How TraceScout works

Find the role, prove the resume, rehearse the answers. Nothing invented at any step.

Also worth knowing

  • Free to start. Your account, matches and the free resume check cost nothing. Tailored resumes, export and verification links need a plan.

A real walkthrough of the live product, from an honest resume check through matched roles, tailoring, and interview preparation, about four minutes.

Why job seekers use TraceScout

Finding a job is only the beginning.

Most job seekers do not lack roles to look at. They lack a clear answer on whether a role is worth their time, and a resume they can stand behind in the interview.

TraceScout compares job requirements with your candidate-attested resume and presents strengths and gaps. Tailored document wording is separately checked against that source.

Know why you match

Review your match score alongside the strengths, gaps and candidate-attested evidence behind the result.

Tailor without inventing experience

Keep job-specific wording grounded in candidate-attested evidence while unsupported qualifications remain visible as gaps.

See what is missing before you apply

Surface missing information, unclear evidence and application weaknesses before you submit.

Turn one career profile into a stronger application

Prepare a role-specific resume, cover letter and application materials from the same evidence base, including company and role context where supported.

Prepare for the interview from the same evidence

Use the role, your experience, strengths and gaps to prepare for likely interview conversations without inventing claims.

Understand your fit — not just discover another vacancy

Decide whether a role deserves your time and see how to position your real experience truthfully for it.

You don’t have to choose between TraceScout and Indeed, LinkedIn or Glassdoor. Use those platforms to discover opportunities. Use TraceScout to determine which ones deserve your attention — and to prepare a stronger, evidence-backed application.

Browsing opportunities and TraceScout's free tools remain free. Paid services are optional and produce the specific deliverables shown on the Pricing page.

Fictional illustrative example

See how source facts become truthful job-specific wording

This teaching example is not customer output and does not represent a real person, application or hiring result.

Candidate-attested source line

“Provided daily support to residents, documented progress notes, and followed individual support plans.”

Job requirement

“Document care and deliver person-centred support.”

Improved truthful line

Delivered daily resident support guided by individual support plans and maintained progress notes.

Source evidence: “daily support” supports delivered support; “individual support plans” supports guided by those plans; and “documented progress notes” supports maintained progress notes. No new achievement or qualification was added.

Gap kept visible

Medication administration certification is not shown in this example source.

Interview question

Tell me about a time you used an individual support plan while supporting a resident. How did you document what happened?

Your resume is the only source.

When you upload your resume, TraceScout breaks it into numbered lines and asks you to attest that they are true. That attested record is the only material TraceScout will ever use to write about you. Tailoring and cover letters never add a skill, a number, or a claim that your attested lines do not support.

Common questions

How is TraceScout different from a job board?

TraceScout complements LinkedIn, Indeed and other job boards rather than replacing them. It brings together opportunities from supported job feeds and compares job requirements with your candidate-attested resume. Review strengths and gaps, then use optional tools to prepare an application grounded in your real experience.

Can I explore local and international jobs?

You can explore local and international opportunities available through TraceScout's supported sources, using the existing location filters. Coverage varies by source and country; not every vacancy is included. Check the original posting for requirements. A listing does not guarantee visa sponsorship, work authorization or eligibility to work in that location.

How does job matching work?

After you review and attest your source resume, TraceScout compares that evidence with job requirements and presents a match score, strengths and gaps. These model-based assessments support your judgment; they are not independent verification of your qualifications. A match does not guarantee an interview, an employer response or a job offer.

What is free, and what is paid?

Start free by exploring opportunities and understanding how your experience matches job requirements. When ready to strengthen an application, optional paid tools can help. Your account, resume upload and attestation, core matching and free resume check remain free. See Pricing for current paid deliverables, eligibility and market-specific prices before choosing.

Will TraceScout invent qualifications on my resume?

No. Job-specific wording must stay grounded in your candidate-attested source resume, without adding unsupported skills, qualifications or achievements. Tailored resumes are checked against that source; unsupported wording must not pass. You review your source information and the prepared resume before using it. This source check is not independent verification of your employment or qualifications.

What can employers do in the Hiring Workspace?

Employers use a separate Hiring Workspace to add real jobs and review participating candidates against job requirements, including internal match results, strengths and gaps. Candidate participation requires invitation and acceptance, and workspace access is restricted to authorized members. These assessments support the hiring team's judgment; they do not make hiring decisions or guarantee outcomes.

How does the Agency Portal work?

Agencies work in a separate portal: invite candidates who accept participation, add clients and real job orders, then score and review candidates internally. Request a tailored resume and wait for its check against the candidate-attested source before generating a client link. The client-facing verification page does not expose internal scores, strengths or gaps.

A separate source check reviews every line.

Every tailored resume is checked line by line against your attested source before you see it. This separate check does not see the job posting. It answers one question only: does your attested resume support this line? A tailored resume is marked verified only when every line passes that source check. TraceScout does not independently verify employment, qualifications, or skills.

Cover letters are checked claim by claim.

When you ask for a cover letter, TraceScout writes it from the same attested resume and checks every claim against your source lines. A cover letter is only marked verified when every claim passes. If a claim cannot be supported, the letter is refused.

Sometimes the honest answer is no.

When a truthful tailored resume or cover letter cannot be verified, TraceScout declines and tells you so, and your resume stays untouched. We consider a refusal a feature, not a failure. It means the same discipline that protects an employer from an inflated resume is protecting you from sending one.

Interview preparation.

You can also practise your answers. Type what you would say, and TraceScout checks every sentence against your attested resume, showing which claims stand on it and which do not, along with whether you answered the question, gave a specific example, and stated a result. It never writes the answer for you and never gives a score.
