Stop sending your CV into the void.
JVN Smart Apply finds the jobs that actually fit you, writes a tailored cover letter, and applies on your behalf — while you get on with your day. Here is exactly how it works, and how to get started today.
You know the routine. Refresh the job sites. Paste the same CV into another email. Rewrite the same cover letter for the hundredth time. Hit send. Hear nothing back. Wake up and do it again.
It wears you down. And the hardest part is not the rejection — it is the silence. After a while you start to wonder whether anyone on the other side is even reading what you sent.
So we built something for you. And we did not build it from the outside looking in.
For years, Job Vacancies Now has shared real, verified jobs with Kenyans every single day. We kept seeing the same thing: good people, more than qualified, missing out simply because they could not keep up with all the applying. Smart Apply is our answer to that. It is the tool we wished we could hand every member of our community.
JVN Smart Apply is currently in soft launch — we are onboarding users gradually and improving the platform based on real feedback. So you are getting in early.
What it looks like when applying stops being a full-time job
Here is a Smart Apply dashboard. Every application in one place, every interview tracked, every outcome logged. This is the view you wake up to instead of an empty inbox.
How it works, step by step
Create your free account
You register with your email. No long forms, no fee. It takes about a minute.
Add your details and drop your CV
Tell us your field, your level and where you want to work, then upload your CV as a PDF or Word file. Smart Apply reads it and learns what you are strong at. When the bar reaches 100%, you are ready to go.
See the jobs that actually fit you
No more scrolling past 200 listings that have nothing to do with you. Smart Apply scores every fresh job against your profile and shows your matches — 96%, even 100% — each with a one-line reason and a salary estimate. Filter by category, location and how recent the posting is.
Apply your way, in one click
Not every job is applied for the same way. Some employers want an email. Some jobs you stumble on yourself in a WhatsApp group. Some big companies make you fill a form on their own website. Smart Apply has one simple option for each — and the job itself tells you which button to press, so you never have to guess.
Auto Apply
You see a job you like in your matches and you press one button: Auto Apply. That is the whole thing. Behind the scenes, Smart Apply picks up your CV, writes a brand-new cover letter made for that exact role, and emails it to the employer for you. You never open your inbox. You never type a word. Use this whenever a job says “apply by email”.
Paste JD (“JD” just means job description)
Saw a job somewhere outside JVN — a WhatsApp group, a Facebook post, LinkedIn, or a friend forwarded it to you? You do not have to wait for it to show up in your matches. Just copy the advert, paste it into the box, type in the company’s email address, and press apply. Smart Apply writes the cover letter and sends it, exactly like Auto Apply does.
Portal Packs
Some big employers do not take email at all. They make you open an account on their own website and fill in long boxes like “Why do you want this job?” or “Describe your experience”. That is the part everyone dreads. Smart Apply cannot log in as you, but it does the hard part for you: it prepares a ready-made pack with a tailored cover letter and strong answers to those questions. You open the pack, copy the answers, paste them into the company’s form, and submit. No more sitting in front of an empty box wondering what to type.
Not sure which one to use? You do not have to decide. Every job in your list already shows you the right button — either Auto Apply or Prepare Portal Pack. Just follow what it says.
Watch the replies come in
This is where the silence ends. Every application sits in one tidy list with its match score, the date it went out, whether the employer opened your cover letter, and the outcome. Mark interviews and offers as they land and watch your momentum build.
What does it cost? Less than lunch.
Your first applications are free, so you can try it and see your matches before paying a shilling. After that, it is only KES 99 per month — paid with M-Pesa in seconds, straight from your phone. That is less than what you would spend printing a few CVs, or one trip across town to drop off applications by hand.
Pay with M-Pesa. No card needed. Cancel any time.
One honest thing. We are onboarding gradually during soft launch, so spots are limited while we keep everything running smoothly. The earlier you join, the sooner you stop applying the hard way — and roles in Kenya fill fast.
