    We’re excited to launch ApplyIQ, our groundbreaking AI job search agent that automatically applies to relevant jobs on your behalf. With ApplyIQ, Adzuna becomes the first major job search engine to prioritize quality-first automatic applications.

    Built on over a decade of AI experience, ApplyIQ uses large language models (LLMs) to intelligently match candidates with jobs aligned to their skills, experience, and goals. Unlike existing tools that focus on quantity, ApplyIQ emphasizes precision—ensuring only the most relevant applications reach recruiters.

    How ApplyIQ Works Users upload their resume, choose up to eight job titles, select desired work locations, and set salary expectations. ApplyIQ then:

    Searches Adzuna’s vast job database

    Scores matches based on job fit and user preferences

    Automatically applies with a customized cover note for high-scoring roles

    Users can monitor and adjust their preferences anytime through the ApplyIQ dashboard.

    Meeting Demand for Smarter AI Tools In our recent survey of 1,200 US jobseekers:

    87% wanted more AI-powered job search tools

    Nearly two-thirds already use AI for job hunting

    Almost 70% don’t view using AI as cheating

    However, concerns remain. About 25% hesitate due to quality and accuracy issues. ApplyIQ addresses this need for smarter, more ethical AI solutions—benefiting both jobseekers and recruiters.

    Built for Relevance and Reliability ApplyIQ is designed with quality control at its core:

    Strict filtering: Rejects 1 in 5 conventional applications; users are 2x more likely to be shortlisted

    Moderate volume: Sends ~5 highly relevant applications per user per week

    Resume integrity: No resume rewriting or keyword stuffing

    Built-in screening: Resumes must meet minimum quality standards

    Employer limits: Max of 2 applications per employer every 60 days

    Active users only: Users must confirm they're actively job searching

    Geo-blocking: Prevents out-of-region applications

    We’ve also created a feedback loop with employers to continuously refine candidate quality—more on that to come.

    A Legacy of Responsible AI Since 2015, Adzuna has been a pioneer in ethical AI tools:

    ValueMyResume helps jobseekers understand their market value

    Prepper offers AI-powered interview coaching

    ApplyIQ is our latest advancement—part of a full-funnel recruitment solution that combines AI matching, social media advertising, and automation to streamline hiring.

    From Our CEO, Doug Monro “AI should be a force for good in recruitment. ApplyIQ is our answer to the flood of low-quality applications and shady automation tools. It offers a responsible alternative—boosting candidate quality and hire rates for recruiters.”

    ApplyIQ is now available on Adzuna’s US and UK platforms.
