Build Resumes, Get Verified, Get Hired

ClearHire is a free resume builder, job search platform, and verified employment record system. It helps job seekers create professional resumes, search and apply to jobs, get past employment confirmed by former employers, and access more than 90 free career tools — all without paywalls, premium tiers, or third-party ads. ClearHire is available on the web and Android today, with an iOS app and a Chrome / Firefox / Edge browser extension in development. The same account works across every surface you sign in on.

Use cases

• Active job seekers building a polished resume. Use the resume builder, ATS checker, keyword optimizer, and action-verb suggester to produce a recruiter-ready resume in 60–90 minutes. Save multiple variants tuned to different role types and reuse them across applications without re-typing the same content.
• Career changers researching a new path. Run the career quiz, read /insights articles on benefits, culture, growth, and interviews, then build a 90-day learning roadmap with the skills-gap analyzer. ClearHire is designed to support exploration, not just immediate applications.
• Mid-career professionals negotiating offers. Compare two offers side by side, model cost-of-living for relocations, and rehearse counter-offers with the negotiation script tool. Each tool runs in your browser; pasted offer details are never uploaded.
• Workers building a verified employment record. Request one-time confirmations from past employers and accumulate a public verified-history badge that future recruiters can trust. Verification is optional — unverified history still appears on your profile, just without the badge.
• Anyone who wants free career tools without an account. Most browser-based tools (ATS check, action verbs, cold outreach drafting, JD analyzer) work signed-out. An account unlocks saving, syncing across devices, and the verified-employment system.

How it works

1. Create a free account or use the tools signed-out. Sign up with Google, Apple, or email in under 30 seconds. An account is required only for saving, applying, public profiles, and verified employment.
2. Build or import your resume. Start from a template, paste from a Word file, or import from LinkedIn. The builder validates ATS compatibility as you type and flags structure issues before you save.
3. Run the keyword + ATS check against a target role. Paste a job description; the optimizer ranks missing keywords by importance and suggests bullet rewrites. Aim for 80% must-have coverage before applying.
4. Apply to jobs and request employment verification. Apply to listings inside ClearHire or follow links to external sites. Send one-time verification requests to past employers — they confirm with a click; nothing gets installed on their side.
5. Track applications and follow-ups. The application tracker keeps every applied role, contact, status, and next-step deadline in one place. Set follow-up reminders so no thread goes cold.

Examples

• A junior engineer with two years of experience targeting senior backend roles. Builds two resume variants (generalist + payments-focused), runs each through the ATS checker, applies to 25 roles via the tracker, and lands 4 phone screens in the first three weeks.
• A career changer moving from teaching to product management. Runs the career quiz, reads three /insights articles, builds a 90-day learning roadmap covering SQL, analytics, and product writing, and ships a portfolio piece before applying.

Frequently asked questions

Tips

• Sign in once on each device so your resumes and tracker sync everywhere.

• Request employment verification early — past employers are slowest in the first week of every quarter.
• A browser extension for one-click application logging on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Wellfound is in development.
• Honest framing beats keyword stuffing — Princeton GEO research found stuffing reduces AI visibility 10%.
