Ready[Resume Tailored] --> Open[Open Browser]
Open --> Page[Application Page]
Page --> User[You Submit Manually]
User --> Confirm[Mark as Submitted]
- Kairos checks that a tailored resume exists and is approved
- Opens the job URL in your default browser
- You fill in the application form and upload the tailored resume
- Confirm submission via CLI or Web App, status updates to “Submitted”
Why Semi-Automatic?
- Respect for employers: No mass bot applications
- Quality control: You review every application
- Platform TOS: Automated submission violates most platforms’ terms
- Your judgment: Some fields need human context (cover letter, salary, visa questions)
