They crawl 50,000 career pages. We aggregate the boards.

Where the two products look nearly identical

Profile in, matched jobs out, a tailored resume per role, one dashboard tracking every application instead of a spreadsheet. Both brand themselves as an AI agent rather than a job board. Both lean hard into the early-career and graduate segment, with name-brand employer logos as social proof. Both monetise the same way: free for jobseekers, employers pay to post or promote, a premium subscription layered on top. If you swapped the logos, a lot of the landing page copy would read the same.

The one difference that actually matters

Simplify doesn't aggregate third-party job boards. It checks the career pages of 50,000+ companies every hour, directly, plus a separate pool of roles employers submit exclusively to the platform. GetJobzi's model is board aggregation — pulling from Indeed, Reed, CV-Library, TotalJobs, LinkedIn, Adzuna and more.

That single architectural choice cascades into everything else. If you're crawling a company's own careers page, you mostly can't get an Adzuna-style syndication artifact — the same vacancy mirrored across dozens of tracking links within seconds — because there's only one source of truth per employer. Board aggregation doesn't have that luxury: it inherits every duplicate, every stale repost, every templated "trainee" role reposted from one location for months, because it's re-indexing other people's already-noisy indexes. Simplify's data-quality problem is structurally smaller by design. Ours is structurally larger by design — which is exactly why we've built the ghost-job detection, the duplicate-posting signal, and the advertiser trust scoring covered elsewhere on this blog.

Neither is simply better — they cover different parts of the market and inherit different problems. But it's a fair trade to name plainly rather than pretend our approach doesn't have a cost that theirs mostly avoids.

Autofill vs auto-apply

Simplify's Copilot extension autofills the repetitive fields on a job application and flags missing resume keywords — genuinely useful, and it's how they've gotten to 200M+ applications submitted. But the person still clicks submit, per application, on every site. GetJobzi's model applies automatically — up to 20 applications a day, submitted by the system within your criteria, each with a CV and cover letter optimised for that specific job description. That's a meaningfully deeper degree of automation, and also a bigger promise: submitting on someone's behalf carries more responsibility than helping them submit faster themselves.

What's genuinely worth taking from their approach

The honest scale check

1.5 million users, 200 million applications submitted, active communities on TikTok, Instagram and Reddit — Simplify is not a scrappy underdog in this category, it's a well-resourced incumbent. We wrote recently about what happened to Simply Hired: a pure aggregator with no differentiation lost to whoever could out-scale it on the identical model. The lesson generalises here too — a real architectural difference and a real trust-methodology advantage only stay advantages if we keep investing in them, not because we said so once.
