hirly is a job-search tool for individual job seekers. It scores live job postings against your resume with a readable A–G breakdown, writes a resume and cover letter tailored to each job, and fills the employer's own application form in your browser. You press submit yourself, or opt in per job to let hirly submit for you.

How is hirly different from auto-apply tools?

Most auto-apply tools optimise for volume, submitting hundreds of generic applications. hirly optimises for fit: it shows which roles are worth applying to and the reasoning behind each score, tailors the resume and cover letter to each specific posting, and leaves the decision to submit with the job seeker.

Does hirly submit applications automatically?

Only if you ask it to, and only for a job you choose. Autonomous submission is opt-in per job and requires explicit recorded consent. The default is that hirly fills the form and you press submit.

How much does hirly cost?

hirly is free to use with your own resume, with no card required. Pro costs $39 a month and adds a resume and cover letter tailored to each job plus 15 applications a day. Autopilot costs $79 a month for 800 ranked matches and 40 applications a day.

Which job application systems does hirly support?

hirly fills applications on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and other common applicant tracking systems, using a Chrome extension that runs in your own browser under your own session.

Is hirly the recruiter platform?

No. Several unrelated products share the name Hirly, including recruiter and hiring tools. This hirly is at hirly.me and is built for job seekers, not employers. It was previously called Hireloop.

ABOUT RETELL AI

Retell AI is using first-principles thinking to reimagine the call center with cutting-edge voice AI. Thousands of companies now use Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we've scaled to $80M in ARR with a team of 50, up from $5M at the start of 2025, and are now valued at over $1.5B.

Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we're creating intelligent AI “workers” that act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers, continuously executing, monitoring, and improving every customer interaction.

We're growing fast and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move quickly, and have a real impact on one of the fastest-growing voice AI companies in the world.

Let's build the future together.
