Batch LinkedIn applications, then review every answer
One Comet user had an agent send roughly 100 LinkedIn applications in 40 minutes, but none turned into interviews.
- What they did
- A Comet browser user gave the agent a plain-English request to look for marketing roles on LinkedIn and apply. The agent found postings, used Easy Apply, pulled details from the user’s profile, answered basic background and schooling questions, and sent the forms. The user let it run and checked back later.
- How it went
- Around 100 applications were submitted in 40 minutes. None led to interviews, and the agent also marked the user’s French as Professional even though they could barely speak it.
- Tips
- Review every filled-in field before anything is sent, especially language skill and other self-reported qualifications. Have the agent pause and show you each application before submission.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Find [job title] openings on LinkedIn in [location or remote] that fit my background in [short profile summary]. Show me the first [number] matches with the company name and link, then stop and wait for my approval. For each job I approve, fill out the application with my profile details, show me every answer and any message or cover note, and ask me to confirm before you submit anything. After I approve, submit only that application and then move to the next approved one.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
