## Answer

Before you send a resume to a portal, Deep Clean clears metadata and common residue. Pair with the resume PII scanner and compress for size. Job Packet chains several of these steps.

## Limits

- Does not remove visible personal details on the page — use Auto-redact or edit the source.
- ATS prefer selectable text — avoid over-compressing.
