Why tailor

Recruiters and ATS filters read your CV against one posting

An applicant tracking system ranks CVs by how well they cover the posting's requirements, and a recruiter skims for the same words. A CV written for "any job" loses to one that says the same experience in the language of this job.

Rewriting a CV for every application takes an evening. The editor does the first draft in seconds: it keeps your facts and changes how they are put and in what order.

How it works

From job ad to tailored CV in four steps

Everything happens in the CV editor, next to the live preview, and nothing changes until you accept it.

  1. 1 / 4
    Paste the posting

    Copy the whole job ad, requirements and all, into the "Tailor to a job" section of your CV.

  2. 2 / 4
    See the match

    A score from 0 to 100, the requirements your CV already shows, and the ones it does not.

  3. 3 / 4
    Pick the changes

    A new headline, a profile for this role, experience rewritten with the relevant work first, skills reordered. Tick what you want.

  4. 4 / 4
    Apply or save a copy

    Apply the changes to this CV, or keep them in a copy for this one application and leave your main CV as it is.

What tailoring never does

  • It never adds an employer, a duty, a tool or a result your CV does not already state.
  • Skills the posting wants that your CV lacks are shown separately and added only if you tick them, because you really have them.
  • Where a number would help, it writes [X] for you to fill in, never a made-up figure.
  • Every change is a proposal with a checkbox. Your CV stays exactly as it is until you apply them.

Questions about tailoring your CV

What does it mean to tailor a resume to a job description?

It means rewriting and reordering what your CV already says so the posting's requirements are easy to find: using the employer's words for things you did, putting the most relevant experience first and leading with the skills the job asks for. The facts stay the same.

Will the AI add experience or skills I do not have?

No. It only rewrites what is in your CV. Requirements you do not show are listed separately, and a skill is added only when you tick it yourself. Where a number would make a line stronger it writes [X] for you to fill in.

Should I tailor my CV for every application?

For the jobs you care about, yes. The same experience described in the posting's terms ranks higher in applicant tracking systems and is quicker for a recruiter to recognise. With a tailored copy per application your main CV stays untouched.

How do I find the keywords in a job posting?

Look at the requirements and the tools, qualifications and duties that repeat. The analysis does this for you: it lists which of the posting's requirements your CV already shows and which it does not, most important first.

Does tailoring change my main CV?

Only if you choose "Apply to this CV". You can also save the changes as a separate copy for that application, on the same template, and keep your main CV as it was.

Is tailoring free?

Every account can run one analysis a day and see the match score with the first requirements met and missing. The rewrites, one-click apply and unlimited postings are part of Premium.

Applying to several jobs? A CV builder, a job-match checker and a personal website cost about $90 a month together on their cheapest plans. The Job Search Pack does all of it for $29, paid once, for 30 days: clean PDFs, cover letters, the full ATS check and your own CV website. That is $1.45 per application if you send 20.
