Why $1
Most resume tools charge $25–$50/month. That's the right price if you're a recruiter or career coach using the tool every day. It's the wrong price for a job seeker who needs to tailor 5–20 resumes during a search and then stops. The $1 wedge is the no-account, no-subscription path so you can pay exactly for the tool you need exactly when you need it.
What ATSHack will not do
ATSHack does not fabricate experience. It does not invent jobs, dates, certifications, metrics, OSHA hours, NCCER credentials, IBEW affiliations, federal series codes, or skills. It uses only the content from the resume you upload — rephrasing bullets, surfacing relevant keywords, and reformatting for ATS parsing. If you don't have it on the source resume, it doesn't go on the tailored output.
This rule is non-negotiable because hiring managers, union halls, federal HR, and security clearance investigators all verify credentials before offers. A fabricated resume that gets you to round one ends the search at round two when the verification fails.
Who built this
ATSHack is built and run by Darius Stroman, founder of Stromation. Stromation is an AI services and pay-per-use SaaS portfolio; ATSHack was the first product in that portfolio and the proof-of-concept for the $1-per-use pricing pattern.
About Darius Stroman
Darius is a software engineer based in the United States who built ATSHack after watching a stack of well-qualified friends and family members get auto-rejected by ATS filters they didn't know were screening them. The product is the technical answer to a problem most career coaches treat as soft skills: keywords, parsing, and structure.
The product, in plain terms
You upload a resume (PDF, DOCX, or text). You paste a job posting. You pay $1. In about 60 seconds, you receive an ATS-optimized PDF and an editable DOCX with your existing experience rephrased to match the keywords, structure, and emphasis of that posting. The PDF is single-column with standard headers — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo all parse it cleanly. The DOCX gives you something to keep editing.
What's not in the product
ATSHack is not a resume builder. We don't make you re-enter your work history into a template. We don't store your resume long-term on the $1 path — files are processed in memory and discarded after delivery. We don't run a Chrome extension, an application tracker, a kanban board, or a LinkedIn rewrite tool. Other companies (Teal, Jobscan, Resume Worded) do those things well — we don't try to compete on bundle.
Pro tier
If you need ongoing access — saved history, the STAR interview coach, an AI follow-up email generator, and a 50-tailor-per-month allowance — ATSHack Pro is $15/month or $99/year. Pro users get a 30-day file retention window in the dashboard and can come back to redownload or re-tailor without re-uploading their source resume.
