Frequently asked questions

Cornerman is an end-to-end interview preparation and job search platform. It helps you discover jobs (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, or any URL), manage resumes with versioning and LLM-based parsing, track applications on a kanban board, generate tailored resumes and cover letters, check your ATS-friendliness score, analyze skill gaps, practice with voice interviews, get real-time live coaching, and review post-session debriefs — all without adding a bot to your call.

No. Cornerman does not add a bot, assistant, recorder, or extra participant to your interview call. You are responsible for using it in a way that follows the rules of your interview, platform, and jurisdiction.

Yes. Cornerman is designed for common interview setups including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, phone calls, and practice sessions.

Cornerman starts with a $1 trial (3 sessions over 3 days), then converts to one flat plan — $39/mo with unlimited sessions — unless you cancel before the trial ends. No tiers and nothing to ration: practice interviews, live coaching, resume tailoring, cover letters, ATS scoring, and skill-gap analysis are all included. It's built for a job search, so cancel anytime from the billing portal the moment you land.

Cornerman is positioned as a coach, not an answer generator. It surfaces short hints — STAR prompts, frameworks, and angles from your own prep — rather than feeding you full scripted answers. It is also significantly more affordable than every major competitor (Final Round AI is $25–$148/month, LockedIn is $35–$70/month).

Cornerman is designed for ethical coaching, not interview cheating. It surfaces hints based on your own prepared experience and resume — the same kind of guidance a human interview coach would give in advance. It does not generate or read out fabricated answers.

Audio is streamed only during active sessions to real-time transcription or voice providers. Cornerman does not store audio recordings. Transcript text, prep materials, suggestions, summaries, resumes, job listings, application data, and candidate context are stored by Cornerman so they can appear in your dashboard.

Yes. Cornerman handles behavioral, technical, and system design rounds. For coding interviews, it surfaces approach frameworks, clarifying questions to ask, and common edge cases — without generating code for you.

No. Cornerman does not scrape LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor for legal and ToS-compliance reasons. It supports job discovery via Ashby, Greenhouse, and Lever public APIs (thousands of companies use these) and lets you paste any URL to extract job details. You can also add jobs manually.

You can upload or paste resumes into your vault. Each resume is automatically parsed by the LLM into structured fields (skills, experience, education, certifications). You can create multiple versions, activate the one you want to use, and Cornerman will reference it when tailoring applications.

Cornerman takes your active resume and the job description, tailors it using the LLM (re-ordering and emphasizing relevant experience), then runs a second factual-claims check to ensure nothing was invented. You review the diff before saving, and you can optionally generate a cover letter too. Each generation counts toward your monthly LLM quota.

Yes. Your plan can be cancelled at any time from the Stripe billing portal in your dashboard. You will keep access until the end of your current billing period.
