FormSlayer

FormSlayer icon

A Chrome extension that auto-fills job application forms.

How It Works

FormSlayer uses three core mechanisms to fill forms intelligently:

Word Association

Fields are matched against lists of common labels that all map to the same value. For example, any field labelled with one of the following will be filled with your saved phone number:

phone: ["phone", "phone number", "mobile number", "cell", "telephone"],

This is done for dozens of common field types across the forms you'll encounter.

Logic Conditions

Some fields require more nuance than a simple label match. For range-based questions (e.g. willingness to travel), FormSlayer selects the next highest value within the available range:

if (str.includes("0-25"))   return "0-25%";
if (str.includes("25-50"))  return "25-50%";
if (str.includes("50-75"))  return "50-75%";
if (str.includes("75-100")) return "75-100%";

For obligatory yes/no questions, it handles inverse logic automatically:

Are you legally allowed to work in the US?         → Yes
Will you require work sponsorship in the US?       → No

Zip codes work the same way — since a postal code implies city and state, all three fields are populated from a single saved value.

Required Field Detection

Some fields can't be pre-filled — open-ended questions custom to the role, for instance. FormSlayer flags these so you know exactly what still needs your attention before submitting.

EEOC and similar optional fields can generally be skipped, but for the rare cases they're required, FormSlayer can store that information too. All such fields are entirely optional.

Install

  1. Clone or download this repo
  2. Go to chrome://extensions
  3. Enable Developer Mode (top-right toggle)
  4. Click Load Unpacked and select the repo folder

Uninstall

Go to chrome://extensions, find FormSlayer, and click Remove. This will also delete your saved settings.

Setup

Click the FormSlayer icon in your Chrome toolbar, fill in your details, and hit Save.

Usage

Navigate to a job application page, click the FormSlayer icon, then hit Fill This Form.

Adding New Field Patterns

If a field isn't being filled, find its label text and add it to the appropriate array in content.js:

phone: ["phone", "mobile", "cell", "telephone", "your new pattern here"],

File Structure

manifest.json   — Chrome extension config

popup.js        — Save/load settings
content.js      — Form detection and filling logic

Privacy

FormSlayer has no call-home functions. Your data stays local to your machine via chrome.storage.sync. The repo is fully open to inspection under the MIT license.

All settings are optional — if you'd rather not save personal details like location, gender, or ethnicity, leave them blank. FormSlayer will fill what it can with whatever you've provided.

Support

FormSlayer is provided as-is and stability cannot be guaranteed. Bugs and feature requests can be filed as issues, or submitted as a PR for inclusion in the main branch.
