About Pathos
Pathos is positioned as a job seeker's agent rather than hiring software sold to employers. According to its description, it finds current roles, tailors resumes from your actual experience, autofills applications and keeps jobs, documents, applications and next steps in one place.
The product also covers interview preparation and keeps emails connected to applications. It states that data from LinkedIn, Google and GitHub accounts is used for nothing beyond sign-in, account security and running the app, and that it does not give employers access to candidates.
