What It Is

HireFast is an AI-powered desktop browser extension for automating applications on LinkedIn Jobs. It supports Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Firefox. After users save their work experience and preferences and upload a CV, the tool scans LinkedIn job listings and automatically submits applications based on filters and AI matching results. Its goal is to reduce repetitive form-filling and the time spent manually screening jobs.

Core Features and User Experience

Its core capability is comparing a CV with a job description, assessing fit, and tailoring application answers accordingly. The tool supports filters such as job title, location, seniority, and keywords, as well as bulk applications, queue-based execution, background operation, and pause/resume at any time. One particularly useful feature is the dry-run/preview mode, which lets users review which jobs the system is going to apply for before anything is submitted, helping avoid completely uncontrolled applications. Note that the page only states that OpenAI is used to process CVs and job descriptions; it does not disclose the specific model, matching algorithm, or sample outputs, so users will still need to verify the actual output quality themselves.

Pricing and Data Privacy

Pricing is straightforward: the free plan includes 2 applications per day; the $3.99/week plan includes 10 applications per day; and the $6.99/week plan includes 20 applications per day. All plans can be canceled, but cancellation requires sending an email to the official address. On privacy, CVs are stored by default in the browser extension’s local storage and are deleted after the extension is uninstalled. When applications begin, the CV and LinkedIn job descriptions are sent to OpenAI for evaluation and answer generation. The company says it does not sell data. For resumes containing sensitive work history, contact details, or identity-document information, it is advisable to redact unnecessary sensitive details before uploading.

Pros, Cons, and Best-Fit Users

The advantages are a clear onboarding flow, a low entry price, support for major desktop browsers, and controls such as filtering, preview, and pause. It is suitable for job seekers who apply frequently on LinkedIn, especially those who would rather save time for interview preparation. The drawbacks are also clear: it is limited to LinkedIn and desktop use, with no mobile support; daily application quotas are limited; and users must assess for themselves whether their usage complies with LinkedIn’s terms of service. In addition, a publicly visible /api/ directory listing appears in the crawled page content. While this does not directly prove a vulnerability, it is something worth treating cautiously from an operations and security hygiene perspective.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from mainland China is not discussed in the source text, and the tool depends on LinkedIn and OpenAI, so real-world usability may be affected by network conditions, account region, payment options, and LinkedIn availability. The payment page filename indicates Stripe is used, but it does not state whether Chinese bank cards are supported. If you mainly apply for jobs in China, you may need to consider built-in application tools on local recruitment platforms or other automation solutions that support domestic job sites.
