The best Chrome extensions for job seekers

Extensions that help with finding jobs, filling in applications and tracking where you applied, what each does, and what it costs. Checked October 2026.

A job search has three slow parts: finding good jobs, filling in applications, and keeping track of where you applied. Different extensions help with each. You don’t need all of them. Pick one for the part that wastes most of your time.

Prices and features checked in October 2026. Products change, so check each one’s site before you rely on it.

For finding jobs

Jobly

Our own extension, so take this with a pinch of salt. Jobly reads the career pages of hundreds of companies around the world, plus three remote job boards and lists tech jobs (product design, frontend, product management, AI/ML and fullstack) with their real posting date. It hides anything older than 60 days and alerts you to new matches. It’s free, needs no account, and keeps your preferences in your browser.

Good for: seeing new tech jobs from the source early. Not for: jobs outside tech, or applying for you.

HiringCafe (a website, not an extension)

HiringCafe collects jobs from company career pages and refreshes them several times a day, with links to the employer’s own site. It’s free for job seekers and earns money from employers. It covers far more industries than Jobly, and you use it in a browser tab.

For filling in applications

Simplify Copilot

Simplify fills in application forms for you across many applicant tracking systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday, and keeps a list of jobs you applied to. The core autofill is free. Simplify+ adds AI features and costs $39.99 a month (weekly and three-month plans are also offered). It fills forms; you still review and submit.

Good for: applying to many roles without retyping your details. Worth knowing: it reads the application pages you visit, which it needs to fill them in.

For keeping track

Teal

Teal bookmarks jobs from many job sites into a tracker and includes a résumé builder. Tracking is free; AI writing help is limited on the free plan.

Huntr

Huntr is a board-style tracker (columns such as Wishlist, Applied, Interview) with an extension to save jobs. There’s a free plan; paid plans add more.

How to choose

  • Missing good jobs or seeing them late? A finder such as Jobly or HiringCafe.
  • Spending evenings retyping your work history? An autofill tool such as Simplify.
  • Losing track of where you applied? A tracker such as Teal or Huntr, or a spreadsheet.

Check the permissions

Before installing any extension, open its Chrome Web Store page and read what it can access. Autofill tools need to read the pages you apply on. Look for tools that read only the page you ask them to: Jobly, for example, reads a tab only when you click Save or Autofill, and never your browsing history. See Jobly’s permissions.
