ATS systems sort by date applied by default. A posting that went live this morning has fewer applicants than one from last week — and a hiring manager who is actively thinking about the role. Speed and fit together beat a polished application filed three days late. Set job alerts. Check them daily. Treat fresh postings as perishable.
FlightPlan's Walkaround Inspection checks your resume against any job description before you file. It flags bare claims without evidence, surfaces missing keywords, and asks for the real work behind each skill you list. Nothing gets through that you can't defend in the room.
Read in Article 1.4 →Hiring managers can feel the difference. "Reduced onboarding time by 40%" invites the follow-up: "How did you measure that?" If you can answer precisely — because you were there — it lands. If you round up to something that sounds good, the interviewer knows. Use real numbers, even if they're smaller.
FlightPlan has paying customers across the US, UK, Singapore, Canada, and Brazil. The ten-generation pack is the most popular tier — enough to tailor your resume and cover letter for every serious application without re-entering your work history each time.
A resume can prove you were there. A cover letter explains why that matters for this role. The six-month engagement at a central bank matters more if you can describe — in one sharp paragraph — what the problem was, what you built, and why it maps to what they're trying to do. FlightPlan generates both from the same work history. Use both.
Tamper-evident, timestamped, evidence-backed. A master record of your actual career — the document that makes the resume provable and the reference check redundant. In development.
Culture briefs, founder philosophy mapping, and rating the rater. Know what you're flying into before you accept the offer. Powered by the same evidence-first approach as everything else we build.
FlightPlan generates evidence-based resumes and cover letters from your actual work history.
No fabrication. No invented metrics. Just your story — the one you can defend in the room.
