For Job Seekers
Be seen for who you are – starting with your free resume
The job search can feel overwhelming. Applications disappear. Experience gets reduced to keywords. And the qualities that make you who you are are often overlooked.
TruTalent® gives you one place to build your resume, manage your information, and apply for opportunities. When employers use TruTalent, they evaluate candidates using education, experience, skills, and TruTalents®—the strengths and abilities that contribute to success on the job. By completing the TruTalent assessment, you can showcase strengths and abilities that may not be fully reflected on a resume alone, helping employers gain a more complete understanding of your fit for the role.

What are TruTalents and why are they important?
TruTalents are the personal traits and working styles that shape how you show up—things like communication, adaptability, problem-solving, collaboration, and how you handle pressure. They matter because two people can have identical resumes yet perform very differently in the same role. A hiring manager might describe this as “cultural fit” or “potential,” but what they’re really sensing is whether your natural working style aligns with what the team needs. TruTalents often predict long-term success better than hard skills do, because technical knowledge can be taught—but how someone thinks, connects with others, and navigates challenges is harder to change. The TruTalent assessment is specifically designed to surface these through your TruTalents profile, giving employers a clearer picture of the person behind the resume.
Can TruTalent help with creating or updating my resume?
Yes—and it goes beyond a basic template. TruTalent lets you upload an existing resume or build one from scratch using guided tools. You can choose from professional layouts, control the level of detail, and save multiple versions tailored to different types of roles. All resumes are built to be ATS-friendly (applicant tracking system), which matters a lot — many applications are filtered by software before a human ever reads them. If your current resume isn’t getting traction, having an ATS-optimized version alone can make a real difference.
What makes TruTalent different from other platforms for job seekers and career builders?
Most job platforms treat you as a collection of keywords. TruTalent is trying to do something more honest: show employers who you actually are. The combination of a skills-based portfolio (your MyData Portfolio), a workplace traits assessment (TruTalents), and a job search tool in one place means you’re not just submitting a document—you’re presenting a fuller picture. For employers, that means better matching from the start. For you, it means being considered for roles where you’re more likely to thrive, not just qualify on paper.
Do employers still require cover letters? Can TruTalent help me make one?
Many do—especially for roles where communication skills, motivation, or fit with the team matter. A cover letter is often your first chance to speak in your own voice, and when it’s done well, it can be the thing that gets you an interview when two candidates look equally good on paper. TruTalent helps you create personalized cover letters quickly, so you’re not staring at a blank page for every application. The goal is something that sounds like you, not a generic template—tailored to each role you’re going after.
What information is required to get started?
The starting point is simple: just your resume, or the basics you’d put on one—work history, education, skills, and credentials. From there, you build your MyData Portfolio, which becomes the foundation for everything else on the platform. You don’t need to have everything polished before you begin. TruTalent is designed to let you start where you are and build from there.
What does MyData Portfolio show me?
Think of it as your professional home base. It brings together your skills, work history, education, credentials, and your TruTalents insights. It’s the full picture of who you are professionally, all in one secure place. Rather than re-entering your information every time you apply somewhere, your portfolio comes with you.
What are my actual "strengths" and how do I prove them?
Your strengths are a mix of what you’re naturally good at (abilities), how you’re wired to work (workplace traits), and what you’ve done in practice (experience). The TruTalent assessment is designed to help you identify and articulate the first two—the traits and thinking styles that may have always been there but that you haven’t had language for.
I have no idea what I want to do. Where do I even start?
Start with the assessment, not the job listings. If you don’t know what direction you’re heading, browsing open roles can feel overwhelming and random. The TruTalent assessment is designed to uncover how you naturally think, work, and contribute. Once you have a clearer sense of your strengths and working style, the job search becomes less about “what’s available” and more about “what actually fits me.” That’s a much better place to start.
