Through the Gate support

Last updated 15 September 2026.

Through the Gate shows you the structured record a resume parser builds out of your resume: the fields it keeps, the wording it changes, and the parts of the document that do not become a field at all.

Why your job title was read as something you did not write

Screening software stores a title it can match against other titles, so an unusual one gets normalised on the way in. Where that happened, the record shows both: the wording you used, and the wording it was read as.

This is not an error to report. You are seeing the version of you that gets filed, which is the version nobody ever shows the applicant.

Why parts of my resume are under "What did not survive"

Content that a reader would see can still fail to become a field. Two column layouts, achievements set inside a graphic or a table, and loosely written dates all lose material on the way through extraction. Each item is listed with the reason it did not make it.

The flags above it are separate, and cover four things: a gap between positions, something a parser expected and did not find, something it could read more than one way, and a formatting problem. Where there is something worth changing, the flag says what.

Will this tell me whether I will get the job?

No, and it is built so that it cannot. Every employer runs a different stack, configured differently. What you see is how a competent general parser reads your document. It is not any one company's system, it does not know which company you applied to, and it does not predict whether you will be screened in or out.

Your resume is sent to Anthropic to be read

The parsing is done by a large language model run by Anthropic, not by code on our own machines. When you ask for a parse, the full text you saved is sent to Anthropic's API and the result comes back. A resume is not anonymous: yours almost certainly carries your name, email, phone, where you live and everywhere you have worked, and all of it goes, because a parser that only saw part of it could not tell you what a real one would discard.

If you would rather that did not happen, the sample on our website runs on an invented resume, needs no account, and shows the same screen.

The application tracker

You can record a company, a role and the date you applied, and move it through applied, screening, interview, offer, rejected, or no reply. Anything still marked applied after thirty days is flagged as having had no reply in a month. That is a count of days, not an opinion about the employer or the posting.

Parses and subscription

The first parse is free, and then parsing is a subscription. It is counted rather than timed, because this app delivers its value on the first parse rather than over a fortnight. The current price is on the purchase screen inside the app, which reads it from the App Store for your country.

Managing, cancelling and refunds

A subscription bought through the App Store is managed on your device: Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal and leaves the current period running to its end. We cannot cancel it for you. If you reinstall or change device, use Restore purchase. Apple is the merchant of record, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Your data

There is no password; signing in is a code sent to your email address. Stored: your email, how many parses you have run, every resume you saved as the complete text you pasted, every parse, and any applications you tracked. There is no recruiter view, no employer access and no sharing feature.

Deleting your account from the Account tab removes your profile, every resume, every parse and every tracked application, immediately and permanently, so copy out anything you want to keep first. The full policy is at carrierpress.com/throughthegate/privacy.

One person reads that, so a reply may take a few days.
