Applyfit reads openings from employers’ own job boards, NHS Jobs, Reed and Adzuna, and puts the occupation code, the going rate and the employer’s sponsor licence status beside each one. Add your CV for a fit score on every role, cover letters and application answers grounded in what it says, and a tracker that follows each application to its outcome.

How it works
Three steps, and the third one is the one people skip
Applyfit is a job search, a reading of the public record, and a tracker that will not let an application quietly rot. This is the whole of it.
Step 01
Add your CV once
Upload a PDF or a Word file and we read it into structured fields — roles, dates, skills, qualifications — which you then correct. That parsed CV is what every score and every draft is written from, so a correction you make once is a correction everywhere.
- Your CV is never sent to an employer, and never shown to another user.
- Change it whenever you like; scores are recalculated when you ask, not silently.
Step 02
Read the card, not the advert
Every opening arrives with its SOC 2020 occupation code, the going rate that code has to clear, the employer's sponsor licence status from the Home Office register, and a score out of 100 against your CV with the reason beside it.
- Where a salary is not stated we say so, and show an ASHE band rather than a guess.
- Where an advert came from an agency we say that too, and never read the agency's licence as the employer's.
Step 03
Track it to an outcome
An application moves from saved to offer through six stages. Anything sitting unanswered for weeks is flagged for a chase, and then closed as no response, so the board is a true picture of where you stand rather than a graveyard.
- Cover letters and application answers are drafted from your CV and the advert, then edited by you.
- Every document you generate stays attached to the application it belongs to.
The card
One card, every fact that decides it
A role arrives with its occupation code, the salary and the going rate that code has to clear, whether the employer holds a sponsor licence, and how the job scores against your CV. You read the card instead of the advert, and most of the time that is enough to move on.

Fit
Scored against your CV, then written from it
Add a CV once. Every role gets a score out of 100 and the reason behind it, so a long list sorts itself. When you decide to apply, the cover letter and the application answers are drafted from what your CV actually says, and you edit them rather than start from nothing.

Sponsorship
A reading of the record, with its reasons on show
Where you need sponsorship, the employer is matched against the Home Office register and the role is read against the going rate for its occupation. The result is a named band and the two or three facts that produced it. Never a percentage, and never a promise.
Sponsorship chance
High
- Licence held since 2016 with an A rating.
- The advert states the role is open to sponsorship.
- Salary clears the going rate for the occupation.

Tracker
Six columns, and nothing silently forgotten
An application moves from saved to offer through six stages. Anything left waiting on an employer for weeks is flagged, then closed as no response, so the board stays a true picture of where you stand.

Two audiences
Sponsorship is a layer, not the product
One search, one tracker, one CV. The sponsorship record is switched on or off by a single question during sign-up, and you can change your answer later.
If you need sponsorship
- Every employer is matched against the Home Office register, so you know who can sponsor before you write anything.
- Each role carries its SOC 2020 occupation code and the going rate that code has to clear.
- Where an advert comes from a recruitment agency, we say so, and never read the agency's own licence as the employer's.
If you already have the right to work
- Answer no to the sponsorship question and the licence tags and going-rate checks come off every card and filter.
- What is left is a job search with the occupation code, the salary against the national median, and a fit score.
- The CV scoring, the drafted applications and the tracker work the same either way.
