What is Simplify Jobs?
Simplify Jobs is a Chrome extension that auto-fills job application forms using your saved profile. When you visit an application page on any job board, Simplify detects the form fields and populates them from your stored CV data — saving the time spent re-entering the same information on every application. It does not search for jobs, score your CV against requirements, or tailor your application per role.

Different Tools, Different Problems
Simplify Jobs solves the data-entry problem: filling in the same name, phone number, and work history on every application form is tedious, and Simplify eliminates that friction. It is a time-saver for the application submission step.
Atlas Job solves the job-discovery and match-quality problem: finding the right roles, ensuring your CV scores above the ATS threshold, and crafting personalised outreach. These are earlier in the funnel and have a larger impact on interview conversion rate than the time spent filling forms.
Verdict
Simplify Jobs and Atlas Job are not direct competitors — they address different friction points. If you are already finding good roles and just want faster form-filling, Simplify is excellent. If you want help finding the right roles and maximising your match score before you even reach the application form, Atlas Job is the right tool — and it costs less than Simplify's Pro plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Simplify Jobs work on UK job boards?
Simplify Jobs works on any website with a job application form, including UK boards like Reed, Totaljobs, and CV-Library. However, it only fills forms — it does not search for jobs or score your CV against requirements.
What does Atlas Job do that Simplify Jobs cannot?
Atlas Job finds jobs automatically across eight UK boards, scores your CV against each role's requirements, tailors your CV to improve the ATS score, and drafts a personalised cover letter. Simplify Jobs only fills in your existing profile data into application forms — it does not find jobs or improve your application quality.
