In short

How do I follow up on job applications that got no reply?

WebRun reviews your FlexJobs applied jobs every Wednesday and finds the roles with no reply after ten days. It drafts a short follow-up in Gmail on the original thread for each, leaves every message unsent for your review, and sends you the chase list on WhatsApp ordered by how long each has been silent.

  • Silent applications get chased on day ten, not forgotten
  • Every follow-up is written and waiting, so sending takes one click
  • Closed listings drop off the list instead of eating your attention

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email employers without me?

No. Every follow-up is saved as an unsent Gmail draft. WebRun writes the note and you decide whether to send it, so a hiring manager never receives a message you have not read.

Does it apply for jobs on my behalf?

No. It only reads your applied jobs list in FlexJobs. It never submits an application, uploads a resume, or changes your profile. Applying stays entirely your decision.

How long does it wait before chasing?

Ten days with no reply is the default, which is long enough to look patient and short enough to still be in the running. Set it shorter for fast-moving contract work or longer for senior roles.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
