For anyone still applying

Stop applying into a void.

Check a job listing here, or paste one you already found. In seconds you’ll see the pay and benefits the listing states, what it left out, whether it’s been reposted, and the rest of the checklist. We help you decide, so your time goes to the ones that matter.

Search

Streamline your search

When you’re out of work, the search alone takes about nine hours a week. We help cut that down. The card sits on every posting, so what matters to you is the first thing you see.

Resume

A resume that reads like you

We help you write it, built from your own history, in your own words, tailored to the posting in front of you. A recruiter gives a resume about seven seconds on the first pass, and hiring software has usually searched it by keyword before that. So yours leads with what this posting asks for, and it still sounds like you. One posting, one resume, no blasts.

What it checks

Everything you’d check yourself, if you had the evening.

An hour with the posting and a lot of patience would get you the same list. That’s the hour you get back.

Pay, dates, deadlines.

Is a wage actually stated? A posting date? A deadline that hasn’t already passed?

Money and personal information.

If a posting asks for fees, equipment purchases, your SIN or SSN, banking details or identity documents, it’s on the card.

The full checklist, not just a number.

Every check and what it found, in plain sentences, on one card.

What you actually get

The whole result, not a picture of one.

This is the real card for another invented posting, a home care job that wants your SIN card and a void cheque at the interview.

What this can mean General guidance

Postings vary for many ordinary reasons. A missing salary range or deadline is common and is not by itself evidence of anything. Use these observations as questions to ask, not as conclusions.
