For job seekers & hiring teams

A shareable professional profile should make the next step easier.

A WordPress plugin for clear, privacy-aware professional profiles that make recruiting and hiring conversations easier.

CandorBrief helps professionals share the right evidence with the right audience, while giving hiring teams, founders, executives, and prospective clients a clearer starting point than a Resume/CV alone.

Why CandorBrief exists

Your Resume/CV might get you past the robot. It definitely won't get you remembered.

Applicant Tracking Systems reward a standardized, keyword-friendly Resume/CV, the same structure that makes a Resume/CV easy for CandorBrief to import. That standardization can help you get past the screen, but it also makes everyone look the same. A designer can build a personal site to stand out; most people can't, or don't have the time. CandorBrief gives anyone that same advantage: a shareable, human presentation of the same underlying facts, built and controlled by you.

That's intentionality: presenting yourself on purpose, not by default.

Standardized for the screen

ATS parsing rewards a predictable, keyword-friendly format. It says nothing about how you work, communicate, or think, and that’s exactly what a hiring manager remembers.

Your story, not a template

A generic Resume/CV says the same thing to everyone. With CandorBrief, you choose what to show, how to frame it, and which curated prompts guide the conversation. Pro builds on Free and lets you tailor a variation for each audience.

One profile, shared on your terms

Free includes one profile you fully control. Choose what stays public, then share more with one person through a revocable Protected Brief link, without changing what everyone else sees.

Why CandorBrief

Transparent by design, not by accident.

AI-free, always

No OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI API call ever happens inside WordPress, in Free or Pro.

Full transparency

The complete prompt is visible and reviewable before anyone copies or downloads it. No hidden behavior, ever.

You control what’s public

Nothing is public until you explicitly publish it, section by section.

For Recruiters, Hiring Teams, Founders & Executives

Get context before you spend time chasing it down.

A CandorBrief is a focused professional profile, not a generic personal site or a pile of attachments. It shows exactly the evidence a candidate chooses to share for a given audience and access level.

Start with what matters

Review the selected experience, capabilities, projects, and links before you ask for more. The candidate controls what information is shared.

Ask better follow-up questions

When AI prompts are available, they turn the shared information into a practical discussion guide for the AI tool you already use, whether you are hiring, scoping an engagement, or evaluating a partnership.

Keep the process human

CandorBrief helps you prepare for a more informed conversation with a real person, not a verdict.

About CandorBrief

Make your experience easier to understand and easier to remember.

A Resume/CV has to carry a lot in a small space. CandorBrief gives you a focused companion page where you decide what to share, how much access to offer, and what kinds of conversations you want to invite.

For an active job search

Share one clear link with recruiters, hiring leaders, founders, and executives, then keep your public evidence and next steps current without rebuilding a page from scratch.

For a role, engagement, or audience

Put relevant work, links, visibility choices, and prompts in front of the people you want to reach, whether they are hiring for a role, selecting a fractional leader, or scoping contract work.

For more thoughtful conversations

Give people a grounded starting point for interviews, introductions, consulting discussions, fractional leadership, contract work, and career opportunities.

What happens

What a CandorBrief looks like in practice

A CandorBrief isn't a resume file, a portfolio site, or a chatbot. It's a single link to a focused profile you control, and here's what the person you share it with experiences:

1

They read your CandorBrief

Straight from the page, no account required, they get the professional story and shared context you've chosen to publish.

2

They copy a prompt, if one's available

When a prompt is available, they can review it in full, then copy it into the AI tool they already use for structured interview or research questions.

3

They reach out when ready

Using whatever contact or access option you've made available on your CandorBrief.

CandorBrief is AI-free: the professional chooses what information and prompts to share, and you choose whether to use them and which AI tool to use. CandorBrief does not send this profile, your notes, or a copied prompt to an AI service.
