Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ATS scoring, candidate claim verification, data privacy, and how CareerWin engineers winning applications.
How does CareerWin evaluate my resume score?
CareerWin scores your resume across 5 core hiring signals: Quantifiable Impact Density, Active Power Action Verbs, Fluff & Buzzword Elimination, Layout & Contact Hygiene, and Semantic Scope Alignment. Rather than relying on simple keyword counts, our algorithm measures vector embedding similarity against modern 2026 Applicant Tracking Systems like Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Taleo.
What is the difference between CareerWin and a standard AI resume writer?
Standard AI resume builders rely on commodity prompt templates that invent generic adjectives like 'visionary leader' or 'results-oriented team player.' Recruiters and ATS parsers immediately filter out these zero-signal buzzwords. CareerWin operates on the Master Work Record methodology: we construct a verified ledger of your authentic accomplishments and compile custom resumes without hallucinating false experience.
How much does CareerWin cost, and is there a free tier?
CareerWin offers 100% free unlimited Resume Teardowns and ATS scans. To unlock full access to our AI platform, dynamic resume compilation, and LinkedIn Scanner audits, our Founding Member plan is locked at $19.99/month forever.
What is your 14-day refund policy?
We offer a risk-free 14-day money-back guarantee on all subscriptions. If CareerWin does not noticeably improve your ATS match score and recruiter response rate within 14 days, simply contact support@careerwin.ai for a full refund—no questions asked.
Is my personal data and resume information private and secure?
Yes, 100%. We store your data using enterprise-grade AES-256 encryption. We never sell your personal information or resume contents to third-party data brokers, advertisers, or recruitment agencies. You maintain complete ownership of your Master Work Record.
What is the LinkedIn Consistency Scanner and why is it critical?
The LinkedIn Scanner checks for alignment between your resume and public LinkedIn profile. Over 80% of rejected candidates suffer from profile contradictions—mismatched employment dates, conflicting job titles, or missing skills between their resume PDF and LinkedIn URL. CareerWin catches these red flags before recruiters screen your profile.
What is the Master Work Record?
Your Master Work Record is a centralized master profile storing 100% of your career achievements—quantified metrics, project scopes, technology stacks, and leadership outcomes. Having this permanent record allows our system to dynamically generate tailored resumes and cover letters for specific job descriptions instantly.
Why do recruiters ignore subjective adjectives on resumes?
Eye-tracking studies show recruiters spend just 6 to 7 seconds scanning a resume. Because generative AI tools have flooded applications with fluff, recruiters completely discount self-congratulatory adjectives. They scan exclusively for concrete proof: dollar scale, percentage growth, team counts, and verified execution.
Does CareerWin support export to ATS-safe PDF and DOCX formats?
Yes. All compiled collateral is formatted according to clean ATS parsing standards. Downloads are rendered in clean, copy-pasteable PDF and DOCX files guaranteed to parse cleanly through Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and iCIMS.
How can I contact candidate support or request technical help?
Our candidate support team is available 24/7. You can reach out directly via our Contact page at https://careerwin.ai/contact or by emailing richardewing@careerwin.ai.
Can I manage team or enterprise subscriptions for outplacement?
Yes. We offer custom enterprise outplacement and university career center packages. Contact support@careerwin.ai to discuss volume seat licenses and custom onboarding solutions.
How often should I update my Master Work Record?
We recommend updating your Master Work Record whenever you complete a major project quarter, ship a major release, hit a revenue milestone, or receive performance reviews. Maintaining a real-time record ensures your Master Profile is always ready when new opportunities arise.
