Messages
Recruiters reach you here, and you can start a conversation from anyone's card in Recruiter Search or the Feed. Replies in this prototype are simulated — nothing sends off your device.
The engineering-specific job platform — feedback first, connections second.
Engineers submit a resume and cover letter, get a scored, research-backed critique before anyone sees it, then get discovered by recruiters and apply in one click. Every rule in the feedback engine is sourced from real hiring-manager and recruiter data — see the Research tab.
How the platform fits together
One engineering profile powers all three surfaces — build it once in Resume Review.
Get graded, not guessed at
Paste a resume or cover letter and get a category-by-category score — quantified impact, achievement language, formatting, tailoring — with the exact lines to fix.
Get found by recruiters
A graded, complete profile surfaces higher in recruiter search. Recruiters filter by discipline, experience and location and message engineers directly.
Apply in one click
Postings pull straight from your graded profile — no re-typing a resume into a portal for every job.
Resume & cover letter review
Upload your actual file and it gets graded on how it reads and how it's put together — typography, structure, length, and whether an applicant tracking system can parse it. Loaded with an example so you can see the output right away.
Line-by-line notes
Your job preferences
Set once here. This is only ever shown to recruiters searching Recruiter Search — never to other engineers, and never on anything you'd hand someone as a resume. Your location and career path live in Settings now — they drive Local rankings from there.
What the grader is checking, and why
- Bullets with a number, %, or $ read as proof of impact — hiring managers scan for magnitude, not adjectives.
- "Responsible for / duties included" reads as a job description, not a track record — swap in the verb that started the work: reduced, built, led, automated.
- Mixed bullet styles and date formats are the fastest way to look unfinished in a 30-second scan.
- Five or six tools matched to the posting beat twenty tools listed — a long list reads as keyword-stuffing, not expertise.
- One page for most engineers under ~8 years of experience; a cover letter that runs past one page won't get finished.
Search engineer profiles
Engineers on Torque, newest first. The 🔒 Recruiter-only panel on each card — relocation, pay minimum, non-compete status, top strengths — is set by the engineer. Email and phone are never shown on a card: only verified recruiters can look them up, only for engineers marked open to work, and every lookup is logged.
Job board — easy apply
Analyze a resume in Resume Review first, then applying here reuses that profile instead of re-typing anything.
My applications
Every job you've Easy Applied to — from the Job Board or from a company's page in Rankings — in one place, with where it stands. Status updates here are simulated — in the full product an employer's own action (or your Track Record) would move these automatically. Saved on this device.
Company rankings
Ranked by estimated pay for now. Employee ratings and how fast a company answers applicants get added as verified Track Record reviews come in — nothing here is invented. Pay ranges are estimates, not figures from these companies.
Track record
Only a company an engineer actually worked for, or an engineer a company actually employed, can leave a review here — no anonymous drive-by ratings on either side.
What the grading rules are based on
Condensed from hiring-manager surveys, recruiter interviews and engineering-education research — full write-up saved to the project.
My profile
This is the profile that gets attached when you Easy Apply, and what recruiters see on your card in Recruiter Search. Saved to your account, on this device.
