Connecting your mailbox

Why connect my mailbox?

Farouk sends your applications from your own Gmail or Outlook address: recruiters receive an email from you, and their replies come to you. The access is used to send your applications and to spot recruiters' replies. Details are in the privacy policy.

How do I connect Gmail or Outlook?

During the first setup, or later in Settings, Connections tab: click "Connect Gmail" or "Connect Outlook", then accept the access requested by Google or Microsoft.

My mailbox is disconnected. What should I do?

A changed password or access removed at Google or Microsoft cuts the connection. Reconnect it in Settings, Connections tab. While it is disconnected, no application can be sent.

How do I remove Farouk's access to my mailbox?

Settings, Connections tab, "Disconnect" button. Farouk asks Google or Microsoft to remove the access and deletes the analysed messages.

Launching a campaign

How do I launch a campaign?

In Farouk Job, Campaign tab: enter the job you are looking for, the location and the number of applications, then launch. Farouk finds offers that match your field and your CV, writes a letter for each one and sends it from your mailbox.

Why are the sends spread out?

To protect your mailbox: sends that are too close together can be blocked by Gmail or Outlook. A large campaign is therefore spread over one or more days. You have nothing to do.

"Your campaign starts in about X minutes": is that normal?

Yes. Many candidates launch their campaign at the same time: yours is waiting its turn and will start on its own. You can close the page.

What does the free plan include?

The free plan gives you a first campaign to try Farouk. The exact limits and the Pro plan are described on the Pricing page.

Tracking your applications

Where can I see my applications?

In the "Application details" tab: every application sent, the company, the date and its status. The Dashboard shows the total.

How are replies tracked?

Farouk spots recruiters' replies in your mailbox and updates the application's status. Without a reply, a polite follow-up may be sent after about a week.

What are "offers to finalise"?

A few offers need an action from you, for example a captcha or an account to create on the company's site. They are listed in this tab with the link and the steps to follow.

An offer does not suit me. What can I do?

Open the application and click "This offer doesn't suit me". Farouk then filters out this kind of offer for you.

Subscription and cancellation

How do I upgrade to Pro?

From the Pricing page or the "Upgrade to Pro" button in the app. Payment goes through Stripe and the upgrade is immediate.

How do I change my card or download my invoices?

Settings, Subscription tab, "Manage subscription" button: you land on Stripe's secure page.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Settings, Subscription tab, "Manage subscription", then cancel the subscription. No notice and no penalty: no further payment is taken afterwards.

Refunds

Can I get a refund?

Write to contact@farouk.app from your account's address and explain the situation. Every request is reviewed and you receive an answer by email.

I was charged twice, or after cancelling.

Write to contact@farouk.app with the date of the charge. We check with Stripe and fix it.

Personal data

What data do you keep?

Your CV, your profile, your campaigns and your applications. Content taken from your mailbox is deleted after 30 days. Details are in the privacy policy.

How do I delete my account?

Settings, "Delete my account" button. Everything is erased: account, CV, applications and files. An active subscription is cancelled at the same time.

How do I exercise my rights (access, correction, deletion)?

Write to contact@farouk.app from your account's address.
