Built by Someone Who's Been on Both Sides of the Hiring Table

From Tech Leadership to Career Intelligence

I'm Bob Walter — founder of AchieveMate and Red Sand Research. I've spent 15+ years in technology leadership at companies like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Akamai, and CACI. I hold an MBA from Loyola Marymount University and a BS in Computer Science from Cal Poly Pomona.

I've sat on both sides of the hiring table — as a candidate trying to stand out, and as a hiring manager sifting through hundreds of resumes. I know firsthand how the hiring process works, and where it breaks down.

I know how frustrating it is when great resumes get filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems. I've seen brilliant candidates with the right skills get rejected because they didn't use the exact keywords the ATS was programmed to find. That's why we built tools that show you exactly what the ATS is looking for — so you can fix it before you apply.
