The problem
Job hunting has become a second job. An unpaid one.
None of this is your fault. The tools were built for volume, not for people. We started WhimApply to put the person back in charge.

Your search is scattered everywhere
The average UK job seeker juggles six job boards, forty browser tabs and a spreadsheet they secretly hate. Every board shows the same stale roles under different paint.

Applications vanish into silence
Three in four applications get no reply at all. Not a rejection. Nothing. You deserve to know where every application stands, the way you'd track a parcel.

Sponsorship is a guessing game
“Do you sponsor Skilled Worker visas?” shouldn't take a written cover letter to find out. For over a million international candidates in the UK, it does.

Tailoring eats your evenings
A recruiter spends seven seconds on your CV. You spend forty minutes tailoring it. That arithmetic broke the moment applying became a volume game.
How it works
Five stops between you and your next role.
Hiring is a black box. WhimApply works every stage of it for you, from the first search to the introduction that gets your name said in the room.
Stop 1
Give us your CV. Just once.
Upload the CV you already have. No forms, no re-typing your life story. WhimApply reads it properly: your skills, your level, what you're clearly good at even where you were too modest to say so.

“Your design-system leadership at Hattrick maps onto their first requirement.”
Stop 3
A CV rebuilt for the posting. A letter to match.
For each role, WhimApply reworks your CV around the job description: reordered skills, sharper bullets, the outcomes they ask for. Then it drafts a cover letter that sounds like you, not a template. You approve every word.

Stop 4
Apply in minutes. Track to offer.
The extension autofills the employer's application form with your tailored documents, so applying takes minutes, not an evening. Every application then sits on one line, from applied through interviews to the offer you say yes to.

Don't arrive as a stranger.
For every role, WhimApply finds the people you already share: former colleagues, university alumni, and the recruiters hiring for it. A warm introduction moves your application off the pile, and we draft it for you.

UK visa sponsorship
One toggle. Only employers who will actually sponsor you.
We cross-reference every role against the Home Office register of licensed sponsors and the employer’s real hiring history, not just what the job ad claims. If sponsorship matters to you, it’s the first filter you see, not a question you’re afraid to ask at the final interview.

Every application, on one line.

Cover letter · draft 1
Dear Fenwick & Vale hiring team,
When a bakery owner applies for £20,000 at midnight, the design has to feel as safe as their bank and considerably more human. That sentence, from your own job posting, is why I’m applying…

From people who were where you are
“I'd been firing applications into the void for four months. WhimApply's tracker showed me I was applying to the wrong stage of company; one filter change and I had three interviews in a fortnight.”
“The visa filter alone is worth it. Every other site made me open twelve tabs to find out a company doesn't sponsor. Here it's just… a toggle. I found my sponsored role in three weeks.”
“As a career changer at 41, tailoring my CV for every application was the thing I dreaded most. WhimApply's drafts kept my voice but did the restructuring. I stopped dreading Sundays.”
“Graduated into the worst market in years. The natural-language search understood 'junior role at a company that won't make me pretend to love hustle culture' better than my careers office did.”
“It's the calmest piece of software I've ever used for the most stressful thing I've ever done. That sounds small. It is not small.”
