Research
We’re studying how to match job requirements with the work people describe in their résumés.
What we’re testing
Say a job calls for planning and running a production cutover. A résumé that says “led a migration” could describe that work, or it could mean coordinating the teams involved. We’re testing whether First Read can tell those apart and recognize comparable work described in different words.
We also want to learn where First Read misrepresents someone’s work. Applicants should have a chance to correct those mistakes before a reviewer sees them.

Research submissions are not open yet. We’ll explain what we’d keep and ask for separate permission before accepting any documents.
