How it works

How Capstone Careers applies for you

It finds openings near you, writes your resume for each one from your own facts, and fills in the application. On most sites you press Submit; with Auto Apply it can send up to 100 a week for you on sites that allow it.

It never types your Social Security number or date of birth, it stops and tells you when a form needs you, and every application it sends gets a proof page.

The four steps

It finds openings near you

You pick the job and your ZIP code. Every morning it searches Adzuna, a licensed job feed, and hundreds of employers' own job boards for openings inside your distance. It never signs in to your LinkedIn or Indeed account.

It writes your resume for each job

Each opening gets its own resume and cover letter, written from what you gave it: your jobs, dates, school and skills. If you did not tell it something, it is not on the resume.

It fills in the application

It opens the employer's form and fills in your contact details, work history, school and the answers you set once. Questions like "Why do you want this job?" get an answer written from your resume, which you can read first.

You press Submit, or it sends it

On most sites you check the form and press Submit yourself. With Auto Apply and "Send applications for me" turned on in Settings, it can press Submit for you on sites that allow it, up to 100 a week.

What it fills in, and where each answer comes from

On the form	Where the answer comes from
Name, email, phone, address	Your contact card
Work history, school, licenses and certificates	Your resume, word for word
Work authorization, 18 or older, felony question	Only the answers you set once. A blank stays blank.
Pay, shifts, start date, security clearance	Only the answers you set once
Veteran and disability questions	Only your answer, or "I do not wish to answer" if you chose that
"Why do you want this job?" and other open questions	Written from your resume and the posting, for you to read

You set the legal and pay answers once, in Settings. It reads them; it never changes them, and it never fills one you left blank.

What it never fills in

Social Security number
Date of birth
Driver's license number and passport number
Bank account, routing and credit card numbers
Gender, race and ethnicity, unless you saved your own answer or chose "I do not wish to answer". It never guesses.
Signatures and "I certify" boxes, unless you turned on letting it sign for you

The ID and bank number boxes stay empty with a note that says "Type this yourself."

When it stops and hands the application back

The site asks you to prove you are a person (a captcha). It never tries to get past one.
The site wants you to sign in or make an account.
A required question is still blank: one your facts do not answer, or a legal, pay or personal question you have not set.
The form has an "I certify" box or a signature and you have not let it sign for you.
It cannot find the Submit button, or it cannot tell whether the application went in.

When it stops, it emails you a link. You open the application, it fills in the form again, and you finish the part that needs you and press Submit. On some sites, like those that run on Greenhouse, it always fills in everything and leaves Submit to you. Workday sites need an account, so it sends those only if you turned on "Make employer accounts for me".

The proof page it keeps for each application

What it shows	Details
You	Name, email and phone
The job	Job title, employer and the posting link
When	The date and time it was sent
How	Sent by Capstone Careers, or sent by you with the form filled in
What the site said	The confirmation page and the words it showed

Unemployment work search logs and job training case notes ask for the employer, the job, the date and how you applied. The proof page has all four. It says Capstone made it from the application session; it is not a message from the employer. Each application sent also goes on your weekly work search log, which you can print or download.

What it costs

Looking at openings is free with no account. Your first application each month is free, with its resume and cover letter. Auto Apply is $9.99 for a 7-day pass, one payment with nothing recurring, or $34.99 a month, cancel any time.

Questions

Does Capstone Careers apply to jobs for me?

It fills in the application on any site it can open. On most sites you press Submit. With Auto Apply and "Send applications for me" turned on, it presses Submit for you on sites that allow it, up to 100 a week.

What does it never fill in?

Your Social Security number, date of birth, driver's license and passport numbers, and bank or card numbers. Gender, race and ethnicity only get your own saved answer or "I do not wish to answer". It never guesses.

Does it make anything up?

No. Resumes, letters and written answers come only from what you gave it. For a few multiple-choice questions your facts do not answer outright, like how you heard about the job or whether you worked there before, it picks the choice that fits your resume best and marks it for you to check. Legal, pay, demographic and other sensitive questions are never guessed; they stay blank for you.

What happens when it cannot finish?

It stops and sends you an email with a link. You open the application, finish the one part that needs you, and press Submit. It stops for captchas, sign-in pages, required questions it cannot answer, "I certify" boxes, and when it cannot tell if the application went in.

What is the proof page?

A one-page record for each application sent: your name, the job, the employer, the date and time, how it was sent, and the confirmation the site showed. Unemployment work search logs ask for these. The page says Capstone made it; it is not a message from the employer.

What does it cost?

Your first application each month is free. Auto Apply is $9.99 for a 7-day pass, one payment with nothing recurring, or $34.99 a month, cancel any time.
