WeApply4U for SWEs sends up to 300 tailored engineering applications a month. Real engineers read every JD, write every resume from your actual shipped work, and log a proof artifact you can show your hiring manager. Backend, frontend, full-stack, distributed systems, ML infra, cloud, security.
We don't tailor for "tech roles." We tailor for the language, framework, system, and infra stack a specific JD asks for. Every chip below is a tailoring axis our engineers map your verified work against. Bold chips are the ones we're tuning for hardest in 2026 because that's where the JDs are.
If your stack is missing, ask. We've never refused a tailoring axis a real customer needed.
Each row is a real role family from the pilot cohort. The skills column is what our engineers pull from your verified experience to emphasize. The right column is the median Seattle base + sign-on we're seeing on signed offers in the cohort. Comp ranges are observed, not promised.
Two paths. Same calendar. Same skill stack. Same Seattle market. Different operator.
Eight engineer cohort, observed Q4 2025 - Q1 2026. Numbers are medians (not averages, not cherry-picked). Comp is what was signed and started, not what was offered. Cohort is small and Seattle-skewed; we publish the next cohort numbers when they sign.
Names redacted because comp is private. Companies generalized one tier (Series C → "growth-stage", FAANG → "trillion-dollar public"). Everything else is verbatim from the post-signing recap call.
"I had been at the same company for 5 years. I knew the market had moved on but I couldn't find the bandwidth to even start. Three weeks in, w4u had logged more applications on my behalf than I had submitted in my entire career. I went from zero momentum to a signed offer in ten weeks."
"What I didn't expect: w4u tailored each resume to the actual JD. Not keyword stuffing. They emphasized the right shipped projects per role. The recruiter at one of my onsites asked me about a specific PR I'd led, by name. The bots can't do that."
"I was scared to share my resume because I had a 4-month gap. They tailored around it without lying about it. I had two offers in week 8, used one to push the other up $24k. The proof ledger thing is the part nobody talks about - I genuinely could show my hiring manager what we'd been doing."
Pricing is the same as the general plan. Your search is run by an engineer who reads code, not a bot that reads keywords. Cancel or pause anytime. Your first weekly report lands inside seven days.
