Straight answers
Quick questions
Is HireStack free?
Yes. The tools are free to use. There is no account, subscription or paywall.
Does HireStack use AI?
No. The tools use transparent, deterministic browser-side logic: weighted scoring, role-skill matrices, a curated question bank and proposal templates. They do not call an AI service.
Where is my information stored?
Tool progress and interview ratings are saved in localStorage on this browser. Proposal text is generated in the page and is not sent to a server. Clearing browser data removes locally saved progress.
Is HireStack affiliated with Upwork?
No. HireStack is an independent project by LYF Mail. Some optional links may be affiliate links. Upwork does not sponsor or endorse HireStack.
Is the portfolio score an objective hiring score?
No. It is a self-assessment checklist designed to identify missing portfolio evidence. It is not a hiring prediction, guarantee of work, or professional certification.
