United Kingdom
UK applications want a CV, a notice period, and a human in the loop
UK hiring still runs on two-page CVs, right-to-work checks, and career-site forms behind Reed and Totaljobs. XApply converts your materials to UK conventions, fills Workday and Greenhouse, and waits for you to approve every send.
- Document they expect
- CV, usually two pages, A4
- Screener you will see
- Right to work + notice period
- Review
- Human approval before every send
Where UK applications actually land
Reed, Totaljobs, and LinkedIn are discovery. The form is almost always the company career site.
Workday
FTSE, banks, large corporates
Long UK enterprise flows: account, parsed CV, employment history again, then right to work. XApply fills the repeated fields and leaves the parse for you to correct.
Greenhouse
London and UK tech
Short forms with role-specific questions. Answers draft from your profile in UK English, not a US resume dump.
Reed and Totaljobs
Discovery, not the final form
Use them to find the role, then apply on the company site. Easy Apply style shortcuts drop a thinner packet into the same ATS.
ICO-aligned review
UK data protection, May 2026
The ICO warned that AI hiring tools without genuine human review may breach UK data law. Review mode is the default here, not an add-on.
Right to work and notice period, kept consistent
UK forms ask whether you have the right to work, whether you need a visa, and often for a share code. They also ask for notice period as a scheduling fact, not a nicety. Inconsistent answers across applications look like a risk flag.
Set both once. They draft the same way on every form, in front of you. Right to work answers · Notice period phrasing.
A UK CV is not a US resume
Two pages for experienced hires, A4 not Letter, British spelling, no photo. A tight one-page US resume can parse and still fail the human skim. Convert before you apply.
Nothing sends until you say go
In May 2026 the ICO warned that AI hiring tools without genuine human review may breach UK data law. XApply prepares the CV, cover letter, and screening answers, then holds the packet until you approve. Every send is logged in a receipt.
