Upgrade from a simple resume to a Resume Pro Max.
Your resume, with the proof attached.
One file. Your resume exactly as you wrote it, then what the people who worked with you actually said. Verified, in their own words.
AI can write anything about you. It cannot remember working with you.
Directional results from the pilot. No inflated numbers here.
Every resume makes the same promises.
Results-driven. Team player. Strong stakeholder management. A recruiter reads hundreds of these, and every word was written by the person who benefits from it.
- Written by the candidateEvery line on a resume was chosen by the person it describes. That is not dishonesty. It is just not evidence.
- The proof comes lastWhat a former manager thinks arrives at the end of the process, over a phone call, if anyone makes the call at all.
- The shortlist is already madeBy the time a reference is checked, the decision on who gets interviewed was taken on self-description alone.
And now everyone's resume is excellent.
Every applicant has the same AI. So every applicant reads the same. Ten years of real work and a well-prompted first draft arrive looking identical.
The thing that used to set you apart did not get better. It disappeared.
Other AIs make you a robot on your resume. We make you human.
The only AI in GoodWord works on other people's words about you. Your resume stays exactly as you wrote it. Not a word changed.
Move from a simple resume to a Resume Pro Max.
100X the effectiveness of your resume.
Resume Pro Max
- Your resume, unchanged
- What your manager, peers and clients said, verified
- Whether they would want you on their team again, asked of each one privately
- A verify link on every report page
Same email. Better attachment.
What is inside the report.
The report is what you earn. Resume Pro Max is how you send it.
The first report page, with each part explained. Hover or tap a number.
- Validated strengthsDrawn from what the referees wrote, never inflated beyond it.
- Areas to growEvery reference includes one, by design. The candid part is what makes the rest believable.
- The summaryWritten by AI from the referees' own words. Nothing added that they did not say.
- Would they want this person on their team again?Each referee is asked privately. The report shows the tally.
- Each referee's written responseShown by role unless they chose to be named.
- When each reference was givenTo the month, so a recruiter knows how current it is.
- Response IntegrityOne word: Strong, Good, Moderate or Basic. Based on verification signals, never on how positive the feedback is.
- Report ID and verify linkOn every page. Anyone holding the file can check it at source.
See one before you make one.
Two resume pages, then the report. The report pages are marked in gold and every one of them carries the report ID and the verify link.
Fictional candidate, fictional referees, watermarked as a sample. Real files are built only from your referees' submissions.
Four steps. One file.
-
Nominate up to five referees.
Former managers, peers, clients, people who reported to you. You choose. Ask while they still remember: the end of a job or a project is the best time, and the report is ready whenever you next need it.
-
They write, in their own words.
Each referee is confirmed by email through a private, single-use link. A few minutes each.
-
Your report is written from what they said.
Strengths, areas to grow and a summary, written by AI from their exact words and never made stronger than what they wrote.
-
Add your resume. Download one file.
Your pages first, then your report. Make it again whenever your references change.
Made for sending to a human.
Send the report on its own as a link, or send Resume Pro Max as one file. Same proof, two shapes.
- Replying to a recruiter who reached out
- Emailing a hiring manager directly
- A referral from a friend inside the company
- A WhatsApp or LinkedIn message to someone who asked for your CV
- A printed copy for the interview
Use your plain resume on job portals. Send Resume Pro Max to people.
Both sides walk in prepared.
The same file that gets you the interview makes the interview better.
You
- You know which strengths three people independently confirmed.
- You know your growth areas before anyone asks.
- You prepare for the conversation that will actually happen.
One file, both chairs.
The hiring manager
- They read verified strengths and growth areas before the call.
- They skip the resume theatre.
- They ask better questions, because they know what to ask about.
No other document in hiring prepares both sides of the table.
The people doing the hiring have noticed.
Feedback from hiring managers in the GoodWord early-access pilot. Anonymized, as everything here is.
It's easier for us to identify the real potential candidates, quicker.
Since we already know a person's strengths and improvement areas, it's easy to have a real conversation with them and gauge how they think.
The report gives a hiring manager a better interview, not just a screen. And every report page carries a report ID and a verify link, so a recruiter can check the file is authentic without going back to the candidate.
Questions, answered short.
What is the GoodWord report?
The GoodWord report is your credibility report: verified references from the people you worked with, in their own words. It holds validated strengths, areas to grow, a summary, whether each referee would want you on their team again and each referee's written response, shown by role. You earn it by collecting references on GoodWord.
What is Resume Pro Max?
Your resume, exactly as you wrote it, with your GoodWord report attached after it. One file, made for sending to a human. The report is what you earn. Resume Pro Max is how you send it.
Is this a background check?
No. A background check looks for problems. A GoodWord report collects what the people you worked with say about you, in their own words. Then it puts that in your hands to send.
Who can be a referee?
Former managers, peers, clients, skip-level managers and people who reported to you. You nominate up to five. You choose who.
Do my referees need an account?
No. Each referee gets a private, single-use link by email and writes their reference there. A few minutes, no sign-up.
Will recruiters see my referees' names?
By role only, such as Direct Manager or Peer, unless the referee chose to be named.
What if a referee writes something critical?
Every reference includes an area to grow, by design. That is what makes the rest believable. You cannot edit what they wrote.
