# FastApply Blog

> The FastApply Blog covers AI job application automation, ATS optimization, big tech hiring (FAANG/MAANG), visa sponsorship, resume tailoring, and tactical job-search guides. It is the editorial arm of FastApply (https://fastapply.co), an AI-powered Chrome extension and web app that auto-submits real job applications across 20+ job discovery platforms with support for 150+ ATS form variations. Content is written by Ekekenta Clinton (founder) and the FastApply team.

## About FastApply

FastApply is a Chrome extension and web app that auto-submits real job applications (not just autofill). It supports two modes:

- **Co-pilot**: you review every application before it submits — best for senior roles, quality control, and tailored cover-letter workflows.
- **Auto-pilot**: hands-off submission — best for high-volume entry-level and mid-level applicants.

Pricing starts at $14/month (US), with localized pricing in India (₹499/mo) and Nigeria (₦9,999/mo). The flagship offer is the 90-Day Interview Sprint ($38 Starter, $75 Pro, $132 Elite) — built around the documented average job-search duration. Free trial includes 5 applications, no credit card required. Founded by Ekekenta Clinton after 50+ personal job rejections.
