Human-led · Cleared + federal · Honest work

Get seen. Get interviews.
Get offers worth choosing between.

Human-led resume engineering for cleared, federal, and skilled professionals — built to get you past the screen and in front of the people who hire.

It's not you — it's your data. You're qualified; the machine just can't read it yet.

No obligation. Your current resume, read the way the machines read it.
Is this you?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

—Applying constantly, hearing nothing back — silence, or instant rejections.
—Out of work longer than you ever expected, and not sure why.
—A cleared veteran translating military experience into a civilian or federal role.
—Skilled and accomplished, but unsure where you fit in today's market.
—Qualified and overlooked — ready for a bigger role, if the right people could see you.
—Comfortable where you are, but you want options, leverage, and a better offer.

Whichever one you are, the free baseline report is where you begin.

What changes

From invisible to in demand.

The point was never a prettier document. It's what the document gets you: seen by a person, called for interviews, and holding real offers.

First

Seen

Your resume clears the automated screen and actually reaches a human reviewer.

Then

Called

Interviews and recruiter calls, instead of silence and instant rejections.

Finally

Chosen

Offers — sometimes more than one — so you negotiate from a position of strength.

How it works

Three steps. Starts free.

01

Send your resume

Free baseline report. We read it the way the screening software does and show you where you're likely losing points before a human looks.

02

We re-engineer the data

Your real experience, translated into what the systems and recruiters actually search for. Commercial and federal. Nothing padded, nothing invented.

03

You get seen

A resume built to clear the screen and land in front of a decision-maker — plus a map of the roles you actually qualify for.

The story behind what you're paying for

You're not paying for a document. You're paying for the work that makes you legible.

Many employers use software to parse, match, score, rank, or summarize applications before — or alongside — human review. We call that whole layer Data/ATS/AI: the ATS (automated candidate scoring) is only the part you can see; the data behind it, AI-written resumes, recruiter search filters, and skills-based matching stack on top. It's not that you're unqualified. It's how your experience reads to those systems.

That's a data problem, and we treat it like one — human-led, built over seven years in some of the hardest hiring markets in the country, including federal, where formatting and keyword choices can decide whether your application is seen at all.

  • A human reads you, not a template. Seven years, by hand, cleared and federal.
  • We find where you're filtered. Exactly where you drop below the line, and why.
  • We translate — we don't inflate. Your real experience, in the language the systems search for. Nothing invented.
  • Two markets, two disciplines. Commercial and federal — USAJOBS, clearance, series codes. Most services do one.
  • We show you where to aim. The roles you're a fit for that you didn't know existed.
Where to start

Start free. Pay only when the result is worth it.

Every engagement starts with a free baseline report on your current resume. If it explains the silence, the fix is a clear next step — not a mystery.

Two engagements, both built around getting hired — not a better-looking document. Core rebuilds how you're read by the systems and the people behind them. Flagship adds your target market and a concrete plan to land the role.

★ For those who served

Veterans are always free — and we stay with you.

The baseline report is free for everyone, but if you served it comes with more than a score: a real read on your USAJOBS standing and where the transition process is quietly working against you. Founding-client rates are held open for veterans, and the hardship option exists first and foremost for people leaving service without a landing spot lined up.

Financial hardship: a limited number of pay-when-you-land slots open each month — get the full engagement now, pay when you accept an offer. Mention it when you request your baseline report.

Public evidence

Don't take our word for it.

Automated hiring tools increasingly screen, rank, and prioritize applicants — often before, or alongside, human review. Courts and regulators are catching up to it. The record is public. We link the sources so you can review the evidence yourself.

DISCLAIMER: Sources are provided for awareness and education. resume:decoded does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee hiring outcomes. The goal is to help candidates present accurate career evidence in a format that modern hiring systems and human reviewers can more clearly understand.

Stop guessing why the phone is silent.
