$9.95 every 6 months (less than $1.70 per month), which covers automated resume parsing into STAR stories, full access to the 6-tool AI Career Suite, and unlimited problem matching.

Not right away. We show an anonymous, skills-based profile first. Employers only see your full name, resume, and direct contact info if they choose to unlock your profile for an interview.

We focus on the problems you have actually solved, not just job titles or buzzwords. Vetta uses AI outcome matching to connect your STAR stories and real experience directly to employers' specific challenges.

When you upload your resume, our AI automatically extracts initial STAR drafts. You can refine them in 10 to 20 minutes using the built-in AI STAR Coach Assistant.

We recommend starting with at least 5 to 7 STAR stories. The sweet spot is 10 to 15, especially if you are exploring multifaceted roles. More verified outcomes mean higher matching signal.

No applications needed. Vetta continuously brings aligned opportunities to you based on what you have built and delivered.

That is exactly who Vetta is built for. We highlight your transferable skills and problem-solving ability, not just your tenure or previous company names.

We use verified problem criteria and explainable AI to surface only candidates who have solved similar problems in comparable contexts.

Each profile highlights real, verifiable outcomes through structured STAR statements. You see what they built, the technical constraints they managed, and why it applies to your exact role.

Yes. You can enter structured problem parameters directly, or simply upload any standard PDF/DOCX job description. Our AI automatically extracts the core problem, root causes, and target success metrics.

Yes. Many employers use our problem statement format for internal alignment and headcount justification with finance and leadership teams.

Only you and your team. Problem statements are confidential and never exposed publicly. Candidates only see relevant challenge context.

Candidates set their weekly interview availability in Vetta. When you unlock a candidate, you can select an open slot from their calendar to book an interview directly, complete with integrated video links.

Job boards monetize posting and scrolling volume. Vetta is an outcome marketplace: you define problems, review explainable shortlists, and pay only flat SaaS fees with $0 hiring commissions.

Because it works. STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) communicates verifiable impact, which predicts future job performance far better than titles or keyword density.

No. We use AI to surface the right people based on capability, not reject them. Our goal is to highlight overlooked talent, not filter it out.

There is none. We are building a two-sided marketplace that works for everyone: candidates get evaluated on merit, and companies hire for outcomes without agency markups.

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption and privacy protocols. We never sell your data, and your full identity is only shared when mutual interest is established.

Absolutely. You can delete your account at any time. Your data will be permanently removed from our system.

Never. Only blinded, anonymized profiles are shown initially. Full contact details are only unlocked when an employer expresses interest.
