How it works
From Resume/CV to shareable brief in seven steps.
You bring the Resume/CV you already have. CandorBrief helps you turn it into a focused brief where you choose what is shared, who can see it, and which prompts visitors can use.
Start here
Begin with the Resume/CV you already have.
Use the same Resume/CV you send to employers. It stays your source document, and CandorBrief builds on top of it.
1
Import it with your own AI tool.
Copy the import prompt from CandorBrief, run it in the AI tool you already use, then paste the returned JSON back for validation. CandorBrief does not use AI. You run this step yourself, and nothing is uploaded or parsed inside the plugin.
Scrub personal details from your Resume/CV before you run the prompt.
2
Review it, then refine it.
Check what was imported, edit each section, and enter dates only as precisely as you know them. Add Professional Links such as your portfolio or LinkedIn.
3
Choose what is public.
Everything starts private. Turn on only the sections and items you want visitors to see, one by one. Professional Links have their own public or private switch.
4
Decide who gets access.
Pick how visitors reach your brief, from fully open to invite-only to completely private. All five modes are included in Free and Pro. Choose a mode below to see what it does for you, then open a live example.
Open Brief
Anyone with your link can review the content you made public and use your available prompts immediately.
Good for: keeping the path between you and a reader as short as possible.
Live example: Milo Sparks, a fictional Pro profile.
See it livePreview Plus Request
Visitors see only the preview you select, then submit and verify a request for full access.
Good for: showing enough to earn interest while keeping the rest for people who ask.
Live example: Milo Sparks, a fictional Pro profile.
See it liveRequest-Only
Visitors submit and verify a request before any profile content or prompts are available.
Good for: knowing who is asking before anything is shared.
Live example: Milo Sparks, a fictional Pro profile.
See it liveProtected Brief
Invite-only access for people you choose. Recipients get a revocable, time-limited email link and never need a WordPress account or password.
Good for: sharing with one recruiter or hiring manager.
Live example: Milo Sparks, a fictional Pro profile.
See it livePrivate
No profile content or request actions are available. The page shows only the high-level CandorBrief context.
Good for: building your brief in peace, or pausing your search.
Live example: Milo Sparks, a fictional Pro profile.

Give visitors better questions with the Prompt Library.
Choose from 40 official prompts in 8 categories. Each one turns only the evidence you made public into a ready-to-use question that a visitor can copy into their own AI tool. The full prompt is always visible before anyone copies it. Pick a category to see what its prompts do.
