Passive Job Search

Not looking. But not not looking.
Keep one eye on the market

You're not unhappy — but you're not growing either. Maybe comp is stagnating, or the roadmap changed, or you just want to know what you're worth. You'd move for the right thing, but you're not about to spend your evenings grinding through application portals after a full day of work.

Your Challenges

We understand
what you're facing.

01

You have maybe 20 minutes a week for this

Between your actual job, life, and the energy it takes to pretend everything's fine at standup, you're not going to spend Sunday nights filling out forms.

02

One wrong signal and it gets awkward

Your manager checks LinkedIn. A recruiter messages you on Slack by accident. The 'Open to Work' banner is basically a resignation announcement.

03

You'll only move for a clear upgrade

You're not desperate — you need to see enough options to find the one that's obviously better. But seeing enough options takes time you don't have.

04

The logistics of interviewing while employed

Blocking out 'dentist appointments' only works so many times. You need to be strategic about which interviews are worth the risk.

The Solution

How ApplyGhost helps

Set your preferences once — target roles, salary range, location — and ApplyGhost quietly surfaces matched roles from Ashby and Greenhouse job boards each week. Applications arrive in your queue pre-filled and ready to review. Spend 15 minutes approving the ones that interest you. Your pipeline dashboard keeps track of everything so nothing falls through the cracks. No public signals, no profiles to update.

Recommended Plan

Starter

When you're passively exploring, precision matters more than volume. The Starter plan (€29/mo) gives you 10 high-quality, pre-filled applications per week — a curated shortlist, not a firehose.

Your Advantages

How this helps you

15 minutes a week, not 15 hours

We source, match, and pre-fill everything. You open your queue, skim the matches, and approve the ones worth pursuing.

Completely invisible to your employer

No public profiles, no 'Open to Work' signals. Applications go directly to company portals through Ashby and Greenhouse. Your current employer sees nothing.

A high bar, enforced by AI

Match scoring means you only see roles with 70%+ skill fit. No noise, no mediocre matches wasting your limited attention.

Check in on your terms

Review your queue Sunday night, Wednesday lunch, once a month — whatever works. Prepared applications wait for you.

I wasn't actively looking — just curious. I'd review my ApplyGhost queue on Sunday evenings over coffee. Three weeks in, it surfaced a Head of Engineering role at a startup I'd never heard of. I'm there now, with a 35% raise.
