AI that applies to jobs for you in the United States
Yes, with two US quirks to know about: the equal-opportunity self-identification block and the work-authorization questions. This page explains how Applier handles both. For everything else, see how it works.
Equal-opportunity questions on US applications
Many US application forms end with a block of optional questions about gender, race or ethnicity, veteran status and disability. They are there so that employers can monitor their own hiring for fairness, and they are separate from the decision about your application. Federal law prohibits employment discrimination, and the EEOC states that it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a job applicant because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. The questions are about measuring that, not about screening you.
The choice to answer is yours. When you set up Applier, you can answer these employer questions in your profile, or skip any of them. If you skip an equal-opportunity question, Applier answers "Prefer not to say" where the form offers that choice, or leaves the question blank. You can change what you answered in Settings at any time, and Applier uses your latest answers from then on.
Work-authorization questions
Almost every US application asks whether you're legally authorized to work in the United States and whether you will now or in the future need sponsorship. The honest answer depends on your situation, and a wrong answer in either direction can cost you the job.
- You set the facts once. In the questionnaire you give your status, whether you need sponsorship and, for a temporary visa, when it expires.
- Applier answers from them. Authorization and sponsorship questions are filled in from what you set, not guessed.
- You can check any answer. When an application asks something you haven't answered, Applier fills in an answer and lists it under Answers to check in your dashboard. You can confirm or correct it, and your answer is used from then on.
For roles that rule out candidates who need sponsorship, see the sponsorship page.
Work authorization is checked again after you're hired. USCIS explains that all US employers must complete Form I-9 for every person they hire, citizens and non-citizens alike, and that the employee attests to their employment authorization on it. So the question on an application is a first screen; the formal check comes with an offer, and it's between you and your new employer.
Reviewing the personal answers
For applications with questions this personal, many job seekers start in Review mode so they see the answers before they go out. Even in Auto, Applier holds a match for you when it can't confirm the job fits a rule you set, and the dashboard shows why.
EEO form emails
US employers often send a follow-up email to collect the same self-identification answers after you apply. Those land in your Inbox in the dashboard under an EEO form label, alongside application confirmation, interview invite, assessment invite, not this time and offer.

AWSFrequently asked questions
How does Applier answer equal-opportunity questions?
These questions are optional. Answer them in your profile or skip any of them: a skipped equal-opportunity question is answered "Prefer not to say" or left blank.
How does Applier answer "Are you authorized to work in the United States?"
From the work rights you set in your profile. Anything you have not answered is filled in and listed under Answers to check, so you can confirm or correct it. See auto-applying to jobs that can sponsor your visa.
Where do employer emails such as verification codes go?
To an application mailbox Applier gives you, so applications do not wait on you. They also appear in the Inbox in your dashboard, labelled automatically.
