Yes. HireEx is non-commercial, source-available software. You pay only for the LLM API calls you route through your own OpenRouter key. No subscriptions, no accounts, no telemetry.

Does my data leave my machine?

No. HireEx runs in Docker on your laptop. Your resume, positioning, embeddings, scores, and job history all live in a local Postgres with pgvector. The only outbound traffic is the LLM scoring calls you explicitly approve through your OpenRouter key.

What LLM does HireEx use?

Whichever you point it at. HireEx routes through OpenRouter, so you pick the cheap filter model and the strong scoring model yourself — GPT-4o-mini + GPT-4o, Claude Haiku + Sonnet, Llama 3.3 + DeepSeek V3, or any combination OpenRouter exposes.

Do I need an API key?

Yes — a single OpenRouter key. Drop it into the .env during docker compose up and you are set. Local embeddings run via ONNX with no external key needed.

How is HireEx different from JobScan or Huntr?

JobScan and Huntr are cloud SaaS tools that read your resume once and give you a single score per manually-pasted job. HireEx runs locally, hunts jobs for you across boards + company pages + filings, scores every one of them against your profile, and keeps the full audit trail on your disk. It is the agent, the matcher, and the tracker in one docker compose file — not a single-page rewriter.
