Case Studies

Three problems. One compiler.

Hired handles the full spectrum — from "I have too much to say" to "I don't know where to start."

Mid-career Engineer

Same wins, six different ways. Never again.

JC
Jordan Chen, 8 yrs exp
Ex-Shopify → targeting Stripe

Rewrites the same AWS bullet for every JD. Loses 4 hours per job search cycle.

▸Automated keyword extraction from JD
▸Quantifies impact from raw notes
▸Formats for ATS + human readers
"Hired auto-matched my infra experience to Stripe's exact stack language. First-round in 48 hours."

Recent Grad

Blank page syndrome, cured.

PM
Priya Mehta, 0 yrs exp
CS grad → targeting Google APM

Stares at a blank template. Imposter syndrome kicks in. Undersells a 3.9 GPA and two internships.

▸Elevates internship + project work
▸Frames academics as deliverables
▸Matches entry-level JD language exactly
"It pulled language from my internship descriptions I didn't know how to frame. Sounds like I've been doing this for years."

Your bartending years read like project management.

MR
Marcus Rivera, pivot from ops
Restaurant GM → targeting PM roles

Managed $4M P&L and 40 staff. Doesn't know how to say that without sounding like a food service résumé.

▸Transfers non-tech skills to tech language
▸Identifies transferable competencies
▸Bridges domain vocabulary gaps
"Hired translated 'coordinated kitchen staff during 200-cover service' into 'orchestrated 40-person operations team under time-critical SLAs.' Hired in 6 weeks."
