Why LifeShack exists
LifeShack began with a problem founder Patrick Da Costa Guimarais saw among people close to him: finding a better job took time they did not have. People were staying in roles that made them unhappy because they could not give their job search the attention it needed.
The problem was personal, too. Patrick's fiancée was struggling to find work and later found a job through LifeShack. That experience helps explain why he built the product; it is one person's experience, not a promise of the same result for everyone.
Our purpose is to reduce repetitive application work so a lack of time does not stand between someone and their next opportunity.
What we focus on
Our priorities are application quality, strong resumes, and relevant job opportunities—not simply increasing the number of applications sent. We aim to help people present their experience clearly and find opportunities that fit their preferences.
Questions about LifeShack
Is LifeShack a recruiter?
LifeShack provides job application software, not a personal recruiter or a guarantee of employment. Employers decide whom to interview and hire.
Can I approve applications before they are sent?
No. Auto Apply submits supported applications automatically. You can manage preferences and company blocklists and pause Auto Apply, but there is no per-application approval step.
Does pausing Auto Apply cancel my subscription?
No. Pausing application activity does not pause or cancel subscription billing. Manage your subscription separately in billing settings.
Can I try LifeShack without a credit card?
Start with 5 free application credits. No credit card required. Review paid plans and application limits.
