ClearHire FAQ

This ClearHire FAQ is a collection of plain answers to the questions people most often ask about the app — covering pricing, accounts, verification, privacy, resume formats, platforms, and account deletion. If you want depth on a specific feature, follow the links into the feature pages and guides.

Pricing and access​

Does ClearHire cost anything?​

No. There are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. It does show first-party promotions for the developer's other apps, including a promo card that opens shortly after launch; there are no third-party ad networks. A separate paid white-label license exists for organizations that want their own branded deployment — it has no effect on the public app. Supporting the project at aoneahsan.com/payment is optional.

Do I need an account to use it?​

Yes. Because ClearHire saves your profile, resumes, applications, and verification requests, you sign in so your data persists and syncs across devices. Sign-in is Google-only — there is no email-and-password registration. If you do not want to use a Google account, ClearHire is not usable today.

Does it cost anything for companies?​

No. Both the job-seeker and the company sides are free to use. Paying is only involved if a company licenses its own white-label deployment of the platform, which is a separate arrangement.

Verification​

How does employment verification work?​

You request verification of a specific role from your employer; an authorized contact confirms it; the role then shows a "Verified" badge. See employment verification and the how-to guide.

Does a Verified badge prove I was a good employee?​

No. It confirms the role existed and was acknowledged by the employer. It does not rate performance, confirm salary, or validate seniority.

What happens if my employer doesn't respond?​

The request has a timeout and lapses if unanswered. You can send a new request or choose a different contact — a lapsed request is not a rejection.

Privacy and data​

What data does ClearHire collect?​

It stores your profile, resumes, applications, reviews, and verification data, and uses providers for auth, analytics, and monitoring. See the privacy summary for specifics.

Can employers see my data?​

You control what you export and send. Verification shares only what is needed with the employer you ask. Companies using talent search work within ClearHire's matching; you decide what to publish and which resumes to send.

Is my resume private?​

Your profile and resumes are tied to your account. A resume becomes visible to an employer only when you send or upload it. You choose who receives it.

How do I delete my account?​

Use the in-app account-deletion flow in the account or settings area, then confirm. Export your resumes first. Details: data export and deletion.

Resumes and tools​

PDF or DOCX — which should I use?​

Use PDF to apply (it preserves layout) and DOCX when the file needs editing. See export PDF or DOCX.

What are reviews based on?​

Reviews are mutual and tied to a verified employment link, so they come from people who actually worked together. See company reviews.

Platforms​

Is there an iOS app?​

No. There is no iOS build, and no release date has been set. ClearHire ships on the web and Android; on an iPhone or iPad, use the web app in Safari.

Should I use the web app or the Android app?​

Either — they share one account and data. Use the web app on desktop and the Android app on the go.

Is the browser extension available?​

No. It is built, but the first Chrome Web Store submission is still pending, so there is nothing to install yet. When it ships it will support LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor only, and its data stays in your browser rather than syncing to your account. See browser extension.
