👋 Hey RemoteFront community,

If you’ve been clicking “Easy Apply” and wondering why you rarely hear back, here’s what’s going wrong — and what to do instead.

✦ Why Easy Apply Hurts Your Chances (And What to Do Instead)

1. Your application may never reach the company’s ATS
   Easy Apply often routes your resume through the job board’s system first. Most companies filter and review candidates in their own Applicant Tracking System (ATS), so your submission might never be seen.

2. You lose control over formatting
   Job board systems can scramble layout, bullets, or fonts. That can make your resume harder to read or appear unprofessional.

3. It signals a low-effort application
   Recruiters recognize mass-applied, generic resumes. Those stand out — but usually in a bad way.

What to Do Instead

✅ Apply on the company’s own careers site
This ensures your resume goes straight into their ATS — where recruiters actually search.

✅ Tailor each application
Customize your resume headline or an intro line specific to the company. It takes a few minutes but helps you stand out.

✅ Track companies you like
Watch their careers page or use RemoteFront — we index directly from companies so you don’t have to chase listings.
