Fight AI recruiting hell
with a writing coach,
not a resume mill.
Most career tools generate generic slop you have to edit anyway.
WithFire guides you to write your own resume — surfacing the real stories,
preserving your voice, and making you remember it in the interview.
How it works
Upload your resume
Seeds the coaching with what you've already written. Even if it's bad. Especially if it's bad.
Coaching conversations
Spaced over days, guided by motivational interviewing. We probe for specifics, surface stories you forgot you had, and flag the minimization you didn't notice.
Write your resume
A two-pane editor with your notes on one side and your writing on the other. The AI scores for specificity, ownership, and impact — then gets out of your way.
Tailor to any role
Paste a job posting. See what you match, what you're missing, and what stories from your history cover the gap — all sourced from your coaching notes, not fabricated.
The research says writing it yourself works.
The Generation Effect
People who write their own bullets recall them 30–50% better than people who read AI-generated ones. (Slamecka & Graf, 1978)
Retrieval Practice
Pulling memories from your own experience produces better long-term retention than re-studying — or editing an AI draft. (Karpicke & Roediger, 2008)
Elaborative Encoding
Information encoded with emotional cues and personal narrative creates more retrieval pathways. The story you remember is the one you tell. (Willoughby et al., 1997)
Built from experience
WithFire was born from a layoff. The founder spent weeks looking for a tool that would help him write his own story — not generate someone else's idea of it. He didn't find one. So he built it.
At $8/month with auto-cancel at 3 months, we're not trying to keep you searching forever. We're trying to get you hired.
