A tool that tells you not to apply is only worth listening to if you know who set the rules. So here they are, and here is the person who set them.
Fourteen years at the North Texas Food Bank, then Crossroads Community Services, the San Antonio Food Bank and Meals on Wheels Central Texas. Federal program compliance, CACFP and SFSP and TEFAP. Disaster response. Multi site operations, which mostly means being responsible for whether a thing that has to happen every day actually happens every day.
Which is to say: two decades of sitting on both sides of a hiring table in this sector. Reading the postings. Writing some of them. Watching good candidates get filtered out by a scanner and watching organizations repost a role they had no budget to fill.
In 2026 I ran my own search, and every tool I tried was built to help me apply to more things faster. That is the opposite of what the search needed.
Decide runs six gates before it scores anything, and the order they run in is not arbitrary. It checks whether the job is real before it checks whether you fit, because a posting that has been up since March is not a decision you need to agonize over.
That order comes from watching how these postings actually behave, not from a product spec.
Every funded competitor measures success in volume and conversion. More applications, faster, with the resume rewritten automatically and the form filled in for you.
Postcheck does the reverse. It puts gates in front of the application so that fewer of them happen and each one is worth the evening it costs. Decide to apply rate is a number this tool can show you and a funnel cannot, because inside a funnel, choosing not to apply is a failure.
Apply checks a document against a posting line by line and tells you what is missing. It will not invent experience or write a claim you cannot back in the room.
A filler that is right seven times in ten costs more to proofread than it saves. What is actually slow is the same eight questions on every form, so those get written once and kept.
No ATS score. No match percentage it cannot show its work for. Every figure on the screen comes from something you entered or something the posting said.
There is no account, no list, no card, and nothing to buy. The download is the delivery. There is no server to send it to even if I wanted one.
I run a fractional COO practice for nonprofits in the one million to ten million range. Operations, federal compliance, the systems that decide whether a program runs or limps. That work is at wendlingconsulting.com, and it is a separate thing from this.
Postcheck is not a lead magnet. There is no call to book and no form to fill in, here or anywhere in the app. I built it while running my own search, it costs nothing to keep running, and it stays free.
