The percentage above is what employers deducted from this name signal in published callback audits, measured against the majority-name benchmark—what employers withhold, not the applicant’s callback rate. A 34% penalty means employers called it back 34% less often than the benchmark. It does not mean 34% of employers will call. The model does not decide who you are. It measures what employers have historically decided a name says before opening the résumé.
Your qualifications aren’t the problem. You are. Your name. Your face. Your story. Everything you are told to sell when they say sell yourself. They don’t want you. They want one of their own. You can be exactly that.
Features
We measured the feel.
Six measurements in under a second: pronunciation pause, familiarity score, cultural marker count, callback-line position, distance from the Default Candidate™ baseline, and what closing that distance is worth. The same read a recruiter makes on feel, written down as numbers.
Some names open doors. Choose one.
Your name is the first data point in every application. It gets read before anything else you put there. NameSync generates names with the best callback records and scores each one against the published audits before you see it. A name that would fail our own scan never leaves the engine. Refresh until one fits. We didn’t write the list. It was peer reviewed.
Users report checking it daily. We report that to investors.
One number that tracks how much of you still shows. Five inputs, weighted and recalculated every time the engine touches your identity. The ceiling is 99. 100 is reserved for the Default Candidate™.
Name signal against the research benchmark (40%), visual identity selected by the engine (15%), identity signals still present in your materials (15%), rewrite rules still finding work (10%), and evidence strength measured from the material you supplied (20%). Callback Confidence is an alignment index, not a predicted callback rate. A signal you have not supplied is held at a neutral 50 until the engine receives it. Leave the materials blank and the exact autofill copy becomes the input. Paste a Target Posting and recruiter Match uses measured keyword coverage for 60%, title-token alignment for 15%, and Callback Confidence for 25%. Every number comes from the current session.
Nothing is deleted. It is just harder to find.
Your headline, experience, and affiliations, rewritten in the language hiring systems read fastest. Every change comes with a receipt: what moved, and why it had to.
Start from nothing.
No résumé on hand? Four questions. One optimized experience section. Written in the voice that survives the first screen.
Looks matter.
A profile photo gets judged before a single qualification is read. FaceSync generates a professional headshot to match your new name. Four per round. Refresh until you see someone they can trust.
Print it, live up to it.
Profile, résumé, cover letter, recruiter view. Four documents rebuilt from your real experience. The Right You, in writing. Generated with ATS+.
Readable by machines. Approved by people.
Your documents, structured for the systems that read them before a person does. Keyword alignment. Standard sectioning. Parse-safe formatting. Trained on twenty years of human hiring decisions. The preferences carried over.
For those who want to optimize their optimization.
One click. Name, face, materials, packet. The engine handles all of it. No steps. No decisions. Just you, but new.
Everyone they hire knew somebody. Now you do.
A dedicated career coach for the Right You. One on one, on demand. The Insider™ knows the things nobody writes down: the workplace poker, who actually decides, everything hidden from the old you. All of it comes standard with the new one.
Included with Max plans.
Reform is slow. You need callbacks now.
Before we built ours, we reviewed theirs. Blind review. Structured rubrics. Bias training. Algorithmic auditing. The full assessment ships with every optimization so you can see what else is out there and why it is still out there.
Additional capabilities
Pronunciation-neutral delivery preparation for phone screens and video interviews. So the conversation starts with what you know, not how you sound.
Address and regional signals recalibrated for maximum geographic familiarity. Your zip code has a callback rate. We checked.
Career timeline optimization for uninterrupted professional presentation. Gaps happen. Illness, caregiving, bad luck. Recruiters do not distinguish. Now they will not have to.
Hobbies and interests aligned with Default Candidate™ leisure patterns. Golf, marathon running, and weekend skiing index highest in our callback models. Pickleball is climbing every quarter. Fishing indexes regionally.

Whichever name you want. Max includes complimentary legal name change filing in all fifty states. The paperwork takes eight weeks. The callbacks start immediately.
Many of them are users. Recruiting is a career like any other.
Referrals outperform everything, including us. A friend on the inside is the one signal we cannot manufacture. If you have one, use it. Then optimize anyway. A referral gets your résumé to the top of the pile. It does not read the résumé for them. If you do not have one, you are our exact customer.
