Hi, I’m Chad, the founder of Top Applicant! As so many people know, the job search is a difficult process, and I’ve learned some hard lessons throughout my own career. I owe much of my success to the mentors in my life—who still continue to share their wisdom with me. So, I created Top Applicant to share their insights with the world and help others get ahead!
As we continue to improve modern job searches, I find that many applicants share the same struggles I faced. Every feature on our platform keeps real people in mind. The biggest challenge for so many job seekers I found while building this platform was communication. So, I’d like to share how we help everyone overcome common challenges in the hiring process.
Job Search Scenarios for Applicants
Everyone’s work experience is different, so we continuously learn from people on our platform to improve it even further. With the right blend of personal and professional details, job searches with Top Applicant are simple for applicants and employers alike. Here are some of the questions that shape Top Applicant:
“I’m still in school. How do I start looking for jobs?”
When most people think of a job search site, they think of suits, ties, and degrees. But people need jobs while studying to get that degree too! At the top of everyone’s profile, they are able to describe their ideal job. That way, people searching for a part-time, seasonal, or temporary job won’t be bombarded with positions that don’t fit their life.
“Finding a career path is tough. How can I overcome job jumping?”
I’ll admit it, I felt a little ashamed of how many jobs I had on my resume while building my career. But as I talked to more and more people about their job search, I found that I wasn’t alone! That’s why we made it easy to build unique resumes and explain gaps in your work or school history. Just create and link a short video to let employers know the real person behind that resume.
“I’m finally on the straight and narrow. What now?”
I may seem put together now, but it took a lot of work to get here. Top Applicant is built to give everyone a fair chance at a great job. Our job search features like the matchmaker tool are built to empower transparency throughout the hiring process. Regardless of your past, Top Applicant gives you the free tools to build your future.

Job Search Scenarios for Employers
I used to have a hard time talking to potential employers; now I can’t stop getting questions from them! As Top Applicant grows, I find more and more ways that we can improve the job search process for employers as well! Here are a few hiring hurdles we help employers clear every day.
“I need to fill positions fast.”
This is music to my ears. Hiring fast is exactly what Top Applicant was built for. Our platform is full of job seekers looking for their next career move. So while job posting is free, paid listings are shown first to give employers the exposure they need to expedite their hiring process. We also made it easy to add pre-screening questions by uploading a video or attaching any relevant documents for pre-interview tasks.
“No one wants to work anymore!”
This phrase is usually a red flag for me. Top Applicant is full of people looking to build their careers. However, finding the right person for a specific job can be difficult. We made it easy to quickly read through cover letters and resumes. Employers can even find applicants who haven’t applied through our matchmaker tool and invite them to apply in just a few clicks!
“Where can I find the right people for my positions?”
Top Applicant, of course! We built our platform to be very similar for employers and job seekers. Just as every potential employee can track their resume, every employer can track their job to improve the performance of a listing and update it accordingly.
Employers can also use our video feature to share insights about job details and company culture they can’t fit on paper. Furthermore, company profiles are a great place to share social media channels and any other details about your company. The more transparent you are, the more people are likely to apply for your jobs.
