Clear answers for your career journey.

Hike is a career intelligence platform for people who want to make more informed career decisions. It helps you understand your fit for a role, see the evidence behind that view and keep track of your career progress.

Further reading: How Hike works

Hike reads your CV and a job description together to identify matching skills, gaps and cultural-fit signals. It then explains the result in plain English; the 0–100 score is calculated using a fixed formula, not chosen by AI.

No. Hike gives you information and guidance to help you make a stronger decision, but it cannot predict every part of a hiring process. Internal candidates, changing hiring managers and details missing from a job advert can all affect an outcome.

Hike uses the experience and evidence you share to assess fit and, where available, help create a targeted CV. A targeted CV is generated from your own words and should emphasise the experience most relevant to the role without adding qualifications or experience you have not described.

Hike can help you understand relevance and present your real experience clearly, but it does not promise to bypass an ATS or guarantee an application result. You should always review a targeted CV carefully and make sure it is accurate before submitting it.

Hike uses third-party large language models to read, interpret and write helpful career content, such as job-fit explanations and targeted CV drafts. Hike's scores are calculated by deterministic code, and AI output is a starting point for your judgement rather than a final verdict.

Hike can flag CV language patterns that may trigger age, gender, ethnicity or socio-economic bias in automated screening. These flags are suggestions based on published research: you decide whether to act on them, and Hike never changes your CV without your instruction.