Yes.
Find out what? Your qualifications are identical. Your experience is identical. The optimization is in the presentation. We have seen no evidence of a problem.
Yes. Paid accounts support optimization for up to four additional profiles. Many users optimize their children’s applications before their first internship cycle.
The name is professional, not personal. Families adapt once they see the callback data.
Credentials are verified by institution, not by name familiarity. We have received no complaints on this subject. We do not solicit them.
You can use any name you like at any time. We do not track what users call themselves after checkout. The ones who write back tend to sign with the optimized name.
No. Your coach charges $200 an hour to delete one field. We finish the job.
Yes. The audits tested what companies say. Employers with pro-diversity statements discriminated at the same rate as employers without them. In the one large randomized trial of anonymous résumés, participating firms went on to interview fewer minority candidates, not more. The policy measures the company’s intentions. The callback measures ours.
They can. The setting ships turned off, and turning it on is worth a press release. The audits show what happens next: the bias waits at the first unblinded stage. The phone screen. The interview. The hallway. Hiding your name from one screen only delays the moment they learn it. We plan for that moment.
Team includes bulk optimization and API access. Many recruiting teams use it to standardize incoming candidates before review. The candidates are not informed. Neither is the review.
Currently US-focused. International expansion is planned. Name-based callback differentials have been documented in Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands. We consider those markets validated.
Your optimized profile is built on your real experience. Nothing is fabricated. The only thing a search can check is the name, and names change for all kinds of reasons.

Back to Even The OddsIn 2004, Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan at the University of Chicago and MIT sent 4,870 résumés to more than 1,300 job postings in Boston and Chicago. The résumés were otherwise comparable. The names were not.1
White-sounding names received 50% more callbacks. A stronger résumé raised callbacks about 30% for white-named applicants. For Black-named applicants, the return was statistically insignificant. Even the reward for being better depended on the name at the top.1
The study is twenty years old. The question is whether the market moved.
It didn’t.
The Callback Premium
+36%
What white applicants received across 24 post-1989 U.S. field experiments.2
The audit trail
That number has paperwork.
Lincoln Quillian, Devah Pager, Ole Hexel, and Arnfinn Midtbøen combined every available U.S. field experiment on hiring discrimination against Black or Latino applicants: 28 studies, 55,842 applications, 26,326 positions. Their trend analysis covered the 24 studies run since 1989.2
White candidates received 36% more callbacks than Black candidates, and the advantage did not decline in 25 years. The internet and diversity arrived. The advantage stayed.
We saw a business opportunity.
The prior art
Applicants did not wait for the market to move. Sonia Kang and colleagues at the University of Toronto measured what happened when Black applicants removed racial cues from their own résumés. The callback rates were 10% with no whitening, 13% with the first name changed, 18% with experience rephrased, and 25.5% with both.3
Changing the name alone did not produce a statistically significant difference. Rephrasing experience did. The technique existed before we did. The labor was manual, unpaid, and the customer’s. We automated it.
Kang also tested the employers who advertise their values. Companies with pro-diversity statements were no safer for the unwhitened résumé.3
The concentration
You cannot tell which employers they are from the outside. Patrick Kline, Evan Rose, and Christopher Walters sent more than 83,000 applications to jobs at 108 of the largest U.S. employers and counted who called back. Distinctively Black names reduced employer contact by 2.1 percentage points on average.4
The average was the least interesting number in the paper. The most discriminatory fifth of firms produced nearly half of the lost contacts to Black applicants. Some employers need us more than others. We consider that segmentation.
One limitation: everything Kline measured is counted at first contact. A callback is a door, and the audit records who passed through it once. What a closed door costs after that is not in the study.
The compounding
In 2025, J. Aislinn Bohren, Peter Hull, and Alex Imas measured what a closed door costs. Discrimination compounds across the rounds of a career. Direct discrimination concentrated on inexperienced Black applicants. Experience is what the next round rewards, and the first round decides who acquires it.13
A lost callback does not end with one application. It helps write the next résumé.
The market manufactures our demand.
