Simplify alternatives: how Engage compares
Simplify is best known for Simplify Copilot, a Chrome extension that autofills job applications on common applicant tracking systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever. It also offers a job tracker, a job board popular with students and new grads, and paid AI features for tailoring resumes.
What Simplify does well
- Fast autofill on major applicant tracking systems, while you still review each application.
- Core features are free.
- A built-in tracker keeps applications organised.
- Especially popular for internship and new-grad recruiting.
Why people look for Simplify alternatives
- It speeds up the traditional application but doesn't change it — you still submit into an employer's applicant queue.
- Your application is screened before anyone decides whether to talk to you.

Where Engage is different
A different problem
Simplify makes applying faster. Engage changes how you and employers find each other: you swipe on roles recommended for you, recruiters see your interest, and you connect when they're interested too.
Help beyond the form
Boba helps with interview scheduling, reminders, and preparation. With premium, it also finds relevant roles on external sources and asks whether you want to apply.
