Cycling through all six. Tap any point to stop.

Measured on six things

Scored job match feed with A–G ratings, ATS autofill, and...

Security

HTTPS enforced and DMARC present, but HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and SPF are all missing — 3/12 on the header checklist. No SOC 2, ISO, or pen-test claims found. Thin for a tool handling resumes and PII.

About this app

hirly is a job application tool for engineers, data scientists, product managers and designers. Every live role gets an A-G grade with a transparent breakdown across role fit, remote status, tech stack and seniority, so you can see why it matched. It then writes a resume and cover letter against that specific job description, and a Chrome extension fills the application form on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable and SmartRecruiters. You review the fields before anything is submitted, or opt in to autonomous apply per job. hirly is paid: there is a free preview of three scored openings with the materials written for each, not a free tier. Pro is $8.99/month for 15 applications a day; Autopilot is $29/month for 40.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

hirly is a job application tool for engineers, data scientists, PMs, and designers that scores live roles A–G against your resume with a visible factor breakdown, writes a resume and cover letter for each specific job description, and uses a Chrome extension to fill application forms on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable, SmartRecruiters, and LinkedIn Jobs. You review the fields before anything submits, or opt into autonomous apply per job. Pricing is a free preview (three scored openings with full materials readable, no card) and paid plans: Pro at $8.99/month for 15 applications a day, Autopilot at $29/month for 40. The product's strongest idea is the transparency — 'not a black-box 98% match' is a real differentiator in a category full of opaque scores. The execution is uneven. Design is intentional and developer-tool-flavored but starved of product imagery. Usability is solid on onboarding and the free preview, weak on documentation. Speed is good on desktop, sluggish on mobile (6.4s LCP). Security is the weak spot: 3/12 on HTTP headers, no compliance claims. Accessibility scores well automatically (96/100) but lacks a public commitment. Growth is a real wedge against Simplify and Teal, but the paid-only apply agent has to justify itself against free adjacent features. Overall: a promising, clearly-positioned tool with a security and documentation gap that a few config changes and a help center would close.

Measure by measure

Usability

Four-step onboarding (parse CV, set prefs, scored feed, extension fill) is clear, and the free preview of 3 scored jobs with full materials is a genuinely useful try-before-pay. Docs are a competitor comparison guide, not product help — no help center found.

Design

Developer-tool aesthetic with mono scores and A–G badges reads as intentional and differentiated from the pastel resume-builder crowd. Landing page is text-heavy though — no product screenshots or demo video in the fetched content, which weakens the visual sell.

Speed

Desktop Lighthouse 92/100 is solid, but mobile 69/100 with a 6.4s LCP is rough — over 3x the 2.5s 'good' threshold. CLS 0 and TBT 216ms are fine. Mobile job seekers on a phone get a sluggish first impression.

Security

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 96/100 is strong, with one contrast failure flagged. No WCAG statement, a11y page, or multi-language support found in the fetched content — so the automated score is good but the human-facing commitment is unproven.

Growth

Real problem (job-search grind), specific segment (eng/data/PM/design), and a genuine wedge: transparent A–G scoring plus per-JD materials with consent-gated apply. But Simplify gives autofill free and Teal gives resume+tracker free — hirly's paid-only apply agent has to earn its $8.99.

Improvement areas

Security headers are 3/12 — HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and SPF are all missing
No product screenshots or demo video on the landing page; the scored feed and extension fill are never shown
No help center or product documentation — the 'docs' URL resolves to a competitor comparison guide
Mobile Lighthouse performance is 69/100 with a 6.4s LCP, well past the 2.5s 'good' threshold

