A brain
Everything you know about every job you have had. No length limit, no structure
required. This is the raw material every resume gets built from.
A resume builder
Documents assembled from that material, in the Harvard OCS format by default.
A real PDF, or a link for the forms that want a URL.
A pipeline
Ten stages, an activity timeline, tasks, and follow-up dates that schedule
themselves. Plus the companies and people behind each one.
The part that matters
The interface is a conversation. There is a web app, it is real, and you will use it — to look at a resume, drag a card, read the board. But the product thesis is that you talk to this thing:Here’s everything I did at Vertex last quarter — file it.
Tailor my resume to this posting, and tell me what I can’t evidence.
What do I need to chase this week?Every capability in Hired is reachable that way. Your instance publishes an MCP server; you paste one URL into Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf, and your assistant gets the whole catalogue — every tool below, plus the ready-made workflows. No feature is browser-only.
Connect an assistant
One URL, one paste. This is the step that makes everything else work.
What it refuses to do
Every connected client is told, before it sees a single tool, never to invent experience, employers, dates or metrics. Everything on a resume has to trace back to something you actually wrote down. That rule exists because of a specific failure, and it is not fabrication from nothing — nobody does that. It is quiet upgrading during tailoring. A distribution credit becomes a hire. “Helped with” becomes “led”. An unsettled number becomes a cited one. Each of those maps neatly onto a requirement in the posting, so it never feels like invention to whoever is drafting. So when the evidence is not there, Hired says so and asks. A gap you name costs a rewrite. A gap you paper over costs the interview.Two ways to run it
Hosted
An instance at app.hired.tools, run for a monthly fee. Pay, get an invite, connect
your assistant. Your workspace is private — instance admins manage accounts, never
content.
Self-hosted
Free, AGPL, yours forever. One command with Docker, or five clicks on Railway if
you would rather never open a terminal.
DATABASE_URL is the only thing it asks of
its host.Where to go next
Your first ten minutes
Connect, install a skill, fill the brain, build a resume. In that order, and the
order matters.
How it all fits together
Brain to resume to application to company, and which direction the arrows point.
Every tool
Every one, by area, with its arguments and whether it overwrites.
Deploy your own
Docker, Railway, or a laptop. Migrations apply themselves on boot.
