How Hire Power works

There is one shared pool of open roles, read from real company job boards and a few job feeds. Everything you do with those roles — what you like, pass on, apply to and hear back about — is yours alone. Nobody else using the app can see your decisions, your notes, your board or your materials.

The loop, in one line each

• New roles arrive every hour and are sorted by kind of work, level, location, pay and company.
• Each morning two picks are chosen for you. Jobs shows the rest — one card at a time on top, the full list below.
• You Like, Pass or Apply. Every decision teaches your profile what you want.
• Liked and applied roles live on your Board, with to-dos and interview prep attached.
• Points, streaks and celebrations mark the good days.

• Fewer, better roles. Two strong picks a day beat a hundred links. Precision over volume.
• Learn from what you do, not only what you say. Your likes and passes steer ranking, and you can always see and correct what it learned.
• Never lose track. Once you apply, a role stays in your Applied list forever — even after a rejection — so the record of your search is complete.
• Make the next step obvious. Every application carries its own to-do list, and Today shows what needs you.
• Make it fun. Progress should feel like progress: points, levels, streaks and a weekly goal.

Promises the app keeps

• Nothing a model or a rule guessed changes your data silently. Suggestions wait for you — the one exception is a very confident email update, which tells you and offers Undo.
• It never invents experience. Tailored bullets are rewrites of bullets you wrote, and any number not in your original is flagged.
• A feature that is not ready is shown as not ready, never as a button that does nothing.

Every new posting is classified as it arrives — kind of work, level, workplace, location, audience, industry, company stage and size, pay — and duplicates across sources are merged, so the same role never shows up twice. The full list, with what is live today, is below.

• Like saves the role to your Board under Liked. Its company’s board is watched more closely from then on.
• Pass removes it — and every repost of the same role — for good. You can say why (pay, level, kind of work, location, company, industry, workplace or something else). Reasons teach faster than a bare Pass.
• Apply now marks it Applied and puts it on your Board. Applied is permanent: the role stays in your Applied list whatever happens later.
• Liked roles also appear under Profile → Liked roles, where you can rank them and set an apply-by date. Closed postings stay there, marked closed.
• Personal tags on any role in Jobs let you group things your own way. Only you see them.
• Saved views on Jobs remember a set of filters so you can come back to them in one click.

Adding a role yourself

• Add a job: paste any job link. Hire Power reads what it can — the company’s job board first, then the page itself — and asks you to fill in anything it could not read.
• Chrome button: install the extension once (Add a job → Connect Chrome), then one click saves the page you are on.
• iPhone: Settings → Add from your phone gives you a token for the iOS Shortcut, so you can share a job from Safari or LinkedIn.
• A role you add counts as a strong signal of what you like.

Stages, in order

• Liked — saved, not applied yet.
• Applied — you sent it. Stays true forever.
• Recruiter screen → Interviewing → Final round → Offer.

Outcomes

• Still live (no outcome yet), Rejected, Withdrawn, Ghosted or Accepted.
• A closed role keeps the furthest stage it reached, shown struck through with its outcome written next to it.

Two views of the same roles

• Board: columns by stage. Drag a card, or focus it and press [ or ] to move it left or right.
• Pipeline: a list per stage with how long each has been quiet and what is overdue. The switch at the top of either page flips between them.
• Every move writes a timeline entry on the application automatically.

To-dos

• When a role reaches a new stage, a short list of next steps is added to it — follow up after a week, prepare for the screen, send a thank-you note.
• They show on the application and under Next steps on Today. Finishing one earns points, and a few more if it is on time.
• When a role moves on, to-dos from the earlier stage are retired so the list stays current.

What you tell it

• Onboarding asks for your current title, target titles, kinds of work, level, locations, pay floor and workplace.
• Profile → Search settings holds all of it and more, and is the one place to edit it. It has two kinds of answer:
• Deal-breakers remove roles outright — a kind of work you avoid, a pay floor, a blocked company, a title word you never want.
• Wants move roles up or down without removing anything.
• Settings → What fits your life adds must-haves and nice-to-haves, which are matched against the words in each posting.

What it learns

• Every Like and Pass is counted by dimension — kind of work, level, workplace, location, audience, industry, company stage and size, pay and company.
• Once a dimension has a few decisions behind it, what you did starts to outweigh what you said. After about a dozen decisions on a dimension, your behaviour leads.
• Profile → Taste profile shows every dimension with where each value came from — “you told us” or “learned” — and how confident it is. If something is wrong, vote it up or down.
• Profile → Companies lets you follow or block a company. Blocking removes it everywhere. Following keeps it at the top of that list; it does not change ranking yet.

