FAQ
Straight answers
No hype. Here's what ForgedStep does — and honestly, what it doesn't.
Is the resume score really free?+
Yes. You can paste your resume and get a score plus a preview of your strengths, weaknesses, and missing keywords without paying. The full review and AI-assisted rewrite guidance are paid, with more toolkit features on the way.
Do you guarantee I'll get a job?+
No — and you should be skeptical of any tool that does. ForgedStep helps you build a sharper, more relevant application. Hiring outcomes depend on many factors we can't control.
Will this beat every applicant tracking system (ATS)?+
No tool can promise that. We show how an ATS is likely to read your resume and flag formatting and keyword issues so it's more likely to be parsed correctly.
Is my resume kept private?+
Your resume is used to generate your feedback. We don't sell your data or publish your content. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What do I need to get started?+
Just your resume text and the job title you're targeting. A job description is optional but makes the feedback more specific.