What happens to my resume?
It is never stored. GoodWord reads it, merges it with your report and hands the file back in one step. Nothing stays on our servers.
Can I use it on job portals?
Use your plain resume there. Resume Pro Max is for sending to a human: a recruiter, a hiring manager, a friend who asked for your CV.
When do the individual written responses appear?
Once you have three or more references. Below that, the report shows the summary, the strengths and the verification facts.
How is this different from LinkedIn recommendations?
A LinkedIn recommendation is public. You choose it, you display it and it is never critical. A GoodWord reference is written for a private report, includes an area to grow by design, answers whether they would want you on their team again and travels inside your resume file as Resume Pro Max.
How long is a report valid?
12 months. The file itself can be remade any time your references change.
What keeps it honest.
- Your resume is carried through unchanged.
- The report is rebuilt every time you make the file.
- Each referee is confirmed by email through a private, single-use link.
- Anonymous by default, named only where the referee chose.
- You cannot edit what they wrote.
- Every reference includes an area to grow, by design.
- Words, not numbers. No scores anywhere.
- Your resume is never stored: read, merged, handed back, gone.

Privacy Policy
Effective date: 19 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GoodWord ("GoodWord", "we", "us", "our") collects and handles your personal data when you join our early-access waitlist at goodword.tech. It is written to comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the "DPDP Act").
This policy covers the waitlist only. GoodWord's product - referee nominations, verified feedback, and credibility reports - is not yet open to the public. When product access opens, a separate, fuller privacy policy will govern that data, and we will ask for your consent again before collecting anything beyond what is described here.
Who is responsible for your data
The Data Fiduciary for your waitlist data is GoodWord Technologies Private Limited, operating GoodWord at goodword.tech, correspondence address Tower 4, NESCO, Goregaon East, Mumbai. A Data Fiduciary is the person who decides why and how your personal data is processed under the DPDP Act.
What we collect, and why
When you join the waitlist, we collect only what you enter in the form:
| Data | Why we collect it |
|---|---|
| Your name | To address you when we contact you about access |
| Your email address | To notify you when your early-access slot opens, and to send you launch-related updates |
| Your current designation | To understand who is joining and to open access in relevant batches |
| The job domain you're targeting | Same - to prioritise and sequence access by domain |
We do not collect anything else at this stage. We do not ask for your resume, your referees, payment details, or any sensitive personal data on the waitlist.
The basis on which we process it: your consent
We process your waitlist data on the basis of your consent, which you give by ticking the consent box and submitting the form. Under the DPDP Act, that consent is free, specific, informed, unconditional, and given by a clear affirmative action - and it is limited to the purposes listed above. We will not use your waitlist data for any new purpose without asking you again.
How long we keep it
We keep your waitlist data until the earlier of: (a) you ask us to delete it, (b) you withdraw your consent, or (c) twelve months after GoodWord's public launch, after which waitlist data that hasn't converted to an account is deleted. If you join GoodWord as a user, your data will then be governed by the product privacy policy in force at that time.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We share it only with service providers who help us run the waitlist - for example, the tool that stores the list and the email service that sends you updates - and only to the extent they need it to provide that service to us. These providers are Data Processors acting on our instructions.
Where it's stored
Your waitlist data may be stored and processed on servers operated by our service providers, which may be located outside India. Where that happens, it is only with providers that are not in any country restricted for such transfers by the Government of India under the DPDP Act.
Your rights under the DPDP Act
As a Data Principal, you have the right to:
- Access - ask us what personal data of yours we hold and how we've processed it.
- Correction and updating - ask us to correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure - ask us to delete your data, unless we're required to keep it by law.
- Withdraw consent - withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it. Withdrawing consent means we stop processing your waitlist data and remove you from the list; it doesn't affect anything we lawfully did before you withdrew.
- Grievance redressal - raise a complaint with us first (see below), and, if unsatisfied, escalate to the Data Protection Board of India.
- Nominate - nominate another individual to exercise these rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity.
To exercise any of these, write to our Grievance Officer at the contact below. We'll respond within a reasonable period as required by law.
Children's data
GoodWord's waitlist is intended for working professionals and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted their data, write to us and we'll delete it.
Security
We take reasonable security safeguards to protect your waitlist data against loss, unauthorised access, and disclosure. No system is perfectly secure, but the data we hold at this stage is limited by design - the less we collect, the less there is to protect.
Cookies and analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how it is being used. To do that, Google Analytics sets cookies on your device and processes technical information including your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location (country or city level), the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site.
We use this only in aggregate - to see how many people visit, where they come from, and which parts of the page hold attention - so we can improve the site and gauge demand ahead of launch. We do not use analytics data to identify you personally, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not sell it or share it with advertisers. Google acts as our service provider for this; Google's own handling of the data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
If you would rather not be measured, you can opt out at any time - block or delete cookies in your browser settings, browse in a private window, or install Google's official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The site works exactly the same either way; nothing here depends on analytics.
Beyond analytics, we set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of our own. We also load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts, and your waitlist submission is sent to our list-storage service; neither is used to track you across other websites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as GoodWord develops. If we make a material change, we'll update the effective date above, and - because we have your email - we'll tell you.
