For the candidate, not the company

A recruiter's judgment. On your side of the search.

Built by a recruiter. Powered by AI.

Recruiters decide how a company reads you. Most candidates never get one working for them. Got Your Back is software that does that work for you: it reads each job like the hiring team will, asks what your résumé is missing, tells you straight whether to apply, and remembers what you sent.

What it is: Software that applies a recruiter's judgment to your search, built from nearly a decade on the hiring side and run by AI.
What it isn't: A human recruiter assigned to you, a staffing agency, or a bot that mass-applies. It never sends anything without you, and never claims what you can't back up.

See the judgment

Watch it read a job, ask the one question that matters, and make the call.

The same three moves a good recruiter makes before they'd submit anyone. Pick a candidate, choose how they answer, and see how the answer changes the call.

Sample only. These candidates and companies are fictional and the responses are scripted. Nothing you click here is sent or saved.

What they're really screening for

The posting lists requirements. A recruiter reads which ones decide the screen,where Dana already clears them, and where the case is thin.

5+ years managing B2B client accountsMust-haveHave it — wrong word
Your title says customer success; the posting says account manager. Same work: 38 accounts, quarterly reviews, renewals. The résumé uses their word.
Owns renewal and expansion revenueMust-haveAdjacent — claimable
You ran renewal conversations, but nothing on the page says the number was yours. This is the line the hiring manager will press on.
Salesforce reportingNice-to-haveCloseable fast
You've used Salesforce, not built in it. One short reporting module makes "built pipeline reports" true before you apply.
Background in analytics or data toolsNice-to-haveHard gap — you can't claim this
Not there, so it stays off the résumé. It's a nice-to-have; on its own it doesn't sink you.

One must-have is unproven. That's where the next question goes.

Lead teams of 20+ hourly staffMust-haveHave it — wrong word
You ran 45 people across two shifts. Different industry, identical muscle. The résumé names it the way logistics does.
Own a site P&L or operating budgetMust-haveAdjacent — claimable
Restaurants live on labor and food cost. If you set those targets, that is budget ownership. We need to hear it before it goes on the page.
Safety and compliance programsMust-haveHave it — wrong word
Health inspections, safety logs, incident reports: the same discipline in a different binder.
Warehouse management system (WMS)Nice-to-haveCloseable fast
You haven't used one. Your inventory system is close, and a vendor's free intro course gets you to an honest "familiar with."

One must-have is unproven. That's where the next question goes.

8+ years in growth or performance marketingMust-haveHard gap — you can't claim this
You have three. A screener counts years on this one before reading anything else.
Hired and led a team of 5+Must-haveHard gap — you can't claim this
You've coordinated freelancers, but haven't hired or managed. For a director role, that's the job itself.
Owned $500K+ in annual paid spendMust-haveAdjacent — claimable
You executed paid campaigns. The question is whether any of that budget was yours to call.
Healthcare marketing complianceNice-to-haveCloseable fast
A short HIPAA-for-marketers course closes this honestly.

How it works your search

One relationship, from first read to after you hit send.

AI is how this runs on every job you take seriously. Recruiter judgment is what it's for. Each step feeds the next, so the search gets sharper the longer you use it.

Step 1
It sits with your whole career first.
Guided conversation or old résumés. Narrow path or wide, the profile holds it, including the context a one-page résumé leaves out.
Step 2
It reads each job the way the hiring team will.
What they're screening for, where you already clear it, where you're thin, and whether it's worth your time.
Step 3
It works the story with you.
When the evidence isn't on the page yet, you get the question a recruiter would ask in a prep call. What you can't back up stays off.
Step 4
It puts you in the conversation, briefed.
A résumé aimed at this job, in the posting's language where your evidence supports it. Nothing you couldn't say in the room.
Step 5
It keeps track after you hit send.
Which company, which role, which version of you they have. What's open, stale, or already submitted.

What you tell it stays. New evidence goes back into your profile, so the next job starts from a stronger brief.

Nearly a decade hiringOn the recruiter's side of the table

Stunts, circus, the stageA second career that didn't fit one line

Got Your BackThe recruiter I needed, built for anyone searching

Why this exists

I built the recruiter I wanted when I was the one searching.

I spent nearly ten years on the hiring side, then years as a stuntman, circus strongman and performer. When I came back to a search, I had two real careers that didn't fit one clean line, and nobody on my side of the table.

So I put what I know about how candidates get read into software. It won't invent a career. It won't tell you every job is a fit. It will do the work a good recruiter does when they're actually in your corner.
