What is Quick Apply and how does it work?

Quick Apply is a lightweight application option on Get on Board. It helps hiring teams reduce friction for candidates and helps professionals apply faster with only essential information.

For companies: enable or disable Quick Apply

You can toggle Quick Apply in these places:

Availability rules

Quick Apply is available for featured jobs (Pin or Boost) while the feature is active. You can enable it during job creation when you select Pin or Boost, or later from the job’s settings. Standard jobs cannot enable Quick Apply. If your Pin or Boost expires, Quick Apply is automatically disabled.

For candidates: how Quick Apply works

Jobs that allow Quick Apply show a lightning bolt icon next to the job title.

In the job view you will see two buttons: Apply now and Quick Apply. The regular application asks you to complete the full form, while Quick Apply asks for your expected salary, a resume, and any required questions. If you are not logged in, Quick Apply also asks for your email and you must confirm the application via email; if you are logged in, the application is sent immediately.

Steps to apply with Quick Apply

  1. Click Quick Apply.
  2. Enter your email address if you are not logged in and check it for typos.
  3. Add your expected salary (and English level if the job requires it).
  4. Upload your resume in PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, or TXT format (maximum 5 MB), or select an existing resume if you are logged in.
  5. Answer any required questions.
  6. Confirm your application from the email we send you if you are not logged in.

If you want to stand out, complete your profile later by registering and adding work experience, education, and the job-specific questions.

For companies: how to recognize Quick Apply applications

Quick Apply applicants appear in the Applicants column. You can identify them by the lightning bolt icon next to their name.

In the applicant card, you can access their CV and shared details such as social profiles, portfolio, and contact information. This data is available for unlocked jobs or companies with an active subscription.
