How the rat works

What is JobRats?

There are Gym Rats… and there are Job Rats: people who go after their next job every single day. JobRats is a job-search app made in Chile. An army of rats looks every day for openings that match your profile, applies for you to the ones you pick, keeps your applications in order and reminds you when to follow up.

Does JobRats apply for me?

Only to the jobs you pick. With the Chrome extension, you tap «Apply with the rat» on a LinkedIn job with Easy Apply. The rat fills it in with your answers and leaves it «Ready»: you check it and press «Send», from your phone too. It applies one at a time, at a human pace. It never applies to a job you didn't pick and never sends messages in your name.

Where do the jobs come from?

From LinkedIn, Get on Board and the careers pages of the companies you follow. The Chrome extension checks some of these sites from your computer, so keep it installed if you want the rat to search all of them. You can also add jobs by hand or share them from another app.

How does it know which jobs fit me?

It compares each job with what you set up: roles, keywords, level, location, work mode and salary. Each job shows a High, Medium or Low fit and the reason in one sentence.

How does the rat apply on LinkedIn?

With the Chrome extension, on your computer and with your own LinkedIn session (we never ask for your password). For it to work, Chrome has to be open (it can be minimized) and signed in to LinkedIn. The rat fills in Easy Apply and leaves it ready; you send it with «Send» in JobRats. On Pro you can let it send on its own. It goes at a human pace, with a daily limit. LinkedIn doesn't allow automation, so there is a risk it may restrict your account: that's why automatic sending starts off and you turn it on yourself.

How often does the rat search?

It depends on the plan. On the trial, once a day, and it brings you at most 1 job a day, up to 5. On JobRats, every day. On Pro, every 4 hours. The companies you follow are checked every weekday at 08:00 (Chile time). To search all the sites, keep the Chrome extension on your computer.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. On your phone you see your board, choose what to apply to, share jobs from the LinkedIn app, follow up and get notifications. On your computer, with Chrome open, the extension searches LinkedIn and applies to what you picked. You choose from your phone and the rat applies the next time your computer is on with Chrome open.

Does it work if I live outside Chile, or search in another country?

Yes. In Settings you choose where you live and where you're searching: several countries or regions, and whether you only accept remote work in each. Jobs in your country show as «in your country» and salaries show in your currency (pesos, dollars, euros or pounds). The plan is charged in Chilean pesos and your bank converts it.

What languages is JobRats in?

Spanish, English and Portuguese. The site opens in your browser's language and you can change it at the top (ES · EN · PT). In the app, you choose the language in Menu ⚙ → Rat settings → Language, and that's the language of your emails and of the Support Rat's answers. Jobs show in the language the company posted them in.

Plans and payments

How much does it cost?

You start with 7 free days, no card needed: the rat brings you up to 1 job a day (5 in total) and does 1 magic application for you, with AI. After that: JobRats, CLP 14,990 a month (or CLP 34,990 for 3 months), searches every day, applies to up to 10 a day and does 1 magic application a month. JobRats Pro, CLP 24,990 a month (or CLP 59,990 for 3 months), searches every 4 hours, applies to up to 25 a day, sends on its own and every application is magic. If you subscribe during the trial, we charge you right away and add the trial days you had left. Without a plan, your board is still there. Prices are in Chilean pesos (CLP), tax included; your bank converts them.

How do I pay?

With a credit or debit card through Mercado Pago. JobRats never sees or stores your card details.

How do I change my card?

Mercado Pago keeps your card, not JobRats. Sign in to mercadopago.cl with the account you paid with, open «Subscriptions», choose JobRats and change the payment method. If a charge failed, change it within the 3 grace days and Mercado Pago tries again. The steps are also in My account.

Can I cancel whenever I want?

Yes, in one step from My account. There are no more charges and you keep access until the end of what you already paid for.

What happens if I stop paying or cancel?

We let you know 3 days before each renewal. If a charge fails, you have 3 days to update your payment method; after that the plan ends and we don't try to charge you again. Your board and your applications stay there.

How does inviting a friend work?

In the app (Menu ⚙, bottom right → «Invite a friend») or in My account you'll find your personal link. Share it on WhatsApp or anywhere you like. Your friend gets 10% off their first payment. When they pay for their plan, you get 15 free days of that same plan (JobRats or JobRats Pro). We give them to you 7 days after their payment, if it wasn't refunded. Up to 6 rewards a year. If you already pay for a plan, instead of the days your next charge is 50% off (half a month off on 3-month plans); with two rewards, the second one goes on the following charge, and if you stop paying before using it, it turns into 15 free days. And if you subscribe while using your free days, your first charge starts when they end. In My account, «Your invites» shows whether your friend has signed up or paid.

Are there discounts or coupons?

Yes: 7 free days to try it; the 3-month plan, which costs less; 5% off your first payment if you leave your email (the Support Rat offers it); 10% if a friend invited you; 10% if you left and come back to search again; and sometimes we give away coupons. Discounts don't add up: you get the best one. You use them on the plan page («Have a coupon?»). A gift coupon doesn't ask for a card and doesn't renew on its own.

Security and data

Does JobRats get into my LinkedIn or my email?

JobRats never asks for your password and never reads your email. If you install the Chrome extension, it uses the LinkedIn session you already have open in your browser, only to search for jobs and apply to the ones you picked. Our servers never get into your account.

What happens with my data?

We only use it to give you the service. You can download it or delete your account from My account. We follow Chilean data protection law (Law 19,628 and Law 21,719).
