Feature by feature
A row that reads “not stated” means the pages we read did not say. It does not mean no, and we did not guess.

What ClearHire does not do
This list is the same on every page here, and it is true today.
Only resumes leave in six formats
Cover letters copy out as plain text, and a portfolio has no export.
Free exports name us
A resume exported on Free carries one “built with” line. A paid plan removes it.
No career path on your record
The roadmap and skills-gap pages are reading, not a plan we keep for you.
A company’s answer stays private
What a company writes about a person is read by that person and the company’s admins. Nobody else sees it.
