Hey! Your profile is at 72% — you're leaving matches on the table. Want me to fix that?
Yeah what's missing?
Three things: add numbers to your last two jobs, drop "team player" from your bio, and add React Native to your skills. That bumps your match rate ~40%.
That's specific. On it.

🎖️

Built by a veteran

"I served 10 years and was told
I didn't have enough experience."

Ascend was built by a US Army veteran — 10 years, Infantry and Military Intelligence — who got out and found a civilian hiring system that didn't understand military service. We built Ascend to change that. Veterans deserve better than a black hole application portal.
