Questions, answered

What people ask before they trust us with a job search.

Short version: you stay in control, your data stays yours, and the free tools stay free. The long version is below.

Does Brigandine apply to jobs for me automatically?
No — and that's deliberate. Auto-apply tools spray hundreds of low-quality applications and get flagged by recruiters. Your agent finds matches, scores your fit, filters ghost jobs, and prepares a tailored resume and cover letter for each one. You review and hit send. You stay in control of where your name goes.
Where do the job matches come from?
Your agent scans new postings across major job boards and company career pages, then filters them against your profile. Postings that only appear on aggregators but not the company's own careers page get flagged — that's one of the strongest ghost-job signals.
What happens to my resume and career data?
Your data is used for one thing: matching you to roles and tailoring your applications. We don't sell it, share it with recruiters or employers, or use it to train models for anyone else. Delete your account and your data goes with it.
How does the Ghost Job Detector decide a posting is fake?
It scores every posting on signals correlated with ghost jobs: posting age, salary transparency and realism, requirement inflation, reposting patterns, and vague or recycled language. No detector can be certain — the company itself often doesn't know if it will hire — but the signals are drawn from the same red flags recruiters and researchers have documented. It gives you a probability, not a verdict, so you can decide whether the application is worth your hour.
What do I get free vs. paid?
Free, forever, no signup: Ghost Job Detector, Fit Check, AI Recruiter Visibility Check, and Career Risk Check. The $19/month membership adds your always-on agent: daily scanning, fit-scored matches with ghost jobs pre-filtered, a tailored resume and cover letter for every match, and a board to track it all.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel in one click from your account, effective at the end of your billing period. No calls, no retention flows.
Who's behind Brigandine?
Brigandine is built by an independent developer, not a VC-fueled resume-harvesting operation. A brigandine is a medieval armored jacket — flexible, worn under everything, there when the market takes a swing at you. That's the product philosophy.
