The Algnetic dedicated worker
Every Algnetic account is served by its own apply worker: a dedicated container with its own task queue and its own portal session. Applications from one account never wait behind another account's work, and portal sessions are never shared between accounts.
Because the worker runs as a managed service rather than inside a personal browser, it continues on the schedule the candidate sets whether the laptop is open, closed or switched off. Sleep mode, a closed tab, a dropped Wi-Fi connection or a browser update on the candidate's machine do not interrupt it.
Reliability and uptime
- Durable queues: every application task is written to a durable queue with persistent delivery, so a restart does not lose work.
- Automatic recovery: workers restart automatically, and queued applications are re-dispatched as soon as a worker is available again.
- Two apply paths on Naukri and Instahyre: Algnetic applies through each platform's apply API first and falls back to a full browser session when the API result is inconclusive.
- Production record as of 27 October 2026: the production host has been running for 96 days, the message broker for 97 days without a restart, and every dedicated worker shows zero crash restarts.
- Full audit trail: each application is recorded with its status and timestamps, and any application that needs attention carries the reason.
Limitations of LoopCV for candidates in India
- Naukri and Instahyre are not supported.
- Mixed delivery: some applications go out as automated recruiter emails rather than as portal applications.
- Boards that require a login depend on a browser extension, so those applications stop when the candidate's browser is closed.
- No dedicated execution environment or recovery model is described.
Recommendation
Candidates focused on Naukri and Instahyre are better served by Algnetic's native integrations and dedicated worker. LoopCV suits candidates who want broad coverage of international job boards and recruiter outreach by email.
