Somebody has to be on your side of the table
Applications to a single job have gone from about 115 to roughly 250 in four years. The first read is done by software, the rejection arrives in minutes, and nobody explains it. Meanwhile the sites that tell you what a job pays are largely funded by the people doing the hiring.
This one is not. It takes government statistics that are free but nearly unreadable, joins them into answers, and shows you what a screening machine makes of your résumé — without ever receiving it.
Three things we will not do
We will not take your file
Your résumé is read by code running in your own browser. There is no upload, no account required, and no copy anywhere. Open your network tab and drop a file: you will see nothing leave. That is the whole design, and everything else was built around keeping it true.
We will not invent a number
The Bureau of Labor Statistics suppresses figures that would identify an employer. Where that happens the site says “not published” rather than showing a zero or a dash. Where we calculate something ourselves — pay adjusted for local prices, pay after state tax — the method is written out in full and the inputs are named.
We will not write your résumé for you
Generating text is free everywhere now, and hiring teams have learned to spot it. What is actually scarce is knowing what the system on the other side read. So we show you that, and leave the writing to you.
Where the figures come from
Pay from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Local price levels from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. What a job actually consists of from O*NET. What named companies said they would pay, from certified Department of Labor filings. All public, all free, all cited on the page that uses them — currently 812 occupations across 585 places.