Design & Usability

hirly's design language is deliberate: mono scores, thin meters, A–G grade badges, and a positioning table that plants a flag between 'resume tools' and 'spray-and-pray bots.' It reads like a developer tool, which is the right call for an audience of engineers and data scientists. The weakness is that the landing page is almost entirely text — no screenshots of the scored feed, no demo of the extension filling a Greenhouse form, no video. For a product whose core value is a visual workflow (see the score, see the breakdown, watch the form fill), the absence of any product imagery is a real miss. Usability is stronger: four-step onboarding (parse CV, set prefs, scored feed, extension fill) is legible, and the free preview — three live openings scored against your resume with the full resume and cover letter readable, no card required — is a genuinely smart try-before-pay. The extension covers the ATSes that matter: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable, SmartRecruiters, plus LinkedIn Jobs. What's missing is product documentation. The 'docs' URL resolves to a competitor comparison guide, not a help center, and there's no visible explanation of what happens when the extension hits an unsupported form field. For a tool that touches your resume and your application accounts, that's a gap worth closing.

Speed & Security

Speed is split: desktop Lighthouse 92/100 is genuinely good, but mobile 69/100 with a 6.4-second LCP is well past the 2.5s 'good' threshold. CLS is 0 and TBT is 216ms, so the page isn't janky — it's just slow to paint on mobile, which is where a lot of late-night job searching happens. Security is the weakest dimension. HTTPS is enforced and DMARC is present, but the HTTP probe found HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and SPF all absent — 3/12 on the header checklist. There's no SOC 2, ISO 27001, or pen-test claim anywhere on the site. For a product that ingests your resume, stores your work history, and drives a Chrome extension that types into your Workday and Greenhouse accounts, that's a thin security story. None of these are exotic asks — HSTS and CSP are one-line config changes. The absence isn't proof of a breach, but it is proof that security wasn't a priority during launch, and for a tool asking for this much personal data, that matters.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility is hirly's strongest measured dimension: Lighthouse scores 96/100, with a single failing audit for insufficient color contrast. That's a good automated result. What's missing is the human-facing layer — no accessibility statement, no WCAG conformance claim, no multi-language support visible in the fetched content. The automated score suggests the team built with a11y in mind; the absence of a statement suggests they haven't committed to it publicly. Growth is a judgment on the idea. The problem hirly names is real: job seekers waste hours on poor-fit roles and repetitive ATS forms, and generic resumes get low response rates. The target segment is specific — engineers, data scientists, PMs, and designers mid-search — and the wedge is concrete: transparent A–G scoring with a factor breakdown, per-JD tailored materials, and consent-gated autonomous apply. That's a real differentiator against the alternatives. The catch is the competitive frame. Simplify offers free autofill across many career sites plus referrals; Teal offers a generous free tier with resume building and job tracking. hirly's free preview is three jobs, and the apply agent is paywalled at $8.99/month. The wedge is real, but it has to be worth $8.99 against two competitors giving away adjacent pieces for free. The category has headroom — job search is a recurring, high-stakes problem — but hirly's paid-only apply layer is the bet that has to pay off.

Conclusion

hirly is worth trying if you're mid-search and tired of opaque match scores — the free preview of three scored jobs with full materials is a low-risk way to see whether the A–G breakdown actually reflects how you'd rank roles. If the scoring resonates, the $8.99 Pro plan is reasonable for 15 applications a day with per-JD materials and extension fill. Before you hand over your resume and connect the extension to your Workday or Greenhouse accounts, though, it's fair to ask the team to publish a security page and a help center — the current site has neither. The product's core promise, 'you choose who hits submit,' is the right promise for this category. The next step is making the infrastructure behind that promise as legible as the scoring is.

Suggestions for improvement

Add HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and SPF — these are one-line config changes that would move the security checklist from 3/12 to near-full.
Publish a real help center and a security page: what data is stored, where, for how long, and how the extension handles unsupported ATS form fields.
Add product screenshots or a short demo video to the landing page — the scored feed and the extension filling a form are the two things a visitor most needs to see.
Fix the mobile LCP (6.4s): the desktop experience is 92/100, so the gap is likely unoptimized images or render-blocking resources on the mobile path.
