Who can apply to jobs on your behalf in India
Services that apply for you in India, from AI agents to assistants: how each kind works, what it needs from you, what it costs and what to check before you hand over your job search. 24 October 2026.
The short answer. Yes. Three kinds of service apply to jobs for you in India:
- Careers-page services such as JobsEye, which fill each employer's own form for the roles you pick.
- Portal agents such as myjobb, FastApply and ApplyCove, which apply through your own Naukri or LinkedIn login.
- Naukri's own NEO, inside Naukri.
All of them need the same things from you: a resume, your answers to the common form questions, and the roles or filters you want.

Five things to check before anyone applies for you
- Do you pick the roles, or does the service apply to anything that matches a filter?
- Where do the answers come from? Notice period, CTC and screening answers should come from you, not be guessed.
- What happens with a question it can't answer? JobsEye asks you instead of guessing.
- What proof do you get? The company's own confirmation email is the strongest. 88% of JobsEye's applications got one, a median of 5 seconds after sending.
- What does it need access to? A portal password, your email, or neither.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal for someone to apply to jobs on my behalf?
You're the candidate, with your own resume and answers, and you choose the roles. Read each employer's form: some ask you to confirm the information is yours and accurate, which it should be.
Is there a job application outsourcing service in India?
Yes: careers-page services such as JobsEye, and portal agents such as myjobb, FastApply and ApplyCove.
Can a virtual assistant apply for me instead?
Yes, but an assistant needs your accounts and answers, and works at a person's pace. A careers-page service applies with your answers, on each employer's own form, and shows you each company's confirmation. --- JobsEye's figures are from its own applications, 29 August to 20 October 2026, our team's accounts left out.
