Sprout - AI Job Search

This app is carried by social media promotion. The AI generated resumes do not pass AI screening software and the job postings available are repetitive and not enticing. At multiple points I received the same posting anywhere from 5-10 times in a row. I received better leads and more interviews from competitor job boards and utilizing alternative resources. If you are going to pay for a resource during your job search I would absolutely not recommend this one. Your time and money would be better spent investing in a career coach to craft your resume and apply through any other job board or your standing network. Maybe if more positions were posted to this platform it may be better however this current iteration serves to inflate the number of applicants per posting without improving your ability to stand out compared to other applicants. Yes this will save you time, however it will not yield a significant return on investment. Would NOT recommend.

i’m tryna apply to as many jobs as possible after graduating in may. sprout makes that possible. i did like 60 apps in one night while watching netflix which i never could’ve done manually. i wouldn’t have done even 10 on linkedin. i noticed some job listings are kinda vague but when you click through it takes you to the company site anyway. i’ve had 1 interview so far which is a win in my book. the ai cover letter was a nice surprise — actually sounded professional, i only had to change a couple lines. i do kinda wish sprout had some kind of salary negotiation feature too. getting the interviews is one thing, but knowing how to handle the offer part would make this a complete package.

I wish I could leave 0 stars. I’m not paying to apply for jobs. Most of the people trying to use this app are people who are desperately seeking jobs and likely don’t have the money to pay $10 a week or one large monthly payment. I have seen developer responses saying that their “advanced AI” is the reason it’s so expensive but that’s not a good enough reason for prices this high. It feels like a scam because we don’t even get an option to free trial this “advanced AI” before paying such insane prices. 1st they expect you to rate the app before you even use it. Then they make you go through all the questions and account setup BEFORE telling you that you HAVE TO PAY to even access the app at all. This app is only useful if you already have money, which most unemployed people or underpaid workers don’t have! Will never use this app and as an underpaid recruiter I will be telling all of my applicants and interviewees not to pay for this scam of an app either.
