HireSignal — Competitor Hiring Tracker

What this extension can (and can't) do

Chrome extensions run inside your browser. They can read and modify the pages you actively visit — nothing on your computer beyond the browser tab. The manifest.json declares exactly which permissions the extension asks for, and Chrome asks you to approve them at install time. You can review any extension's permissions before installing under Details in chrome://extensions.

HireSignal — Competitor Hiring Tracker runs locally in your browser. It does not send your browsing history to a server, does not sync data to a CYZOR account (there's no account), and cannot see anything outside the tabs it's actively working on. Uninstalling removes both the extension and every setting it stored — Chrome handles the cleanup, nothing lingers on our side.

If the sideload install fails

Most sideload errors come from one of three things:

• You picked the ZIP instead of the unzipped folder. Chrome loads a folder, not a ZIP. Unzip first, then point Chrome at the resulting folder that contains manifest.json.
• Developer mode is off. Toggle it in the top-right corner of chrome://extensions — the Load unpacked button only appears when it's on.
• Your organization's Chrome policy blocks sideloading. Some managed Chrome installs (work laptops) disable Developer Mode. In that case, install from the Chrome Web Store instead when the listing goes live.

Free forever — the trade behind that

This extension is free with no upsell path. That's possible because it runs on your machine, uses your browser, and costs us nothing to serve after we published it. No cloud infrastructure to fund, no per-user cost. We monetize elsewhere on the site (paid printables, done-for-you services, the AI receptionist) — this extension isn't a lead magnet or a stealth upsell.
