Oaki Alternative
Tailored CVs deserve to be read — not buried in ATS
Oaki tailors your resume for each application, then submits it through ATS portals where it competes with hundreds of others. Autoply also tailors each CV individually, but sends it directly to the hiring manager via cold email. Your tailored CV actually reaches the decision-maker.

Why people leave Oaki for Autoply
Both tailor CVs — but only Autoply delivers them to the right person
Oaki and Autoply both use AI to customise your CV for each role. The difference is what happens next. Oaki submits through ATS portals where your tailored CV sits in a queue with hundreds of others. Autoply finds the actual hiring manager and sends your CV directly to their inbox via cold email, so it isn't lost in the ATS pile.
ATS optimisation is solving the wrong problem
Oaki tailors your CV to pass ATS keyword filters. But even if your CV passes the filter, it still lands in a pile that a recruiter may never review. Autoply sidesteps this entirely — your tailored CV goes straight to the hiring manager's email inbox, where it gets read.
UK job boards and global reach
Autoply scrapes Reed, Adzuna, RemoteOK, WeWorkRemotely, and Google Jobs — heavily used in the UK and globally. The direct email approach works anywhere there's a hiring manager to reach, regardless of which job board listed the role.
