An agent can read every posting that went up overnight, compare each one with your résumé, and draft an application for the ones that fit. Every other job seeker’s agent can do the same.
The morning, today.
Three alert emails, forty new postings. Most are wrong, and each is wrong in a small way you have to open it to see. The wrong city. A level above you, or below. A staffing agency reposting a role you already saw. A title that sounds right on a job that is not.
If an agent drafts your applications, you also have forty drafts. Every one has to be checked against what you really did, because your name goes on it.
You get through a handful. The rest wait, and tomorrow forty more arrive.
One list.
In Cube the roles live in a sheet, and a task goes through the new ones every morning. For each role the agent proposes a verdict, apply or pass, and says why.
That run is one line in your list. Open it and there is one page. On top is the agent’s note for the day: what is new, which roles it would put first, where it was unsure. Below it, Cube lists every action the agent proposes, each with the row it is about: the role, the company, the place, the reason.
Nothing is marked until you sign. When you sign, Cube writes the verdict to the sheet. Sending the application is still yours: Cube does not submit it on the company’s site.
Talk and sign.
“Keep the three in Seattle, pass on the rest.”
One sentence, one press, and the morning’s roles are decided.
“From now on, pass on anything that needs a clearance.”
That sentence is about every morning after this one.
What freezes.
Most of your passes are the same pass. The wrong city. The wrong level. A company on your own blacklist.
Say the rule, or pass on the same kind enough times, and Cube proposes to freeze it: a program marks those roles “Pass” before the agent ever reads them.
Before you sign, you see the case for it. How many times you decided roles like these the same way, and since when. A few of them, each beside your own verdict. How the rule does on decisions it was never shown. Which roles it would still leave to the agent. And what happens when it gets one wrong.
After you sign, the program’s passes still come to your page, folded and marked, and one press clears them. Skip one and Cube counts it as the program’s mistake. You can roll the rule back whenever you like.
What stays yours.
The exception. The company you would move for, in the city your rule passes on. The role one level up that you want to try for anyway. No rule can know those. When the program passes on one, you skip its pass and say why in a sentence, and Cube keeps that.
And every application. Which roles are worth your name, and what the letter says about you, are not things to freeze.
What it costs you.
I am not going to print a number here. I do not have yours.
The first mornings, you decide every role yourself. Those decisions are what a rule is made from. After that the obvious passes are folded, and what you read is the short list: the roles that could be a yes.
The task’s page keeps the count: how many fewer times you had to decide, how many of the program’s passes you later skipped or changed, and what share of the roles it now handles.
