Question 1

Preciprocal is an AI-powered job search operating system. It combines resume analysis (ATS scoring, recruiter eye simulation, candidate benchmarking, interview intelligence), voice-based mock interviews with a multi-agent panel, cover letter generation, AI study planning, LinkedIn optimisation, cold outreach, and a job tracker with contact finder — all in one platform.

Question 2

Who is Preciprocal for?

Accepted Answer

Students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals preparing for any role — tech, finance, consulting, marketing, HR, healthcare, legal, and more. Every tool adapts to your target role and industry.

Question 3

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Sign up free at app.preciprocal.com — no credit card needed. Upload a resume and get your ATS score in 2 minutes, or jump straight into a mock interview. The platform walks you through everything.

Question 4

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Not yet — Preciprocal is fully web-based and works on any device with a modern browser. A native app is on our roadmap.

Question 5

How is this different from using ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT is a general-purpose chatbot. Preciprocal is a purpose-built system with specialised AI agents for each task — ATS scoring calibrated against real hiring data, a multi-agent interview panel, recruiter eye-tracking simulation based on published research, and a full application pipeline.

Question 6

Do you have a Chrome extension?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Preciprocal Chrome extension lets you save jobs from LinkedIn and job boards with one click, auto-import job descriptions for resume tailoring, and track applications without leaving the page.

Question 7

How many tools does Preciprocal include?

Accepted Answer

11 core tools: Resume Analysis (ATS + Benchmarking + Recruiter Sim + Interview Intel), Resume Tailoring, Mock Interviews, Cover Letter Generator, Study Planner, LinkedIn Optimiser, Cold Outreach Generator, Interview Debrief Journal, Job Tracker, Contact Finder, and Chrome Extension.

Question 8

Does it work for non-tech roles?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Every tool adapts to your target role — whether you're applying for software engineering, finance, consulting, marketing, HR, healthcare, or any other field. The AI tailors its analysis, questions, and recommendations to the specific role and job description you provide.

Question 9

Is Preciprocal really $9.99/mo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro is $9.99/month (or $7.49/mo billed annually). We built Preciprocal for students and early-career professionals who can't afford $50–100/mo tools.

Question 10

Do you offer a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier includes 5 resume analyses, 3 mock interviews, 5 cover letters, 2 LinkedIn optimisations, 1 interview debrief, 2 contact lookups, a 10-job tracker, and basic analytics per month. It's a real free plan, not a 7-day trial.

Question 11

Is there a student discount?

Accepted Answer

Students with a .edu email get 1 month of Pro completely free — no credit card required to activate.

Question 12

What's the difference between Pro and Premium?

Accepted Answer

Pro ($9.99/mo): 20 resume analyses, 30 mock interviews, unlimited cover letters, full resume editor, recruiter eye simulation, and complete analytics. Premium ($24.99/mo): unlimited everything, company-specific prep, advanced study planning, and a full LinkedIn rewrite.

Question 13

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 30 days, no questions asked. If Preciprocal doesn't help your job search, email support@preciprocal.com for a full refund.

Question 14

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing → Cancel Subscription. No fee, no waiting period. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

Question 15

How do mock interviews work?

Accepted Answer

Our voice-based interviews use a multi-agent AI system to simulate a real interview panel — HR screener, technical lead, and hiring manager. You speak into your mic, they respond with follow-up questions, and you get a detailed debrief with scoring across 5 dimensions.

Question 16

Do I need a webcam?

Accepted Answer

No. Mock interviews are voice-only — you just need a microphone. Your built-in laptop mic works fine.

Question 17

What types of interviews can I practise?

Accepted Answer

Technical (coding + system design), behavioural (STAR method), case interviews (consulting), finance interviews (DCF, LBO), marketing strategy, and general screening. You can target specific companies and roles, select difficulty level, and the AI adjusts accordingly.

Question 18

Can I practise for a specific company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter the company name and role, and the AI tailors questions to that company's known interview style, values, and technical focus areas.

Question 19

What is ATS scoring?

Accepted Answer

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is the software used by most large employers to automatically filter resumes before a human sees them. Our ATS scorer analyses your resume across keyword matching, formatting compatibility, section structure, and header parsing — and gives you a score out of 100 with specific fixes.

Question 20

What is the Recruiter Eye Simulation?

Accepted Answer

Based on published eye-tracking research, we simulate how three reviewers approach your document: an HR screener (quick first pass), a technical lead (deeper skill evaluation), and a hiring manager (impact & leadership focus). You see an attention heatmap showing where each reviewer's eyes go and what gets missed.

Question 21

Can I tailor my resume to a specific job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste a job description into the Tailor tab, and the AI rewrites specific bullets to better match — adjusting keywords, reframing experience, and prioritising relevant skills. Every change is shown in a clear 'original → rewrite' format for your approval.

Question 22

How does the cover letter generator work?

Accepted Answer

Paste a job description and the AI (1) researches the company in real-time, (2) analyses job requirements against your resume, and (3) writes a personalised letter connecting your experience to their needs, referencing real company details.

Question 23

How does the AI Study Planner work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your target role, interview date, current skill level, and daily time commitment. The AI generates a personalised day-by-day schedule with tasks, curated resources, daily quizzes, and an AI coach you can ask questions anytime.

Question 24

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We never sell your data, never use it for advertising, and never share it with third parties.

Question 25

Do you use my resume to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your data is used exclusively to serve you. It is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI models.

Question 26

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email support@preciprocal.com or use the in-app support widget in Settings → Support. We respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
