LazyApply Alternative for Software Engineers — HiringFunnel
LazyApply is volume software. It clicks Apply on anything that moves. As a software engineer targeting $200K+, that's the wrong shape of help — recruiters spot the spray pattern and your inbox fills with junior recruiter outreach for the wrong stack. I built HiringFunnel for engineers specifically: tight LinkedIn targeting on seniority, salary band, and tech stack, plus 1-on-1 coaching to convert the interviews you actually want. Same monthly price, completely different output.

What is LazyApply?
LazyApply is a browser extension that automates job applications across LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and ZipRecruiter. It fills in forms and clicks submit on your behalf. The focus is pure volume — apply to as many jobs as possible. However, it has no targeting intelligence, no resume optimization, and no human coaching or interview support.
