Hiring Buddy

Calm application work

Hiring Buddy

A practical workspace for understanding a job, choosing your angle, and keeping the final application in your hands.

Before you start

What to bring to onboarding

Onboarding works best when the app has a few examples of who you are on paper and how you like to explain your work.

Required

Your current resume

Bring a PDF resume that is close enough to use as the baseline. Hiring Buddy reads it into structured context for later job-specific suggestions.

Helpful

Cover letters you like

If you have one or two past cover letters that feel like your voice, paste them in. They help future drafts keep your tone and structure instead of sounding generic.

Helpful

A sense of what you want next

The mirror chat will ask about target roles, strengths, constraints, and preferences. You do not need perfect answers, but a rough direction helps.

For later

Jobs you are considering

After onboarding, paste job descriptions into the jobs workspace. Each job gets its own fit analysis, notes, cover letter draft, and resume suggestions.

How the app helps

A slower, clearer application process

The goal is to help you understand why a role might fit, what story you should lead with, and which parts of your background deserve more attention for that specific application.

  1. Set the baseline. Upload your resume, add writing samples if you have them, and talk through what you are looking for.
  2. Add real job descriptions. Save the roles you are considering so each one has its own workspace.
  3. Find the angle. Hiring Buddy compares the job against your resume, preferences, and projects, then explains strengths, gaps, risks, and the best application angle.
  4. Draft and tailor. Generate a cover letter, review resume suggestions, and keep the final call in your hands.