How the daily picks are chosen

• Every morning at 7am Eastern the matcher scores open roles against your profile and picks the best few (two by default — change it in Settings), at most one per company.
• Every third day one pick is deliberately different from your usual kind of work, marked “Something different”, so your profile does not get stuck in a rut.
• Each pick says why it was chosen, for example “Matches your kind of work (brand) and level (senior)”.

• Find more like this, on any job page, starts a search seeded from that role and opens it so you can watch it work.
• On the Research page, write an idea in plain words — “climate-tech brand roles”, “companies like Glossier” — and it becomes a search.
• Every run keeps a readable log: what it read, how many roles it scanned, which company boards it checked, what is new.
• Nothing a search finds reaches your Board until you like it. New finds show as a number on Research in the menu.
• Pause or delete a search at any time.

How to connect

• Settings → Email intake → Connect Gmail, or the offer on Today. You sign in with Google and grant read-only access.
• Disconnect in the same place at any time. Disconnecting deletes the connection and every message record kept from it.

What it reads — and what it never does

• It reads the sender, subject and a short preview only. Email bodies are never downloaded, never stored and never sent to an AI model.
• It cannot send, delete or change anything in your mailbox.
• It checks when you press Sync now. An automatic check every 30 minutes is built and will be switched on once Google verification allows lasting access.

What you can do with it

• From your inbox, on Today and on each application, lists the job emails it recognised.
• When it is very sure which role an email is about and what it means, it moves that role itself — marked “Moved from your inbox” with a one-tap Undo that restores exactly what was there.
• When it is less sure, it asks: confirm the change, pick the right role, or dismiss it.
• Stage changes from email add the matching to-dos and earn the same points as moving it yourself.

Four ways to add someone

• By hand: Add a person — name, title, company, LinkedIn link, how you know them. Two taps from any role you are working on, and it arrives already tied to that company.
• From your own LinkedIn connections: export your connections from LinkedIn, drop the file in, and Hire Power shows you which companies in your search you already know someone at. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded.
• From a LinkedIn profile: with the Chrome extension, press Save person while you are looking at someone’s profile. It reads only the page in front of you, only when you press the button.
• Found for you: press Find people on a role and Hire Power reads that company’s public pages — team page, blog bylines, press — and suggests two to four people worth talking to, each with the page it found them on. Save the useful ones, dismiss the rest.

Ready-made LinkedIn searches

• Every role carries search chips that open LinkedIn with the search already written: recruiters at that company, the team you would join, the likely hiring manager, people from your school, and people from companies you used to work at.
• You stay in control: Hire Power builds the link, you click it. It never logs in as you, never messages anyone and never scrapes.

Keeping track of a conversation

• Each person has a relationship (cold, met, warm, close), a role (recruiter, hiring manager, team member, leader, alum, friend) and a timeline of everything that happened.
• Log a conversation in two taps: note, message sent, reply, call, coffee, intro, referral ask or thank-you. Sending a message sets a follow-up five days out; a reply clears it.
• Follow-ups that are due show on Today under Needs you, and on the People tab under Follow-up due.
• Anything tied to a role also lands on that application’s timeline, so the Board tells the whole story.

Referrals

• The Referrals tab tracks each ask through four steps: idea → asked → agreed → submitted. A card that has been waiting five days shows a nudge.
• Ask from the person’s page or straight from the role. Hire Power can draft the message for you — short, specific, with an easy way for them to say no.
• A role someone referred you to shows a Referred pill on the Board, and once you have a few of each, you see your own numbers: how often referred applications reached an interview against cold ones.
• Declined or no reply is just closed. Nothing is taken away, and nothing turns red.

The people panel on a role

• Every role you like shows: people you already know there, people you have saved, people found on the web, the LinkedIn search chips, and where your referral stands.
• Job cards and rows show a “you know 3 people here” chip when your connections match the company.

Overview

• Waiting on you: follow-ups due, answers to practise, referrals that have gone quiet. Nothing due, nothing shown.
• Every role you are working on with a readiness ring — a score out of 100 built from real work done — and one line saying the single next thing: “Next: someone to talk to here”, “Next: tailor your résumé”.
• Before you apply, the ring counts: résumé read, tailored for this role, cover letter saved, form answers ready, someone to talk to, reached out or asked for a referral, applied.
• From a recruiter screen on, it counts: brief read, opening pitch written, five answers you feel solid on, three stories confirmed, a one-pager for the conversation, someone on the inside.
• Applying at 40% is completely fine. The ring is a map, not a gate — it never blocks you and never scolds.

