Know where you stand
before a recruiter does.
GetHired screens your CV against real entry-level cybersecurity job postings, runs a checkpoint-based practical skills assessment, and turns both into a sequenced roadmap — "start here, then this, then this." Built for freshers, career switchers, and anyone self-taught trying to land their first cybersecurity role.
What's Inside
Three tools, one path.
Each one produces real, structured gap data — not vague advice — and each one feeds the next.
See what recruiters and ATS filters actually check for
Upload a PDF or DOCX CV and get scored against certifications, tools, concepts & frameworks, scripting, and soft skills pulled from real fresher-level SOC analyst, VAPT, and cybersecurity intern postings — with "worth adding" suggestions, not just a pass/fail.
Prove skill, not just resume keywords
Static, checkpoint-based scenarios — a log excerpt, a vulnerable code snippet, a SOC alert — covering log analysis, networking, vulnerability identification, OWASP Top 10, and incident-response triage. No live lab infrastructure required; every answer is checked against a known-correct value.
A sequence, not a wall of suggestions
Combines your CV and assessment gaps into an honest, ordered plan — fundamentals first, then hands-on practice, then certifications — so you know what to actually do next instead of facing a flat list of everything you're missing at once.
Who It's For
Built for people starting out.
Not another tool that assumes you already have three years of SOC experience.
Final-year and recent CS/IT grads
See exactly which certifications and tools show up most often in fresher postings before you apply.
B.Sc, diploma, and self-taught candidates
Education is shown as informational context only — never scored, never a gate. What matters is what you can demonstrate.
Moving into security from another field
Get an honest read on real gaps instead of guessing which skills actually matter to hiring managers.
Been studying, not sure it's landing
The practical assessment checks whether concepts you've read about actually translate to investigation reasoning.
Process
How it works.
Three steps, all in one sitting — no account, no setup.
Upload your CV
Get an instant score against real fresher cybersecurity job requirements, broken down by category, with advisory next-step suggestions — not a rejection letter in disguise.
Take the practical assessment
Work through static, self-contained scenarios that mirror how an analyst actually investigates — no lab setup, no vulnerable VM to spin up.
Get your sequenced roadmap
Both results combine into a step-by-step plan — fundamentals, then hands-on practice, then certifications — so you always know what to work on next.

SOC Lab — Wazuh Log Monitoring
A complete home-lab guide to deploying Wazuh, connecting an agent, running attacks, and reading the alerts they generate — the exact muscle the log-analysis checkpoints test.
Read the guide →OSINT Framework — 2026 Edition
Open-source intelligence and investigation workflows that underpin a lot of the "concepts & frameworks" reasoning GetHired's CV screener and assessment both check for.

Good to know.
Is GetHired free to use?
+Yes. There's no cost, no paywall, and no login required to screen a CV or take the practical assessment.
Does GetHired use AI to grade my CV or assessment?
+No. GetHired is deliberately rule-based end to end — weighted keyword matching for the CV screener, exact-match checkpoint grading for the practical assessment, and config-driven logic for the roadmap. No LLM or external AI API is called anywhere in the product, by design — partly for cost reasons, partly so every score is explainable and reproducible.
What if I don't have hands-on experience yet?
+That's exactly who GetHired is built for. The practical assessment doesn't require any lab setup or prior tooling — it's a set of static, self-contained scenarios you can attempt with no infrastructure of your own. The roadmap it produces is meant to be the starting point, not a gate you have to already pass.
Does a non-CS or non-traditional background hurt my score?
+No. Education is shown as informational context only — it's explicitly excluded from the overall score and never generates a "get a different degree" recommendation. What's scored is skills, tools, and demonstrated concepts.
Ready When You Are
