Questions and answers
Straight answers.
What CareerPilot does, what it will not do, and what it costs. If something here is not clear enough, that is worth telling us.
How should I organize my job search?
Decide your target roles and your preferences before you start looking, review new postings once a day at a set time, keep one record per application with a copy of what you sent, and put a date on every follow-up.
We wrote the whole system down in how to organize a job search. It is useful whether or not you use CareerPilot, and it is honest about which parts a tool can take off you and which parts stay yours.
What is CareerPilot?
CareerPilot is a career employee. You tell it what you are looking for, and it checks new job listings against that every day, prepares the strongest matches, and leaves the decision with you.
It is not a job board and not a recruiter. It is not paid by employers and has no interest in who anybody hires. CareerPilot is a product of Tolopilot LLC.
Does CareerPilot apply to jobs for me?
No. It writes the application and stops.
CareerPilot prepares the material and shows you all of it. Sending it takes your click, and there is no setting anywhere that changes that. Nothing about you reaches an employer through CareerPilot.
How does CareerPilot work?
You upload your resume once and set your preferences. From then on CareerPilot reads new listings as they are posted and checks each one against what you asked for. What qualifies is prepared for you. What was set aside is kept too, with the reason, so you can check the call rather than take it on faith.
What happens after I upload my resume?
CareerPilot reads your titles, your dates and what you were responsible for, then shows you what it understood so you can correct anything. Anything you correct there is corrected everywhere else. If you would rather not upload a file, you can type the same details instead, and they are used the same way.
Will CareerPilot change or invent my experience?
No. Everything written for you comes from your own experience. CareerPilot presents your real work well, and it will never add a role, a title or a result you did not have.
How does CareerPilot decide which jobs are worth showing me?
It checks the things listings state clearly: the role, where the job is based, and whether it is remote, hybrid or on-site. Those are the preferences it applies for you.
It does not judge pay, seniority or industry on its own, because most listings do not say enough to judge them fairly. It shows those to you instead.
What happens when a listing does not say enough?
CareerPilot flags it for you rather than guessing. Anything it could not judge is kept and marked, never quietly dropped, and nothing is set aside without a reason you can see.
Where does CareerPilot work?
The United States. CareerPilot matches opportunities located in the United States, including remote roles open to people based there. Roles in countries we do not support are not matched to you, even when our sourcing can see them.
Where CareerPilot works has the detail, including the limits.
Can I change my preferences later?
Whenever you like, from your profile. The next review uses your new answers.
Can anyone sign up?
Yes. Anyone can create a CareerPilot account. There is a free plan to see how it works before you decide about a paid one.
What is included in the free plan?
1 resume review a month and 5 job matches a month, with the reason behind every decision. Nothing is charged, and nothing is ever sent for you.
How do the paid plans work?
$9.99 a week for the weeks your search is active, or $29 a month if it runs longer. Both turn on the daily review, 50 job matches a month, a tailored resume for every strong match, and cover letters and application answers.
There is no annual plan. A job search is a burst, not a yearly commitment, so we do not sell one.
Can I cancel?
One click in your account, at any time. No email, no phone call, no retention offer. Billing stops at the end of the period you have already paid for.
How are payments handled?
Card details go directly to Stripe, the payment processor. No card number ever reaches us, so we hold nothing that could be exposed.
What happens to my information?
Nothing is sold. Download and delete are both one click in your account, whether or not you are paying, and deleting removes your resume and everything built from it.
The Privacy Policy names every company that processes it for us. Trust and control sets out what we store and why.
How do I contact support?
Write to support@tolopilot.com and a person replies. Not a form, and not a bot. Support is answered by the team that builds the product. More ways to reach us.