Your materials

• Upload a résumé (PDF or Word) and Hire Power reads it into your roles, your bullet points and a story bank of examples for interviews.
• Correct anything it read wrong. Upload past cover letters too, so drafts sound like you.

Tailoring one application

• A fit rating (Strong fit, Solid fit or Stretch) with what the role asks for, where you are short and what to say about it, and words in the posting missing from your résumé.
• Rewritten bullets, each based on one of your own. Accept, edit or reject each one. A number that was not in your résumé is flagged and cannot be accepted in one tap.
• A cover letter in your voice, to copy or download as a Word file. Your accepted bullets download too.
• Application answers: the questions every form asks — why this company, why this role, why you, salary expectations, notice period, start date, work authorisation, relocation — written once and reused. Copy all fills in the company and role and gives you a clean block to paste.

Practice

• A deck of likely questions, each paired with one of your own stories. Start from the 32 questions everyone gets asked, or pull in the questions from a role’s interview brief.
• Practise in sessions of about ten cards: read the question, say it out loud, flip, then rate yourself — Blank, Shaky, Solid or Nailed it. Weak answers come back sooner, and nothing is scheduled after your interview date.
• Rating yourself honestly is worth exactly the same points as Nailed it, so there is no reason to fib.
• Write it instead: type an answer and get coaching back — what worked, what to fix, whether it covers situation, task, action and result, and anything to double-check. It never writes the answer for you.
• Pitch builder: a 30, 60 or 90-second version of “tell me about yourself”, drafted from your own résumé and saved once you approve it.
• A question with no story behind it is flagged, so you know where to add an example.

Conversation kits

• A printable one-pager for a specific conversation: coffee chat, referral ask, recruiter screen, hiring-manager call, panel, follow-up, thank-you or a salary negotiation.
• Each has the same shape: a few sourced lines about them, your pitch, talking points, questions to ask, the ask itself, and the message to send before or after.
• Anything said about a person traces back to a page or to something you typed. Hire Power never describes someone from thin air.

After the interview

• The debrief asks what they actually asked, how it felt, who you met and what happens next. Predicted questions are offered as tick-boxes, so it takes a minute.
• Real questions then lead your practice deck, people you met are saved as contacts, and thank-you notes can be drafted for each of them.

What it costs

• Free: people, referrals, follow-ups, flashcards, answers, readiness and the recruiter-screen kit.
• A few cents each: tailoring, cover letters, interview briefs, conversation kits, mock-answer coaching and finding people. Settings → AI usage shows the month against your cap.

Where it is used

• Reading your résumé (Profile → Your materials) into roles, bullets and stories you can confirm.
• Tailoring: from Prepare (or a job’s own Prepare page), a fit summary and rewritten bullets for that role, plus a cover letter in your own voice if you uploaded past letters.
• Interview prep: a brief for the stage you are at, with sources for anything it says about the company.
• Search ideas: turning a sentence into search criteria, and suggesting similar companies when you press Scout.
• Reading a pasted job page when the company’s board could not be found.

Where it is not

• The daily picks, Top choices ranking on Jobs and the email sorting rules are ordinary scoring — fast, free and explainable.
• Your email bodies are never sent to a model.

Guardrails

• Everything generated is a suggestion you accept, edit or discard.
• Rewritten bullets must trace back to a bullet you wrote; a number that was not in your original is flagged and cannot be accepted in one tap.
• Every generation is logged with its real cost. Settings → AI usage shows this month’s spend against your monthly cap ($5 unless you change it). At the cap, generation pauses until next month.
• Fast, inexpensive models do the reading; a stronger model writes only the things you read as prose.

• Like or Pass: 2 points either way — an honest pass teaches as much as a like. +1 for giving a reason.
• Finish today’s picks: 10. Finish a to-do: 5 (+3 on time). Apply: 25.
• Milestones: Recruiter screen 40 · Interview 60 · Final round 100 · Offer 250 · Accepted 500.
• Points add up to levels, shown as the ring around your photo. Streaks count consecutive active days; the weekly goal ring on Today counts applications against the goal you set in Settings.
• Profile → Your points lists every point with what earned it.
• Settings → Celebrations sets how loud the celebrations are, and whether they make a sound.

• Every table is locked so each person can only read and change their own rows. The shared job pool is the only thing everyone sees.
• Your résumé and documents are stored privately and never shared.
• Sign in with your password, or with a link sent to your email. Change your password in Settings.
• Appearance follows your system unless you pick light or dark.
