Semi Automatic Agent Job Application Pipeline using Hermes
by Marc Gloor

Produce 300 or more job applications in a month with just an hour daily work

My newly developed semi-automated pipeline leverages a single Hermes AI agent to fundamentally shift the job application workflow. Feeding a job URL into the system prompts the agent to extract the necessary requirements, compile a custom LaTeX resume plus a signed cover letter, and handle the tedious task of filling out ATS HR forms over and over again with the same crap.

This approach completely bypasses the traditional bottleneck of a few high-quality manual applications per month. By automating the heavy lifting and relying on a human-in-the-loop solely for CAPTCHA verification to overcome bot walls.

The resulting efficiency yields a substantially higher rate of interview invitations and resulting number of interviews higher than your competing non-agentic peer group.

Organization is built-in: every application is neatly filed into a timestamped directory containing the URL, CV, and cover letter. With a processing time of ~6 minutes per application, the system operates completely asynchronously alongside other tasks. A polished version of the project is slated for future publication on GitLab.

I can assist you to build your very own tailored hermes application engine, just get in touch with me.

Tech Stack / Requirements:
Linux Desktop or Windows
Hermes Agent v0.16.0 (2026.6.5) or higher
Model: gpt-5.4 or equivalent agentic tool capacity
