How Employment Hero helped this uni student land two job interviews in two days

A hidden gem in between Lo-Fi beats

Kaitlyn had done the whole job hunt thing before, but it just hadn’t worked out, thanks to the tough job market. A first-year uni student juggling lectures and the ever-growing cost of living, she’d been on the hunt for a casual hospitality or retail job since last November. But after months of ghosted applications and generic rejection emails, her motivation was on thin ice.

Then, like a scene out of a modern job-hunting fairytale, something unexpected happened:
“I was listening to Spotify and this ad for Employment Hero Jobs came on,” Kaitlyn recalled. “I hadn’t heard of it before, but I figured, what do I have to lose?”

That single scroll-stop moment changed everything. Within two days of downloading the Employment Hero Jobs app and setting up her profile, Kaitlyn had not one but two interviews lined up. And soon after, a job offer at an award-winning cafe.

Kaitlyn had tried all the usual tricks – tweaking her CV, writing custom cover letters, sending application after application into the void. But nothing stuck. Employment Hero Jobs flipped the script. 

“The app helped me beyond measure,” she said. “My employer actually had a printed sheet from the app at the interview. It had everything – my experience, my skills, how I was a good fit – and I didn’t even write it. The app did that for me. It was kind of magical.”

30 job applications in 15 minutes

Kaitlyn’s first impression of the app? “It was so well-designed. Super clean. Easy to use.”

The job search wasn’t just simple; it was strangely fun. 

“There’s a map showing businesses near you. You tick the ones you like and send your profile to them in bulk. Even if they’re not officially hiring, they’ll still get your profile. That’s how I got this job, they weren’t even advertising!”

Adding a photo, past experiences, and a short personal blurb, it took all of 10 minutes to set up her profile.

The actual application process? Just as easy, with the app’s bulk apply feature.

“I went through about 30 listings in 15 minutes. It shows you reviews of each business and a short summary, which really helped. I wasn’t just throwing my profile into the void – I could make smart choices.”

“I wish I’d heard about it sooner.”

Kaitlyn’s become a bit of an unofficial ambassador for the app. 

“I’ve already recommended it to a bunch of friends,” she said. “It’s hands-down the easiest app I’ve used for job hunting. It actually connects you to employers in a meaningful way.”

As a newer app, she was surprisingly cautious at first. “I’m glad I took the chance. I just wish I’d heard about it sooner.”

Your dream job might be just a tap away

Kaitlyn’s story is just one of many. Employment Hero Jobs is changing the way people find work – no more spending hours on an application just to wonder if your profile even got seen.
