Simplify is a really incredible software that has really maximized the way I go about job applications, tracking and research. I had the lovely opportunity to speak with Michael Yan and asked questions about how the team plans to further optimize the platform. Suffice it to say, this is a product that he and the team really cares for the future of and I'm excited to see how the platform evolves.

Saw Simplify advertised by their CEO on linkedin and gave it a try. Thoroughly surprised at how well it works. Would recommend to any CS student looking for new grad jobs.

Do not trust Simplify Jobs with your data. They use a deceptive setup through a platform called Featurebase to make you believe you are having a private conversation with support, only to publish your personal information publicly on their user forum.

When I reached out for help, I expected a confidential interaction. Instead they used my name, questions and feedback verbatim, and turned it into a public "feedback" post without my consent. This is a blatant attempt to harvest consumer data to make their community forum look active.

Even after I caught them and explicitly demanded the removal of my Personally Identifiable Information (PII), they refused to take immediate corrective action. The metadata in their system even shows one of the co-founders manually tampering with entries rather than protecting user privacy.

They are more interested in "growth" and looking popular than following basic privacy laws or respecting the people using their platform. If you value your privacy and don't want your private business searchable on Google, do not use their platform.

This company sucks. They have the most misleading marketting ever. For black friday, they had a deal for 3 free months of the Pro subscription. I choose the option, and low and behold it wasnt 3 months free, it was just 50 percent off the pro plan for 6 months which would be the same price as 3 months free. Thats not 3 months free nad it never will be. Emailled the company about this and they were extremely slow to reply and did not refund me! Its ridiculous how conniving these bay area startups can be. All for a quick buck. Please do better in the future.

Has potential--but has a long way to go. The autofill tool is great--the rest not so much. They also tend to "fix one thing, which then breaks something else" They are slow to respond. My last bug email took 9 days to get a response. They need some customer success people--you can't take 9 days and then not fix anything

The website and extension look sleek, the advertised features also. Sadly it seems to be mostly show. For me a European customer on most websites not even the auto fill feature works. The extension is also not able to scan the job description properly. The customer support is not helpful either and just ignores you when you want a refund. 20$ for a week is very expensive already, but it's even crazier when the service doesn't deliver. I can only say, please don't use their service, make a PDF with your information for copy and paste and buy a LLM subscription for a month to let it scan job descriptions for you.

They use a scripted demo of their product to convince you that their product is good, and have you go through the process of uploading your resume and making a profile before they insist that you cannot use the product unless you put in a paid subscription. They do not tell you that they have a no refunds policy so if you realize that their AI is absolutely terrible at making resumes that would pass a human reader, you're totally out of luck!

I was out of luck on this one, don't follow me into this trap! This company gets an A for just attractiveness but an F in integrity from me.

The only job site built for candidates.

I've been struggling in the market for a few months now, and I've finally landed a job. Over 750+ applications submitted, and I wish I found this sooner. Would've saved me HOURS of my time if I did. Can't recommend strongly enough

I subscribed to Simplify plus for a month with a hope to ease out my job application process, and because the website promised easier job applications. But I realized in one day that they are not up to the mark. The resume was not tailored properly. I had to maintain and do most of the tasks manually and I cancelled in 1 day.

Here is the WORST part. They do not have a refund policy in place. It does not mention anywhere on their website that they do not refund subscriptions. Had I known this, I would have subscribed for fewer days. They do not have a trail version as well, which makes it more important for customers to be able to get a refund if they don’t like the product. And when I reached out to the customer service, the guy refused to refund, then agreed and then backtracked saying that he confused my ticket to someone else’s and I cannot get a refund.
Later, he offered me to use it free for a month or give it to my friends to use. Why would I use such a website again, or ask my friends to waste their time on it, and get their credit card details compromised as well. They seem to be a money grabbing business.
Overall, worst customer experience. It’s about integrity of the company as a whole here.

I will definitely go to all customer forums and talk about this, and raise a dispute against the company to my account. I am sure there will be more people who have something to say about it, and have not been able to yet.
