applier

One who applies

An applier is someone or something that applies.

The word appears most often in compound forms describing tools or devices: lip gloss applier, fertilizer applier, decal applier.

For people who apply—whether applying rules, paint, or for jobs—the word works but sounds slightly awkward; applicant or simply "someone who applies" is more natural.
