"The whole thing works like this: exhausted job seekers upload their résumé and format their personal info. Once up and running, they're presented with various gigs one by one, which they can swipe left to reject, or right to apply - just like a dating app. When a user swipes right, Sorce's "AI agent" navigates to the company's website and applies on their behalf."
""This solves the annoying problem of filling out applications and managing multiple passwords," the company's blog reads. "[Job] marketplaces have chicken-and-egg problems. So we hacked one side first," the company continues in another blog, titled "What if Everyone Applied to Every Job?" "Next, we'll build out the employer side and the AI engine that evaluates & matches people and companies at scale," it threatens."
Sorce provides a swipe-based job application platform where users upload a résumé and format personal information, then swipe right to apply. An AI agent visits employer websites and completes applications on users' behalf, reducing manual form-filling and password management. The company claims to list about 1.6 million open positions and 400,000 job seekers. Company blogs frame the approach as solving marketplace imbalances and outline plans to build employer tools and an AI matching engine. Social-media reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with users criticizing further automation, low-quality web offerings, and the escalating use of AI by both applicants and recruiters.
