Fill the repeat work
Your name, dates, schools, and work authorization should not take twenty minutes on every application.
About the founder
I filled out 400+ job applications by hand. Then I built the tool I needed.
I'm Mahad Farooq, a Software Engineering (Co-op) student at Western University in London, Ontario, and the founder of ApplyAgents. Before this, I built CasperCoach, a test prep platform that grew to more than 5,700 verified users.
I write every guide on this site. Everything in them comes from applying to jobs myself and from building software that reads real application forms every day.

The story
Why ApplyAgents exists
When I started applying for co-op and internship roles, I treated it like a numbers game. More applications, more chances. That turned into more than 400 applications, almost all of them filled out by hand.
The roles were different every time. The forms were not. Name, email, phone, address, school, degree, graduation date, GPA, every job with its dates, work authorization, sponsorship, relocation, how did you hear about us. Roughly forty questions, asked again on every single application, in a different layout on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and every company's custom careers page. Fifteen to thirty minutes each, gone on typing I had already done.
Repetitive typing is also where mistakes happen. One wrong click on a sponsorship question can get an application rejected in minutes, and a resume that Workday scrambles on upload is easy to miss at the end of a long night. I was spending my energy on data entry instead of on the parts of applying that actually decide whether you get an interview: picking the right roles, tailoring the resume, and preparing.
I had already built CasperCoach from nothing into a platform with more than 5,700 verified users and real subscription revenue, so I knew how to ship software people rely on. I started by automating my own applications, and that work became ApplyAgents.
There are plenty of tools that blast out hundreds of applications in your name. I think that is the wrong answer. Spray and pray applications with made up answers hurt the people sending them. ApplyAgents does the opposite: it handles the repetitive typing, fills only what it can verify from your saved profile, and leaves the decision to submit with you.
Experience
What I have built and studied
Aug 2022 to Oct 2025
Growth, Cashu Group
Grew personal brand channels to 50M+ views and 100K+ followers by testing hooks, thumbnails, and retention data. It taught me to treat what people actually do as the only metric that counts.
Mar 2025 to present
Founder and full stack engineer, CasperCoach
Built a Casper test prep platform in Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js and grew it from zero to 5,700+ verified medical school applicants and $12K+ in revenue, with real time AI scoring and self serve Stripe billing.
Sep 2025 to present
Software Engineering (Co-op), Western University
Bachelor of Engineering, expected April 2029. The co-op program is where I hit the application grind: hundreds of internship postings, every one on a different form.
Jan 2026 to Apr 2026
Hospital asset tracking system, Parkwood Institute
Built a real time React and TypeScript tracking app that helped hospital staff find equipment 60% faster, with a low power update strategy that extended device battery life.
2026 to present
Founder, ApplyAgents
Turned the autofill script I wrote for my own applications into a Chrome extension that fills Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, and more, and always stops before Submit.
How ApplyAgents works
Faster forms. Your final call.
Three rules I built it around, because I wanted a tool I would trust with my own applications.
Show what needs you
If ApplyAgents is not sure what a field means, it flags it instead of guessing. It never invents facts about you.
Submit stays yours
ApplyAgents fills the form and stops. You review every answer and click Submit yourself.
Editorial standards
How I write the guides on this site
Job seekers make real decisions based on this advice, so I hold it to a simple standard.
- Every guide is written from first hand experience: my own applications, what ApplyAgents sees on real application forms, and what recruiters and hiring systems actually do.
- Statistics link to their original source, and I say when a study is small or comes from a company with an interest in the answer.
- I use AI tools to help research and edit. Every article is reviewed, fact checked, and approved by me before it is published.
- No advice I would not follow myself. If something is a myth, like the claim that 75% of resumes are rejected by robots, I say so.
- Articles show the date they were last updated, and I revise them when hiring systems or the evidence change.
