Right after onboarding with Kyle, you can begin analyzing the positions you want to apply for. Simon, our job intelligence AI, analyzes the role, extracts requirements and keywords, and conducts in-depth research on the company to flag potential 'ghost job' signals. Next, navigate to 'My Resume' to edit an existing CV, create a new one from scratch, or have Kyle help you draft a perfectly tailored resume and cover letter. You can then scan your documents for AI-sounding text. To support your entire journey, our Pro tier extends this workflow with personalized job matching, an autofill vault for faster applications, pipeline tracking, and customized interview prep.

No. Properly Hired runs in your browser. The mobile app version is coming soon, along with a Chrome extension, and you can also install the mobile app from the same codebase when it is published.

Yes. Job analysis, resume optimization, cover letters, and the AI Scanner are free with weekly limits. No credit card required.

We search multiple sources including JSearch, Adzuna, and USAJobs. We do not offer direct search on Indeed or LinkedIn, but you can paste any LinkedIn or Indeed job URL and we will fetch and extract the full job description for you.

No. The AI will not replace everything and make your resume sound fake. Our world-class Humanizer engines work through your content with precision and care, polishing the tone and phrasing while keeping your voice authentic. You, the human, always make the final determination before the resume is downloaded or used for any application.

No, you do not. We recommend starting with one master CV and tailoring it to each job based on your specific skills and experiences. This approach better answers your ability and opportunity to get a job, more properly.

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System — a tool employers use to screen resumes before a human ever sees them. An ATS-friendly resume is designed to extract the deterministic keywords and signals the system is looking for. Our tools analyze the job posting and help ensure your resume covers those keywords, increasing the chances that your application gets seen by a real person.

Our Humanizer engine reviews your CV, cover letter, or job description for robotic-sounding phrases and stock AI patterns, then flags them so you can revise before submitting. It is a writing-quality check, not a forensic AI-detection tool — no scanner can reliably prove whether text was AI-written.

Yes. Pro includes an Application Tracker that saves the role, employer, source, date, status, submitted resume and cover letter versions, contacts, next action, and outcome — all in one record per application.

Yes — whenever the opportunity justifies it. Our AI tools make it easy to tailor your resume to each role, optimizing your chances. For similar roles, a light adjustment may be enough. Always review every change before submission.

All AI tools run on infrastructure that costs money — tokens are consumed based on usage. Our weekly plan keeps your application process consistent without burning through tokens quickly. Honestly, our goal is for you to land a job as fast as possible — the sooner you do, the sooner you can move on. We also offer occasional coupons and discounts. Follow us on social media to stay updated.

Yes — there is a free option, but it comes with weekly limits. If you are actively searching and applying to two or three jobs at a time, those limits can burn up fast, and that can be frustrating. Our recommendation: start with Pro at $4.99/week for 10 resumes, 40 resume optimizations, 100 job analyses, and 40 cover letters per week. The investment keeps your momentum going without running into roadblocks. You can cancel or pause anytime.

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

You can cancel at any time and keep access through the end of your current billing period. For billing issues, contact Properly Hired at [email protected]

The Free version gives you limited access to experience the platform and complete a smaller sample of tasks. The Pro version unlocks more features with much higher usage thresholds. Premium unlocks unlimited access, additional coaching support, and early access to experimental frontier features for a limited time. Paid services may include job matching, application tracking, review queue, interview prep, autofill vault, and activity insights.

No. Properly Hired is a legitimate career platform. We do not ask for payment outside of our official checkout, and we never ask for sensitive personal information like your Social Security number.

We do not host or post jobs directly on our platform. Instead, our AI agent, Simon, analyzes every job posting you submit. He conducts comprehensive searches to identify potential ghost-job signals, such as stale listings, generic language, repeatedly refreshed dates, and agency patterns. However, no tool can definitively prove an employer's intent, so you should always verify the employer through independent channels before investing significant time. Providing this level of insight is a service Properly Hired is incredibly proud to offer.

That is the million-dollar question — and it is exactly what Properly Hired is built to help with. Our AI agents research across the job market, industry trends, employer websites, company history, business activity, and publicly available signals from platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor when available. We look at variables such as posting patterns, role activity, company momentum, hiring behavior, and market context to form a more educated view of the opportunity. Properly Hired brings these signals to the surface so you can make a more informed decision before investing time in an application.

Your resume and application data are handled with security in mind. Properly Hired is built on Base44 infrastructure, which states that it is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. We use secure storage practices, access controls, and data minimization principles, and we do not share your resume or application data with third parties for marketing. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

Properly Hired is a user-first platform. We do not use your data to serve employers. Our goal is to help you present yourself clearly and help employers understand how to hire you properly. No — we do not share your materials with employers, recruiters, or third parties. You remain in control of when and where your resume is submitted.

No. AI can help organize evidence and options, but career decisions depend on your goals, constraints, values, and context. The AI is a decision-support tool, not an authority.

Use a trusted workflow like Properly Hired, minimize identifiers, understand retention, and share only what the task needs. Avoid pasting your resume into unverified third-party tools.

AI coaching provides decision-supporting guidance to help you make better-informed decisions during the application process. It should never substitute for legal, financial, medical, mental-health, or crisis professionals. If you need those types of services, please contact the appropriate licensed professionals accordingly.

No. Properly Hired operates using a proprietary knowledge database and may improve your experience based on your interaction with the system. However, it does not cross-reference your sessions with other users' information or use your application data for AI training. Your workflow remains yours and is protected under our privacy policy.
