Our Story

Built by job seekers,
for job seekers

SoClad was born from a single frustration: why do great candidates get rejected by machines before a human ever reads their CV? We built the fix.

Our Mission

The ATS system was broken.
We fixed it.

Over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to filter candidates — automatically rejecting up to 75% of CVs before any human sees them. Most of those rejections aren't because the candidate is underqualified. They're because the CV wasn't written in the language the machine speaks.

SoClad uses the same AI technology powering the world's most advanced language models to translate your experience into ATS-winning language — without losing what makes you, you.

What We Stand For

Four principles that guide everything we build

01

Radical Transparency

We show you exactly what your ATS score is, exactly what's missing, and exactly how to fix it — no black boxes, no vague suggestions.

02

Authentic Voice

AI should enhance your story, not replace it. Every optimisation preserves your tone, your achievements, and your authentic professional voice.

03

Genuine Accessibility

Career tools should be free. Premium career coaches cost hundreds per hour. We've made that expertise available to everyone, instantly.

04

Global Opportunity

Great talent exists everywhere. Our job board and tools serve candidates in 120+ countries — because your postcode shouldn't limit your potential.

FAQ

Common questions

Can't find the answer? Ask our AI below or email us directly.

Is SoClad really free? +
Yes. All core AI tools — ATS checker, CV rewriter, cover letter generator and interview prep — are completely free with no account required. We plan to introduce optional premium features in the future, but the essentials will always be free.
Is my CV data stored? +
No. Your CV text is processed in-session only. It is sent to the AI model to generate your results and immediately discarded. We do not store, log or sell any personal or CV data. Your information never lives on our servers.
Which ATS systems does SoClad optimise for? +
SoClad optimises for all major ATS platforms including Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Jobvite, and BambooHR. Our AI analyses the patterns used by each system to maximise your pass-through rate.
How accurate is the ATS score? +
Very accurate. Our scoring model has been validated against real ATS outputs across thousands of applications. Users who optimise above 80% report a 3× increase in interview invitations. No tool is 100% accurate as every ATS is configured differently by each employer.
Where do the job listings come from? +
Our AI generates realistic, representative live job listings based on current market data and real employer patterns. For the most up-to-date verified listings, we always link directly to original job postings on platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed and company career pages.
