Frequently asked questions

Quick answer: 1 credit = 1 tailored resume + cover letter pair. Credits never expire. Your first 3 are free — no credit card required.
Do I need to install a browser extension?
No — the extension is the fastest way to use FitForHire (one click on any job page), but you can also use it entirely in the browser at fitforhire.app/documents. The web app lets you paste a job description and upload your resume without installing anything.
The extension supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
What do I need to get started?
Just a Google account to sign in and a copy of your resume. Supported formats are PDF, DOCX, plain text, and Markdown — we convert whichever you upload. You upload your resume once and it's saved to your account; you never need to re-upload it for future jobs.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account starts with 3 free credits — enough for 3 complete job applications. No credit card required to sign up or use them.
Which job boards does it work on?
The extension works on LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and most company career pages. If you hit a site that blocks the extension from reading the page, you can paste the job description text directly in the extension popup — it works the same way.
What exactly does 1 credit get me?
One credit produces one tailored resume and one matching cover letter — both written for the specific job you're applying to. You download whichever formats you need (PDF, Word, HTML, or Markdown) and that's it. No hidden per-download charges.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits are yours until you use them — no monthly reset, no expiry date, no subscription to cancel.
Can I buy more credits later?
Yes, any time from your account page. Packs are the same one-time purchases as when you signed up — there's no penalty for topping up later.
What's the difference between the plans?
All plans include the same full AI tailoring, all download formats, and support for every job board. The differences are:
- Free Trial — 3 credits, no credit card needed
- Starter ($5.99) — 10 credits + keyword include/exclude control
- Pro ($12.99) — 25 credits + keyword control + one AI edit pass per document
- Power ($19.99) — 50 credits + keyword control + one AI edit pass per document
The AI edit pass (Pro and Power) lets you ask the AI to refine a specific bullet point, adjust the tone, or add detail before you download — without spending another credit.
Will it add skills or experience I don't actually have?
FitForHire is designed to reframe and reword the experience already on your resume — not to invent qualifications. That said, like all AI systems, it can occasionally hallucinate: adding a detail, phrasing a claim too strongly, or surfacing a skill that wasn't clearly on your original resume. This is rare, but it happens.
Always review the output before you apply. You're accountable for what you submit, so treat the generated documents the same way you would a first draft from a colleague — read them, correct anything that isn't accurate, and download only what you're confident stands behind.
To reduce the risk, use keyword control (Starter, Pro, and Power plans) to explicitly list skills that should never be added to your documents, regardless of what a job posting asks for.
Can I edit the documents before downloading?
Pro and Power plans include one AI edit pass per document. You can describe what you want changed — "make the second bullet more concise," "adjust the opening paragraph to sound less formal," "add my promotion date to the first role" — and the AI will apply the change without you needing to spend another credit.
On all plans you can also download the document and edit it yourself in Word, Google Docs, or any text editor.
What download formats are available?
PDF, Word (DOCX), HTML, and Markdown. You can change your preferred format any time in account settings — the same credit covers all formats for that document.
How long does it take?
Typically under 60 seconds from clicking "Tailor Documents" to having both files ready to download.
What if the result isn't what I expected?
On Pro and Power plans, use your AI edit pass to course-correct without spending another credit. On any plan you can download and edit the document manually — the output is a standard file, not locked in any way.
If you believe there was a technical error (the document looks broken, a section is missing, etc.), contact us at support@fitforhire.app and we'll look into it.
Is my resume stored on your servers?
Yes — your resume template is stored securely under your account so you don't have to re-upload it every time. It's used exclusively to generate your tailored documents and is never shared or sold. You can delete it (and your entire account) at any time from your account page.
Does the extension read every page I visit?
No. The extension only reads a page's text when you explicitly click "Tailor Documents." It does not monitor your browsing, track which sites you visit, or send any data in the background.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your resume and the job descriptions you process are never used to train any AI model — ours or a third party's. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How do I delete my account and data?
From your account page, scroll to the bottom and use the "Delete account" option. This permanently removes your profile, resume template, and all generated documents. The action cannot be undone.
