The questions people ask.
If yours is not here, write to support@myoverture.xyz and a person will answer.
Staying confidential
You are looking while employed. This is the part that protects that.
How do I keep my employer out of it?
Add them to your excluded companies. That list is checked before anything else runs: before research, before scoring, before anyone is looked up. It is the first name most people add.
What does a company actually see?
The approach you approved, in your own name: the note you read in your Outbox, and the follow-ups it lists, each signed by you. The first note asks them to keep your search discreet. Nothing else about you goes with it unless you add it, such as your LinkedIn profile or a link to your CV.
How do I stop everything right now?
“Pause everything” on Research stops all approaches immediately. Nothing further goes out while it is on, and you do not need a reason.
Your interview
The part that supplies what you actually did, not just where you were.
Is anything used before I have seen it?
No. You review the full transcript and correct anything wrong. Nothing downstream is built until you lock it: not your pitch, not your targets, not your outreach.
Can I edit my answers after locking?
Not directly. Locking is what makes the transcript the record everything else cites. Corrections after that need a new interview, which you can start from the interview page.
I do not want to be recorded.
The interview is spoken, and there is no typed version yet. The microphone is on only while you answer, and you open it yourself on every question. Recording can be switched off in your permissions, which also stops the interview.
How long does it take?
About twenty minutes. It stops at 45 minutes, and never in the middle of an answer.
Targets and outreach
Who gets approached, and what happens when they reply.
Why is this company on my list?
Every target carries its reasoning and the citations behind it: the line in your CV or the moment in your interview that put it there. On Targets, the quote sits under each point, and its source links to the line it came from.
What happens if I reject one?
It is not suggested again. Nothing has been sent to them and nothing will be. If you only want to think about it, leave it pending instead.
Can I nominate a company myself?
Yes. There is a form at the bottom of Targets. Overture finds the right hiring manager and prepares the approach the same way.
Someone replied. What now?
It appears on Outreach and on your dashboard. Nothing more is sent to them while you decide. Answer them from the thread, in your own name, or close the approach.
Your account
I have forgotten my password.
Reset it here with the address on your account, and we email you a link to set a new one. We never ask for your password over email. If the link does not arrive, write to support@myoverture.xyz.
How do I change what Overture is allowed to do?
Every purpose is a separate switch in your consent settings, and you can turn any of them off at any time. Core processing is the only one that is required.
How do I delete my account?
In Settings, Account, use Delete your account. It closes your account and starts removing your data, as set out in the Privacy Policy. If you cannot log in, email privacy@myoverture.xyz.
Nothing here is a substitute for asking. If something about your own search looks wrong, mail support@myoverture.xyz rather than guessing. A confidential search is not the place to find out you were mistaken.
