How Tsenta submits applications vs autofill extensions

Tsenta submits job applications for you, while an autofill extension only fills fields in your browser and leaves you to finish and submit. With an autofill extension you still open each form, check every page, answer the questions it can't, and click submit. With Tsenta you choose the role, or let Auto Apply choose it, and the agent completes the rest in its cloud.

The difference, step by step

Step	Typical autofill extension	Tsenta
Open the application	You	Tsenta
Sign in or create an employer account	You	Tsenta, using your application password
Fill standard fields	The extension, on the page you have open	Tsenta
Answer open-ended questions	Usually you, sometimes with a suggested draft	Tsenta drafts them from your profile
Tailor the résumé and cover letter	Varies by tool	Included on every plan, with optional review
Upload documents	Often you	Tsenta
Submit	You	Tsenta
Track the reply	A separate tracker or spreadsheet	Your Tsenta tracker and inbox

Autofill tools differ, so check what a specific one does. The pattern above is the usual split: the extension fills, you finish.

Why "submits" matters

Filling in your name, email and work history is usually the quick part of an application. The slow parts are multi-page forms, account creation, open-ended questions and uploads, and those are what an autofill extension usually hands back to you. Tsenta does them, so each application you choose ends as a submitted application instead of a tab you still have to finish.

It also means you don't need to be there. Tsenta runs applications in its cloud, so you can close your laptop while they finish. See does Tsenta keep applying when the app is closed?

Where an autofill extension is the better fit

Be honest with yourself about how you search:

• You want hands-on control of every field. An extension lets you see and edit each answer as it goes in. Tsenta's review controls come close, but you review at set points rather than field by field.
• Your roles are on sites Tsenta can't submit on. An extension works on whatever page you open. Tsenta submits only on supported employer systems.
• You send a few applications a week. If finishing each form isn't a burden, an extension may be all you need.

Using Tsenta from your browser

Tsenta's own Chrome extension is not an autofill tool. On a job page it sends the role to Tsenta, and Tsenta does the application in its cloud.

1. Install the extension and sign in to the dashboard.
2. Open a job on LinkedIn, Indeed or an employer's career page.
3. Click Apply now.
4. Follow the application in your tracker.
