Never waste an evening on a ghost job
Some postings were never going to be filled. Longbow tracks every listing's real history — when it first appeared, how long it's been open, whether it expired and quietly came back — and flags the ghosts before you invest a night in one.
Posting history · repost detectionTry the free checkerPractice out loud, not in your head
Run a real mock interview by voice or text, in two modes: a Warm-Up that walks your prepped questions at your pace, and a Hot Seat that remixes them and pushes back. Get scored, get a debrief, go again.
Pro · Warm-Up + Hot Seat modesLand it — then get paid
When the offer comes, Robin pulls live salary data for your role and city and writes you a negotiation script — word for word — so you don't leave money on the table.
Live salary data + scriptsThe difference
Most tools give you advice. Longbow knows what works.
Other tools hand you something and walk away — a tip, a task, a tidier list. Longbow runs your search and gets sharper every step, because it learns from real outcomes: what actually lands offers for people doing what you're doing.
Chatbots
Give you advice
ChatGPT and the rest hand you generic tips and wish you luck. Good advice, no idea if it works for this company, this role, this round. You're still doing all the work, just with a confident-sounding starting point.
Resume tools
Do you one task
Resume builders fix your resume. Interview apps drill you on questions. Each does its one thing and stops. You're left stitching five tools together and hoping they add up to a strategy.
Trackers
Organize your work
Job trackers give you a tidy spreadsheet of everything you still have to figure out yourself. Organization isn't help. A nicer to-do list is still a to-do list.
Longbow
Knows what works
Longbow learns from every interview that runs through it: which strategies land offers, which answers fall flat, how specific companies actually hire. That intelligence compounds. The advice you get isn't a guess, it's what's worked for people in your exact situation.
Meet Robin
Your career coach, not a chatbot.
Robin lives inside Longbow and knows your whole search — your resume, every job you're chasing, every answer you've practiced, and how each one turned out. Ask anything. The answers come from your situation and the specific role in front of you — never a generic script.
Meet Robin freeI have a final round at Stripe on Thursday. What should I focus on?
Robin
You're strong on the product side — that's not where this round is won. Stripe will dig into how you reason about trade-offs under ambiguity. Let's rehearse the payments-scale story you told me last week; it's your sharpest example, and it answers the question they actually care about.
What about the system design round? That's the part I keep stumbling on.
Robin
It's the round you've reworked twice — and your last two practice sessions scored higher because you scoped the problem before solving it. Keep doing exactly that: say your assumptions out loud, set the boundaries, then go deep on one piece. Stripe rewards depth over breadth.
Anything smart to ask them at the end?
Robin
Ask the hiring manager what "great" looks like in the first 90 days. It shows you're already thinking about delivering, and their answer tells you whether their expectations match what you want. You used a version of that line in your last final round, and it landed well.
Three days later
Just got the rejection from Stripe. Gutted.
Robin
That one stings — Stripe runs a tough process. Let me look at how we prepped it. You went deep on the behavioral side, which was the right call for them. Where I'd put our energy next time: you moved through the company-research section fast, and for Stripe the "why us" answer usually decides the first round. I can't tell you why they passed — could be a dozen things I can't see. But that's the gap I'd close. Want to set the next one up differently?
Why Robin can say that: it can see how you actually moved through your prep — which sections you rushed, which answers landed in practice — and it learns from real outcomes. So the next setup is built on what works, not a generic script.

Common questions
Questions, answered.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers whatever you ask and forgets you the moment you close the tab. Longbow is built around your actual search: it pulls real intelligence on the company you're interviewing with, tailors everything to the specific role, and remembers your history so the advice gets better over time. ChatGPT is a blank box. Longbow is a coach who knows your situation.
What do I actually get when I paste a job posting?
A complete prep package: real intelligence on the company, your strongest talking points for that specific role, the questions you're likely to face with answers built around your background, and practice you can do out loud. Not a checklist of things to go figure out. The actual work, done.
Is this only for people with an interview already lined up?
No. Longbow works whether you've got an interview Friday, a posting you're about to apply to, or you're stuck getting no callbacks at all. Tell it where you are and it adapts. The less you've got figured out, the more it does for you.
Does Longbow auto-apply to jobs for me?
No, and on purpose. Auto-applying to hundreds of jobs is how you get ignored by hundreds of jobs. Longbow finds roles worth your time, including ones that aren't on the big boards, and gets you ready to win them. You stay in control of where you apply. We make sure that when you do, you're the strongest candidate in the stack.
Will I lose my work if I cancel Pro?
Nothing gets deleted. Canceling Pro drops you to the free plan: your jobs, prep history, and saved work stay put, your Pro documents pause to previews, and all of it comes back the moment you reactivate. We're not going to hold your career hostage.
Do I need to pay to try it?
No. Paste a job posting and get a real prep package free, no card required. Free gives you a genuine taste: enough to see exactly what Longbow does before you decide whether the depth is worth $37 a month. Most tools make you pay to find out if they're any good. We'd rather show you.
Checking us out before you sign up? Fair. Is Longbow legit? is our own honest answer, limitations included, and about us says who is behind it.
