How it works

Every job is a list of duties. We check each one.

FIG 01

Paste the job

We match your job description to the official list of duties the U.S. Department of Labor keeps for that kind of work, so nothing is guessed or made up.

FIG 02

We check every duty

Can AI do it? Does it get it right? Does the law need a person to sign off? Does someone want a human to deal with? Each answer shows its reasons.

FIG 03

You get a clear answer

How much of the job still needs a person, what AI tools would save once you count the time spent checking their work, and what to put first in the job ad.

Why HumanLens

Straight answers, not AI hype.

We count the time spent checking AI

AI makes mistakes, so someone has to check its work. Legal AI tools got more than 1 in 6 questions wrong in a 2024 Stanford test. Most "AI will save you money" claims leave that time out. We don't.

Updated as AI improves

AI gets better every month, so a score from last year is already out of date. Ours are refreshed on a schedule, and every result says when.

Candidate Lens

Your edge, not your risk.

Your Human Edge score shows how much of your experience is in the parts of a job that still need a person. A short résumé that goes deep on those beats a long one full of work AI already does.

Ground rules

Fair, open and private.

  • We score work, never people. Your name, age, gender, school, photo, location and career gaps are never part of any score.
  • Every number has its reasons. Click any score to see exactly how it was worked out.
  • People decide. HumanLens helps you think it through. It never rejects or ranks anyone on its own.
  • Your résumé isn't kept. Files are read on your own device, and the text is thrown away once it's scored.
  • Nothing hidden. The full method is on the How it works page.
