AI Resume Tailoring
Customize your resume for every job in minutes, not hours. Match keywords, highlight relevant experience, and beat ATS systems.
One resume doesn't fit all jobs
You find a perfect job posting, but your generic resume doesn't highlight the right skills. You know you should tailor it, but spending 30+ minutes per application isn't sustainable when you're applying to dozens of jobs.
Our AI analyzes job descriptions and suggests specific changes to your resume — keywords to add, achievements to highlight, and sections to reorder. What used to take 30 minutes now takes 5.
