Why you're not getting hired.
A diagnostic for job seekers who want a real answer — not another resume template. Every finding in your report is tied to a specific response you gave. Nothing is generated about you that your answers don't support.
In 6 minutes, you'll know the one thing standing between you and an offer.

Yes, AI assembles it. No, it isn't guessing about you.
Your report is generated by AI — but inside a diagnostic framework Shauna built from her work as an MBA professor and HR leader. The AI doesn't decide who you are. It maps your specific answers against that framework and writes the result up.
Every finding cites the answer it came from. If a claim isn't supported by something you actually said, it doesn't go in the report. No invented credentials, no made-up backstory, no horoscope-style filler.
What you get.
Eight integrated modules. Each one is assembled from your answers — not from a template.
- 04Full diagnostic reportTied line-by-line to your answers. No generic filler.
- 05Career narrative diagnosisWhether your story adds up to a thesis, or fragments into noise.
- 06Structural barrier analysisATS filters, ghost jobs, and sector contraction — how much of your rejection isn't about you.
- 07Interview conversion riskIf you've reached interviews, why the final stages aren't closing.
- 08Workplace power blind-spot analysisThe political dynamics inside companies that job seekers consistently misread.
I'd been applying for four months and getting nowhere. The report named exactly what I was doing wrong and gave me three things to change.
I expected generic advice. Instead every finding came back to something I actually said. That part surprised me.
The archetype section was uncomfortably accurate. Worth it just for that.
Your score is a 0–100 read on how recruiters and processes are likely to interpret the strength of your candidacy, with the lowest category driving your report.
You're adjacent to the role, and adjacency is being read as risk. You reach interviews — sometimes finals — but adjacency makes hiring teams cautious in the decision room.
Effort isn't converting. The fix is structural — not cosmetic — and usually means rebuilding how you show up.
Your search isn't broken — a few specific friction points are reducing conversion. The fix is narrow: two or three decisions, not twenty.
The basics are working. Remaining gains come from timing, channel selection, and late-stage decision dynamics.
Your effort is being absorbed by the funnel, not converted by it.
Your evidenceYou said you've applied to over 150 roles in 90 days, most of them through public job boards, with no applications coming through a warm referral.
MoveCut applications by 80%. Spend the recovered time generating warm introductions to a defined target list of 25 companies.
Your story describes what you did. It doesn't explain why it matters.
Your evidenceYou described a series of roles with clear scope and responsibilities, but when asked what connects them, you named the industry rather than a through-line about the problems you solve or the outcomes you create.
MoveRewrite your LinkedIn summary and opening interview answer around one claim: the specific type of problem you are unusually good at solving. Everything else becomes evidence for that claim.
What this diagnoses.
- 01Hiring frictionWhere the funnel rejects you before a human reads it.
- 02Market fitWhether your positioning matches the role you actually want.
- 03Interview conversion riskWhy late stages are or aren't closing.
- 04Career narrative issuesWhether your story compounds or fragments.
- 05ATS exposureHow much of your rejection is structural.
- 06Structural hiring barriersGhost jobs, timing, internal candidates.
- 07Workplace power blind spotsHow accurately you read the system you're inside of.
"Multiple short tenures may be interpreted as instability — even if each move was justified. Hiring teams pattern-match before they reason."
You know something isn't working.You just haven't been told what.
Another month of applications won't surface the pattern. Another resume rewrite won't either. Six minutes of honest answers will — and you'll stop guessing about the part of this you can actually change.
