The Problem

Recruiters see clearly.
Candidates apply blind.

Applications go in blind
Candidates never see the lens a recruiter is actually using to judge their CV.
Recruiters work from a private checklist
Screening 200+ CVs a week, they silently weigh relevance, seniority, evidence, stability.
Generic AI is inconsistent
Ask a chatbot to review the same CV twice — it can hand back two different verdicts.
Passing the ATS isn't passing the recruiter
Keyword-matching tools score format. They don't score judgment.

The Solution
HireGPS shows candidates what recruiters see — before they apply.
A recruiter-trained career intelligence platform. Not a CV checker.
Built by a recruiter. Encoded as deterministic software — not a generic AI wrapper.
Evaluation
Suitability score, decision signal, prioritized risk matrix.
Explanation
Every score and risk traces to a deterministic rule, in plain language.
Rewrite Recommendation
Sharper bullets — never invented credentials or fabricated achievements.
Interview Preparation
Specific risks become structured questions and answer frameworks.
Career Guidance
Macro coaching on certifications, languages, and leadership scope.

Risk Intelligence

Forty risks. Named. Tiered by severity.

BLOCKER
Stops a shortlist outright
0
HIGH
Lands as a direct recruiter objection
0
MODERATE
Slows the read
0
LOW
Polish-grade noise
Every rule shows its receipt
HIGH
Leadership Gap
DETECTION
CV shows no direct reports, team-lead responsibility, or budget ownership — but the target seniority is Manager or above.
RELEVANCE
At Manager and above, recruiters need explicit leadership evidence. Without it, they read the candidate as an individual contributor.
ACTION
Add team size led, budget owned, and people decisions made. The rewrite engine sharpens language — never the facts.
