NorthPulsar

Find your north on the interview loop. Behavioral preparation that works from your own experience, not from a script somebody else wrote.

The NorthPulsar home screen, showing readiness for the active job and which competencies are covered

Most people walk into a behavioral loop with good stories and no way to find them under pressure. NorthPulsar turns your resume into a scored story bank, shows you which competencies you cannot evidence yet, and drills retrieval until the right story arrives before you need it.

The iPhone app

NorthPulsar for iPhone turns your own history into a story bank you can actually reach for in the room, then walks the loop with you from the recruiter screen to the offer call.

The story bank, each story scored and tagged with the competency it carries

Build the bank

Import your resume and NorthPulsar drafts each achievement into a STAR story, scores how strong it is, and shows which competencies you have no evidence for yet. Drafting runs on the phone with Apple Intelligence, and it moves your own words into place rather than inventing an achievement you did not have. You can type or speak every field.

A mock question with the clock running on how long it takes to find a story

Practice under pressure

Mocks ask one question at a time. Type or record an answer, and the app times how long you took to find the story, then tells you which signals held up and which did not. Every mock is kept, so the next one is measured against the last.

The Jobs tab, with every role being pursued and one marked active

Run the loop

Add every job you are going for and mark one active. Each job carries its posting, its pay band and its rounds. Log the status of each round with your notes or a call transcript, and the app reads the trend toward an offer or a rejection.

A single job opened to its rounds, each with its status and the trend read off them

Land it

A rejection becomes a debrief of what held up and what did not, so the next loop starts further along. An offer becomes a plan: where the number sits in the range, what to lead with, what to negotiate and in what order, and what to say on the call.

Nothing leaves your phone

There is no account and no sign in. Your stories, your resume, your practice history and your offer numbers are stored in the app's own container on your device and are never sent to a server. Drafting runs on the phone using Apple Intelligence where the device supports it.

The one exception, and only when you ask for it: if you paste a link to a job posting, the app fetches that page once so it can read the posting. Paste the text instead and no request is made at all. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Who builds it

NorthPulsar is built by a former Amazon Bar Raiser, the interviewer brought into hiring loops specifically to judge whether a candidate is ready, with the final say on more than 200 engineering hires in that role.

Outside the loop, that work has meant mentoring more than 500 people into new roles directly, and over 700 more through programs including ADP and Breakthrough Tech. The day job is running engineering for a content platform used by millions.

The app is that loop, run from the other side of the table, put in your pocket.

The builder stays unnamed on purpose. Everything here goes through info@northpulsar.com.
