By the time most people apply, the line is already long.

On a visa, speed and fit aren't nice-to-haves — they're the whole game. Three things quietly cost you interviews:

01
You hear about roles late

By the time a job hits the big boards, hundreds have applied. Recruiters skim the first page and stop.

02
Generic résumés get filtered

One résumé for every job means keyword-thin applications that ATS ranking quietly buries.

03
Sponsorship is a guessing game

You burn applications on companies that were never going to file a petition — and lose weeks doing it.

01
Upload résumé

Drop a PDF. We parse the text and embed it — nothing leaves our servers.

02
We match

Fresh roles at H-1B sponsors, ranked against your résumé in real time.

03
Tailor → kit

One click builds a tailored résumé, cover letter & answers in ~15 seconds.

04
Submit first

Copy or export, then apply on the company site — before the queue forms.

Built for the visa clock.

Other tools optimize for volume. We optimize for the constraint that actually matters when your status has a deadline.

Sponsor-only filter

Never burn an application on a company that won't file a petition.

Visa-readiness statement

Every kit can carry a recruiter-ready statement of your status. (Visa+)

Real-time alerts

Get pinged the minute a sponsor posts a role you match. (Visa+)

H-1B-aware prompts

Cover letters that address timeline and sponsorship head-on.

Everything aimed at one outcome: applying first, and applying well.

Sponsor-only matching

Never waste an application on a company that won't sponsor.

Every role in your feed is checked against historical H-1B petition data before it reaches you. Filter the whole job market down to employers who actually file.

Got 3 interviews in my first week — 2 at sponsors I didn't even know were hiring.

Priya S.
MS CS @ NYU · F-1 OPT
★★★★★

The sponsor-only filter alone saved me weeks. I stopped wasting applications on companies that would never file.

Diego M.
Data Engineer · STEM OPT
★★★★★

I watched Anthropic and OpenAI and got pinged the morning a role went up. Tailored kit in minutes, applied before lunch.

Browser extension

Tailor from anywhere you already apply.

Our Chrome & Firefox extension drops a Tailor button right next to Apply on LinkedIn and Indeed. One click, kit in a new tab.

Sources we read

Built on public job feeds.

We ingest postings the moment they go live across the major applicant-tracking systems — no scraping your accounts.

GreenhouseLeverAshbyWorkableLinkedInIndeed
Will FirstApply touch my LinkedIn account?

Never. We read public applicant-tracking feeds (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable). The browser extension only reads the job page you're already looking at — it never logs in or acts as you.

How fast is a tailored kit, really?

Under 60 seconds in the median case. You click Tailor, we rewrite against the job description, and the kit opens with a side-by-side diff you can copy or export.

“I built FirstApply during my own H-1B job hunt. Every feature exists because I needed it at 2am, refreshing job boards before a visa deadline. This is the tool I wish I'd had.”
