What's in every company brief

Eight sections, generated for the specific company in the job posting.

Company overview

Founded date, headquarters, employee count, company stage and a plain-English description of what they actually do.

Mission and market position

Where the company says it's going, and where it actually sits in its market.

Products and services

Each product with a short description, so you can talk specifically about the one you'd be working on.

Key people

Executives, board members and team leads, each labelled by role, with a one-click LinkedIn search for anyone you're about to meet.

Competitors

Every competitor comes with a written differentiator, so you can answer "who else is in this space?" without guessing.

Company culture

The Glassdoor rating, a summary of what working there is like, and the traits that come up most often.

Growth signals

Hiring trend and the signals behind it, so you know whether you're joining a team that's expanding or holding steady.

Recent news

Dated, linked headlines with summaries, so when you say "I saw you recently announced…" it's actually recent.

How company research works

Add a job

Paste a job description or import a role. FirstResume reads the company name straight from the posting.

Research runs on its own

You don't have to ask. While you're reading the job summary, the brief is already being built. It takes about a minute.

Check the sources

Every brief ships with a source list, each entry dated and linked, so you can verify anything before you repeat it in an interview.

Research you'll actually have done

It happens whether you remember or not

Most people mean to research the company and run out of time the night before. This runs automatically the moment you add the job.

Every claim has a source you can open

Each brief comes with a full source list, with publication dates. It's AI-generated, so check anything you plan to quote — the sources are right there.

Built around the job, not a search box

The brief is generated from the company in your job posting, and feeds the industry straight back into your job summary.

Testimonial

Real results from real applicants.

Company research questions, answered

Is company research free?

Generating a new company brief is part of FirstResume Premium. If a brief has already been generated for an application, you can read it on any plan.

How long does it take?

About a minute. It runs in the background after you add a job, so it's usually ready by the time you've finished reading the job summary.

Where does the information come from?

Public sources on the web. Every brief includes a source list with titles and publication dates, so you can check anything before you rely on it.

How accurate is it?

It's AI-generated, so treat it as a strong starting point rather than a final fact-check. Anything you plan to quote in an interview is worth verifying against the linked sources.

What if the job posting doesn't name a company?

Then FirstResume tells you company research isn't available for that application, rather than inventing a company.
