Sortie
For veterans

Your service record, written for civilian hiring managers

Sortie builds one master record from your resumes and military evaluations, then tailors a civilian resume for each job you choose. Every line traces back to your own record, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

Start from what you already have

Upload your old resumes and military evaluations, and Sortie pulls the facts into a single master record: roles, dates, scope, training, awards and results. You review and correct it once. From then on, every resume, cover letter and LinkedIn draft starts from that record instead of a blank page, so you are not rewriting the same history for every application.

Translate the jargon, keep the truth

The MOS translator turns military job codes and duties into plain civilian language and suggests job titles that fit your actual scope. Tailoring is truth-checked: each line has to trace back to something in your record, and numbers that are not in your record are removed. You get a resume a recruiter can read in seconds, without claims you would have to walk back in an interview.

Find jobs and stay in control

Sortie brings daily job matches from USAJOBS and public company career pages. When a match looks right, it drafts a tailored application and puts it in your approve queue. You read it, edit it and approve it, or skip it. Nothing is sent without your approval, and the tracker keeps every application, status and follow-up in one place.

Questions

Does Sortie apply to jobs for me?

Yes. Sortie tailors your resume, drafts a cover letter if you want one, and submits the application for you, either after you review it or in one tap with Apply for me. If a site needs a human step, like a captcha, we hand it back to you. Nothing is submitted without your approval.

Will it make up accomplishments or numbers?

No. Tailoring is truth-checked against your master record. Every line has to trace back to your own record, and numbers that are not in it are removed.

Can I use it for federal jobs too?

Yes. Sortie includes a Federal template, live federal job search and saved daily alerts. Confirm veterans' preference and hiring path rules with OPM or USAJOBS, since they can change.

Is Sortie affiliated with the VA or DoD?

No. Sortie is an independent tool and is not affiliated with the VA, DoD or OPM.

Sortie is not operated, sponsored or endorsed by OPM, the VA or the Department of Defense.
