You’re more than a résumé. Finally, a place that sees it.
Every other platform reads your work history and ranks you. Top Applicant sees the whole person — your work style, your values, and how you show up when it counts — and matches you with employers who are actually looking for that.
Always free to build your profile and get discovered.
We help you get hired for who you actually are — matched to employers on positive attributes, values, and fit, not just the keywords on your résumé.

Four ways Top Applicant puts the whole you in front of the right employers — not just your work history.
Be seen as a person, not a résumé
Four-Dimensional (4D) Profile – Your résumé says what you’ve done. Your 4D profile shows who you are — work history, portfolio, values, and a Bruder Index assessment readout, all in one place.
Know what makes you, you
The Bruder Index – Take it once and get an honest read on your real strengths — how you carry a load, handle pressure, lead, and get things done. It’s yours to learn from, and it shows employers what a résumé can’t.
Get discovered before you even apply
Get Discovered & Invited (free) – Employers can find your profile and invite you to apply — even for roles you haven’t seen yet. The best opportunities come to you. Free for everyone.
Find the roles you actually fit
Job Matching ($7.99/mo) – Skip the endless scroll. Matching surfaces the roles you’re genuinely compatible with — based on your whole profile, not just keywords — so you spend your energy where it counts.
Supporting Features:
A professional network without the noise
Connect, message, and post in a closed, ad-free, professionally moderated feed. No ads, no algorithm bait, no politics — just people building careers.
Every application in one place
Track where you stand with each role — active, evaluating, moving forward, or closed — so you’re never left guessing. Free.
Show your best side
See which employers viewed you, and boost your profile for roles you already match — real visibility, not blind promotion. ($7.99/mo)
Take it anywhere
Search, apply, and message from the Top Applicant app for iOS and Android.
The Bruder Index scores four dimensions:
Leadership Index
How you lead and lift the people around you.
Carry Factor
How much you can juggle at once without dropping the ball.
Pressure-Shedding
How you stay steady and effective when things get hard.
Power Factor
Your drive to push through and finish what you start.
Take it once. It’s yours — and it tells employers what a résumé leaves out.

Contact Us
Is Top Applicant free for job seekers?
Yes. Building a full profile, taking the Bruder Index, searching and applying to jobs, and getting discovered by employers are all free — no card, no catch. Matching and extra visibility are $7.99/month if you want them.
What is the Bruder Index?
It’s a work-based personality assessment built into your profile. It scores four dimensions — Carry Factor (how much you can juggle at once), Pressure Shedding Index (how you handle stress), Leadership Index (how you lead and lift others), and Power Factor (your drive to finish) — so employers see strengths a résumé can’t show. You take it once.
Is the Bruder Index scientifically proven?
It’s practitioner-built and field-validated. It was developed from 30+ years of real hiring experience and tested against hundreds of real employees in real jobs — using their known outcomes to confirm it delivers reliable, repeatable results. It isn’t an academic or peer-reviewed instrument, and it isn’t a personality-type quiz: it measures character and resilience in the context of work.
Can I hide my Bruder Index score?
You control whether your score appears on your public profile. Employers always see it when you formally apply to their role — but casual browsers won’t unless you choose to show it.
What is a four-dimensional (4D) profile?
It’s a profile that goes beyond the résumé — combining your work history and skills, portfolio media, values and work style, and the Bruder Index into one picture of who you are.
Can employers find me before I apply?
Yes, and it’s free. Employers can discover your profile and invite you to apply — even for roles you haven’t seen yet. The best opportunities can come to you.
Do I have to pay to be seen?
No. Getting discovered and invited by employers is free for everyone. A paid boost adds visibility — but only for roles you already match, so it’s honest visibility, not blind promotion.
How does job matching work?
Matching surfaces the roles you’re genuinely compatible with, based on your whole profile — not just keywords. It’s part of the $7.99/month plan; free members can search and filter manually.
What’s included in the $7.99/mo plan?
AI job matching, a profile boost for roles you already match, who-viewed-your-profile analytics, and organization matching to find companies that fit — not just jobs.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can create your profile and start applying without entering any payment details. You only pay if you choose to upgrade.
