What each Auto Apply status means

Applications

• Ready to send — prepared: a tailored résumé and cover letter are waiting.
• Submitting… — being sent right now.
• Submitted — sent. It only counts as sent when the employer's page confirmed it.
• Needs you — it stopped and handed the application back. The reason is shown. Why
• Skipped / Failed — not sent; the card says why.

Who sends it

Each ready application also says where it's heading:

• "Auto-apply can submit this one for you." — an open employer form.
• "The employer's system needs an account, so this one is yours to send."
• "Listed on a job board that hands off to the employer — expect to send this one yourself."
• "Auto-apply will try, and hand it back if the form needs you."

In Prepare only mode, every application is yours to send.

While a run is going

Postings move through Found, Tailoring… and Prepared. Each run shows the postings it touched with their rank, best first. Others show:

• Already prepared — from an earlier run; never prepared or charged again.
• Retrying — a step is being tried again.
• Set aside — it couldn't be prepared; the card says why.
• Not your titles — it didn't match the titles you chose.
• Closed — not charged — the posting closed.
• Not in your top picks — it matched, but ranked below the ones prepared this run (your campaign's jobs per run); not charged.
• Below the quality bar — its fit was too low to be worth preparing; not charged.

Runs

A run that stops making progress for several minutes is marked stalled, and the button changes to Resume so you can carry on where it left off.