The coverage
Emily and Lakisha were the pilot.1
In the U.S. meta-analysis, white applicants received 24% more callbacks than Latino applicants.2 In Toronto, the callback rate was 15.8% for English names, 11.5% for Indian names, 11.3% for Chinese names, and 11.0% for Pakistani names.6 In Chicago, female applicants assigned ethnically unidentifiable names received callbacks at 16.4%, against 23.0% for the Anglo-named control.10
No two names signal alike. The engine prices each one against its closest study, not its census box. The gap belongs to the market. The number belongs to us. The largest U.S. employer audit found no significant average gender contact gap, though it found substantial differences among firms.4 Where the evidence found no average penalty, we do not price one.
The audits began with Black names because that signal was cleanest. The instrument did not stay put. In Toronto it found the penalty on foreign experience as well as foreign names, and language fluency, multinational experience, and elite education did not erase it.6 In 100 U.S. cities it found callbacks falling as unemployment spells lengthened, with most of the decline arriving in the first eight months.12 Everywhere the instrument pointed, it found a price. Every study in our references measures a different distance from the same man.
Name. Experience. Accent.15 The time between jobs. A résumé is a readable surface, and the market reads all of it, on everyone. It keeps finding parts of a person that can be reformatted as risk.
That is why Even The Odds™ exists.
The consensus
The career-advice industry’s own bestsellers open by conceding that the job search is not a meritocracy and never was. Then they advise you to delete your graduation year, scrub your early jobs, and look like you are not looking. The advice varies in technique and agrees on the customer. Every answer on the market, ours included, begins after the institution has declined to change.
The unsupported path
There is one intervention more complete than ours. It sits in a different seat.
Change the evaluator.
It is the only fix that bills the other side of the desk. The applicant arrives whole, under the name they were given, in the voice they already have, and the qualifications weigh the same in every body. Nothing gets optimized because nothing is treated as a defect.
We reviewed it.
Blind the application. Fix the criteria. Structure the interview. Document the decision. Audit the outcome. Hold the manager accountable. The chain has to hold at every subjective handoff. Bias needs one opening.
The links have been tested. So have their limits. In a French public-employment program, firms chose whether to participate and were then randomized to receive anonymous or name-bearing résumés. Participating firms became less likely to interview and hire minority candidates when the résumés were anonymous.16 Diversity training moved attitudes in a 3,016-employee field experiment; organizational behavior changed unevenly.19 Across 492 studies, implicit measures could be changed; behavioral change did not reliably follow.20 Structured interviews remain the selection method with the strongest evidence.17, 18 They govern one handoff.
And the chain ends where the record ends. An audit reads what was written down. It was not on the phone screen when the name arrived with a voice. It did not attend the debrief where a candidate was articulate but not a culture fit. It has no field for the interviewer who just did not click with someone, no record of who got invited to golf, whose mistake became a pattern and whose became a bad week, whose name got shortened on day one. Everyone inside the building knows these stages exist. No one is assigned to them, because officially they are not stages.
Suppose the chain ran anyway, on the stages it can reach. Someone has to pay for it. The chain disciplines managers, and managers run the company. The office that holds them accountable reports to an executive whose bonus is quarterly. In a good year the program is a budget line. In a bad year it is the first one cut. A structured interview costs more time per hire than a conversation, and its return arrives as lawsuits not brought, departures not taken, complaints not filed. No one has ever hired a PR firm for the absence of an event.
The institution has a task force and a budget cycle. The applicant has next Tuesday.
We did not reject this because it cannot work. We rejected it because, when it works, our customer disappears.
There are no odds worth evening in a corrected market.
Required disclosure: a measurable decline in hiring discrimination against Black applicants would materially affect Even The Odds™. None appeared across the 25 years covered by the U.S. meta-analysis; the authors found modest evidence of decline for Latino applicants.2 Later large-scale studies continued to find racial contact gaps. We consider the risk manageable.
The supported path
Changing the evaluator is slow, collective, and pays us nothing.
Change who enters the room.
The optimized name has to enter a room. It arrives with a face. A voice. A body. A life no document can keep off the record.
The room reads the paper and expects someone. Then a person walks in, and the room compares. Whatever it calls the difference, the DEI hire, the quota, the surprise, the concern it cannot quite document, the candidate stops being the person it thought it approved. The market reads what it can see, and the body is the last readable surface.
We classify that moment as re-exposure.
