Most people applying for graduate jobs end up with a browser full of tabs. The job board, the employer's own careers page, a Google Doc with the description pasted in halfway, and three weeks later, when you finally sit down to write the cover letter, you are back on the original page clicking through the cookie banner again to check what the closing date actually was.
That is the problem we built this against. In tiero, you paste a job link in once, and that is the last time you should ever need it.
What it actually reads
When you add an application, tiero goes and fetches the page behind the link. Where the employer's own system has published a proper job description in the page's markup, that is what gets read first, because it is written by the employer's applicant tracking system rather than guessed at. Only where that is missing does anything get asked of a model.
From there it builds what we call the role snapshot: the company name, the job title on its own, the location, the employment type, the salary exactly as advertised (never estimated), and a plain summary of what the role involves and who it suits. It also pulls out the posting's own sections under the posting's own headings, so a graduate scheme and a nursing post do not get forced into the same template with headings that do not apply to either.
If a page loads its content after you land on it and there is nothing there to read, tiero says so and asks you to paste the description in by hand. One paste, not a habit.
The logo is not decoration
When you have six or seven applications open at once, a list of grey cards with company names in small text all starts to look the same. The logo is the fastest way to tell them apart without reading anything.
Here is how it actually finds one. tiero looks at the domain in the link you gave it and asks a public favicon service for that company's mark. Nothing about you or your application gets sent anywhere in the process, and nothing is stored beyond the link itself.
If the link is to a job board rather than the employer's own site, LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed and a long list of others, tiero does not guess. Showing LinkedIn's logo on a card for a job at a bank would be wrong, so it falls back to a plain monogram instead. A correct set of initials beats a wrong logo.
Things to know, not a wall of text
Job postings bury the parts that actually decide whether you apply, the closing date, the shift pattern, whether it wants a security clearance, three paragraphs into copy about the company's mission. tiero pulls those out into a short "Things to know" list, three to six of them, so you see what would change your mind before you read the rest.
You open the tab once
The original description stays underneath, in full, and you can edit it. The link back to the source is always there if you want it. There is a Refresh button for when a role changes. And next to all of it, a line tells you when it was last read, so you know whether what you are looking at is current.
I ended up building this because my brother was rewriting the same paragraph on his phone between train stations, going back to a job page for the fourth time to remember a detail he had already read three times. Once was supposed to be enough. Now it is.
