How do you autofill Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby applications?

Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby applications are usually a single page (contact details, a résumé upload, links, and the employer's own questions) served from job-boards.greenhouse.io, jobs.lever.co and jobs.ashbyhq.com, and you can usually apply without an account. Your browser's built-in autofill covers name, email and phone but not custom questions or dropdowns. An extension can fill the whole page from what you've answered before; formdone does that, and asks you for anything it doesn't know. Get early access free.

What these forms ask

Name, email, phone and location; a résumé upload and sometimes a cover letter; LinkedIn, GitHub or portfolio links; then the employer's own questions, such as work authorization, sponsorship, notice period or why this company. Many US forms end with a voluntary self-identification section.

Why browser autofill only gets you part way

Chrome's autofill knows your address and contact details. It doesn't know your sponsorship status, your start date or your answer to a company's custom question, and it often skips dropdowns and yes/no buttons.

How formdone fills them

formdone reads the whole form and fills each field from what you've told it before. When a question is new, it asks you once and remembers the answer, so the next Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby form fills that question too.

Check before you submit

Look at the uploaded file names, the dropdowns and any question about authorization or salary. A form that reads well but says the wrong thing costs more than the minute you saved.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to apply on Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby?

Usually not. The company's job page takes the application directly, so a filled form is one click from sent.

Will it fill the employer's custom questions?

Yes, from your earlier answers. A question it hasn't seen before, it asks you once and remembers.

Is formdone free?

Early access is free. Continue with Google or leave your email, and we'll email you once, when your access is ready.
