How Hackly works

Hackly is an AI job application agent. You tell it what you want; it finds the jobs, writes a tailored CV for each one and applies on the employer's own site. You say yes or no, and go to the interviews.

1. You say what you want

Start in the chat at hackly.me/chat or on Telegram. You do not need a CV, a target job title or an account to begin. Tell Hackly what you are looking for in your own words, or send your CV and let it suggest directions from your own experience. It turns that into a search: job titles, level, places, pay floor and right to work. You confirm it with a few taps.

2. It finds the jobs

Hackly reads job sites such as LinkedIn and Indeed, and reads over 1,100 company career sites directly, so it sees roles that never reach the big boards. It reports where it looked. Since September 2026 it has found over 16,000 jobs at more than 5,800 employers, and about 2,000 new jobs a day.

3. It keeps only the jobs worth sending

Every job is checked against hard rules before any writing starts, and a skipped job is recorded with its reason:

• Right to work. In the UK, Hackly checks the employer against the Home Office register of licensed visa sponsors. For US roles it checks whether the employer has recently filed H-1B applications for that kind of role. Roles that demand permanent right to work, or security clearance you cannot get, are skipped.
• Level and fit. The right seniority, a pay floor you set, and a strong match between the job and your record.
• No spray. A tailored application to a well-matched role beats ten generic ones, so Hackly applies only where you have a real chance.

4. It writes each application from true facts only

For every job Hackly writes a new CV and, where asked, a cover letter and answers to the screening questions. It rephrases, reorders and emphasises what is in your profile; it never invents an employer, a title, a grade or a skill. Before anything is sent, every claim is checked against your profile by a separate step, and an application that fails the check is not sent.

5. It applies on the employer's own site

This is where most auto-apply tools stop, and where Hackly keeps going:

• Accounts and sign-in. Workday and many corporate portals want an account per employer. Hackly makes it with a dedicated application email address, keeps one strong password per portal in a secret store, and signs in next time.
• Email codes. The verification code goes to Hackly's own inbox, which it reads, so the application does not stall waiting for you.
• Long forms. Dropdowns, dates, tick boxes, uploads, page after page, the way a person would fill them.
• Proof. An application counts as submitted only when the confirmation page or the confirmation email is found, never because a button was pressed.

6. It asks you only what it cannot know

When a form asks something your profile does not answer, such as a driving licence or a referee, you get one question with tap answers, and Hackly remembers the answer next time. Some things always wait for you:

• Protected companies. Mark your top employers and nothing is sent there without your yes.
• Declarations. If a form asks you to certify something about yourself, for example that you wrote the application without AI, Hackly never ticks it for you. You decide, job by job.
• Phone checks. An SMS or phone verification goes to you; Hackly does not answer one in your name.

7. It tells you the moment it works

Hackly reads the replies. When an employer invites you to a test or an interview you hear first, with a one-page brief on the company and the role, written from the job posting, the invitation and the CV that was sent. Replies also show it where to look next: kinds of role and employer that answer get more of the search.

Three ways to run it

• Guided Apply. You say yes or no to every application.
• Autopilot. Hackly applies on its own, only to the kinds of role you approved.
• Explore. Hackly shows you roles and what they involve, without applying.
