The Direct adapter reached 98% submission success rate after implementing Fortune 500 seed list, ATS domain blocking, non-job URL filtering, and form fill improvements. Greenhouse hit 100% (10/10).
Why It Matters
First quantified measurement of submission success. The 98% Direct rate proved the core engine worked. LinkedIn’s 0% (25 attempts, all stale jobs) identified that the remaining challenge was platform-specific, not architectural. This distinction : “the engine works, LinkedIn is the problem” : focused the next 3 weeks of iteration exclusively on LinkedIn.
