Many people say that searching for a job can become a full-time job in itself, but one new start-up claims to do all that work for you.
ApplyForMe.net is a new job application completion service meant to help job seekers get as many interviews as possible so they can choose the job right for them. More than 6,500 people are already having the site fill out job applications for them.
The site applies for positions on behalf of job seekers through The Execu Search Group, JobServe, LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, Hound, JobCentral, SnagAJob.com, Trovix, Yahoo! HotJobs, Simply Hired, Monster, Jobster, Indeed and TheLadders.
ApplyForMe.net employs HR professionals who are familiar with many different industries and can help provide job seekers with customized services. Anyone who uses the site is assigned their own HR professional and their own secure workspace for sharing documents and tracking job submissions.
In order to use the site’s services, job seekers must sign up for one of the available plans, which range from $39.95 per month for up to 30 applications, $59.95 per month for up to 60 applications or $89.95 per month for up to 100 applications.

Sounds a lot like JobSerf.com. I wonder if the work is outsourced to a India?

Sounds like a great idea, however i’m not sure that I’d want to pay for such a service, especially if I was out of work at the time. Filling out job applications can also be quite personal, granted there’s a professional doing it on your behalf, but sometimes its probably best to do it yourself.
Such a website would best suit a person thats currently working but wanting to change jobs and doesn’t have the time to do the rather laborious searching and applying. Alternatively, if your a little lazy and in need of a job…

HR Editor- I agree with you. I work for The Execu|Search Group, and while this is a great idea in theory, you can apply to any of the jobs on our website or submit your resume to our recruiters for free by visiting: http://www.execu-search.com
