Build a high-precision WizBot that only applies to great-fit roles

Auto-apply is powerful, but volume without precision just fills your Tracker with roles you'd never accept. This guide shows you how to build a high-precision WizBot — one tuned so that nearly every application it submits is a genuine fit. It's for anyone who would rather send twenty excellent applications than two hundred scattershot ones. The core principle is simple: start narrow, read the evidence in your log, and loosen only where the bot is filtering out roles you'd actually want.

Build it step by step

1. 1

   Use one specific role title

   Precision starts with the title. Enter the exact, specific title you'd search for — 'Senior Product Designer', not 'Designer'. If your background spans two titles, resist the urge to combine them into one vague bot; run a separate precise bot for each instead.

2. 2

   Set an honest salary floor

   Set the minimum salary to the lowest number you'd genuinely accept. This single filter removes a huge share of mismatches automatically, because the bot skips any role that publishes a lower band.

3. 3

   Narrow the job type

   Pick only the job types you actually want. If you're remote-only, select remote and nothing else. Every extra type you add widens the net — great for reach, bad for precision. For a high-precision bot, keep it tight.

4. 4

   Build a thorough exclusion list

   Add your current employer, past employers you'd never return to, and any companies you'd rather avoid. The exclusion list is absolute — an excluded company is never contacted, even for a perfect-looking role.

5. 5

   Attach a tailored resume

   Assign a resume tuned to this exact role, ideally one generated from a representative job description. A closely matched resume improves how well your applications land and reinforces that this bot is aimed at one clear target.

6. 6

   Launch and let it gather evidence

   Start the bot and leave the settings alone for a day or two. You need a body of data in the activity log before you can tell whether your targeting is right.

7. 7

   Read the skips, then adjust one thing

   Open the log and study the skips. Lots of 'below salary floor' skips on roles you'd actually take? Nudge the floor down. Missing good roles because of job type? Add one type. Change a single setting at a time so you can see its effect.

Troubleshooting

• Too few applications — your combination of a high salary floor, a single job type, and a narrow title may be over-filtering. Loosen exactly one and observe.
• Still catching off-target roles — make the title more specific and re-check that the salary floor reflects what you'd truly accept.
• A company you dislike keeps appearing — add it to the exclusion list; the match rules never override an exclusion.
• Applications feel generic despite good targeting — the attached resume may be too broad. Assign a role-specific tailored resume to this bot.

Next steps

• Configure targeting: role, salary, job type, exclusions — the full reference for every targeting control.
• Generate a resume tailored to a specific job and assign it to a WizBot — pair precision targeting with a precise resume.
• Run multiple WizBots for a multi-role search without overlap — apply this precision across several parallel searches.
• Diagnose and fix a low response rate using your analytics — measure whether your precision is paying off.
