Mads Hatter
About Mads
See hiring the way insiders do.
Most candidates never get a clear look at how hiring decisions are actually made. The Mads Hatter was built to change that.
This tool reviews your resume through the same lens recruiters and hiring managers use every day: helping you understand what stands out, what raises questions, and how to strengthen your story before you enter the process.
Built from real hiring environments, not resume theory.

Experience spans Sui, Polygon, Robinhood, DoorDash, and Yelp, plus advisory work with Instawork, GoPuff, Habitat Company, Swoon, Wonders, Eventbrite, and Exact Data.
LinkedInAfter years inside hiring teams, one thing became clear: many talented people are navigating the job search without visibility into how decisions are actually made.
The Mads Hatter brings together patterns from real hiring environments, from early-career roles to executive searches, so candidates can better understand how their experience is interpreted inside the room.
She is the Founder & CEO of The Mads Hatter and has participated in thousands of resume reviews, interviews, and hiring debriefs where final decisions are made.
