types your name, contact details, and links into the form you're already looking at, attaches whichever tailored resume you pick, and then stops and hands control back to you.
The flow
Four steps, start to finish
Add the extension once, tailor a resume like normal, then autofill right from the application page you're already viewing.
Add the free Chrome extension
One click from the Chrome Web Store — no downloads, command-line installs, or developer tools. Add to Chrome →
You fill in your details once
In Studio → Auto-apply, you save the answers every form asks for: name, email, phone, location, and your LinkedIn / portfolio links. This is your reusable profile — you do it one time.
You tailor a resume for the job
Score your fit and generate a tailored resume for that specific role, as usual — the more roles you tailor for, the more resumes you'll have to choose from.
Click ⚡ Autofill, pick a resume, and review
On the job's application page, open the extension popup and click Autofill. It fills in your saved details and attaches whichever tailored resume you choose. You read the filled-in form, fix or add anything it couldn't handle, and click Submit yourself. Nothing is ever sent without you.
Be realistic
Where it works well — and where it won't
Autofill is genuinely useful, but it isn't magic. Application forms vary enormously, so here's an honest picture of what to expect.
✓ Works well for
- ✓Standard application forms, especially Greenhouse-powered onesThe most common ATS — these fill in most reliably.
- ✓The repetitive basicsName, email, phone, location, LinkedIn and portfolio links — the fields you type on every single application.
- ✓Attaching your resume fileThe part that's normally fiddly — picking and uploading the right file — is handled for you.
- ✓Simple yes/no eligibility questionsThings like work authorization or sponsorship, pulled from your saved profile.
- ✓Lever, Ashby and Workday — partiallyCommon fields fill in; expect to finish some by hand.
! Won't (fully) work for
- !Custom screening questions"Why do you want to work here?", essay boxes, role-specific questions — you write these yourself.
- !Multi-step application wizardsForms split across several pages or with unusual layouts may only partly fill.
- !Logins, CAPTCHAs and "verify you're human" stepsAnything meant to stop bots will stop autofill too — you handle those.
- !Phones and tabletsThe extension only runs on desktop Chrome (Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS). There's no mobile version.
- !Quick-apply buttons on job boardsSome boards' one-click apply runs inside their own app and can't be driven from outside.
The rule of thumb
Autofill clears away the boring, identical fields you'd type on every application. The thoughtful, job-specific parts are still yours to write — which is exactly where your attention is worth spending.
One-time setup
What you need before the first use
Autofill runs through the free TabsOnJobs Chrome extension — no separate download, no command-line install, nothing to keep up to date. Add it once and it's ready on every job page you visit.

-
Save your Auto-apply profile
Enter your name, contact details and links in Studio → Auto-apply so the extension has answers to fill in.
-
Tailor a resume for the job
Score your fit and generate a tailored resume as usual — the extension will offer it, and any other tailored resume you've made, when you autofill.

From then on: open the job page → click ⚡ Autofill
Pick which tailored resume to attach in the popup, let it fill the form, then review and submit.
Why a Chrome extension?
Browsers deliberately block a website from reaching into another tab to fill a form or attach a file — a good security rule. An extension you've installed yourself is allowed to do that, right in the tab you're using, without routing your resume through anyone else's server.
Good to know
Common questions
Will it apply to jobs without me?
No. Autofill never clicks Submit. It fills the form and stops, leaving the final review and submission entirely to you.
Does it use my real resume facts?
Yes. It attaches the tailored resume you reviewed and approved. Tailoring keeps your real companies, dates, and education — it reorders and sharpens, it doesn't invent.
What if it fills something in wrong?
You'll see it before submitting. The page stays open right where it is, so you can correct any field or fill in anything it missed.
Does my data go to a third party?
The form-filling runs locally in your browser tab, inside the extension. Your tailored resume comes from your own private account, and you can delete your data any time.
Can I use it on my phone?
Not yet — the extension runs on desktop Chrome (Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS). On a phone you can still discover, score, tailor, and track jobs; you'd just apply by hand.
Do I have to use it?
No. Autofill is an optional convenience. Everything else in TabsOnJobs works without it.
Do I need anything besides the extension?
No. There's no separate download or one-time command-line install to run alongside it — add the extension once and you're set.
Tailor once, apply faster
Create your free account, add the Chrome extension, and let autofill handle the repetitive part.
