Tailor Your Resume to Any Job Description

Upload or select your CV, paste a job description, and get a transparent score out of 100 with every requirement, gap and recommendation explained. It never invents credentials, and it never guarantees an interview.

01

Requirement extraction

Required and preferred qualifications, tools, skills and responsibilities are pulled from the job description.

02

Evidence mapping

Each requirement is matched to evidence in your resume: strong, partial, not demonstrated, or requires clarification.

03

Score out of 100

Five weighted categories that always total 100: required skills 30, experience 30, qualifications 15, preferred 15, terminology 10 (re-weighted when a category is absent).

04

Tailored draft

Rewritten summary and bullets using only your facts. You accept, reject or edit each change.

05

Cover letter & interview prep

Optional, based on the same verified information, within your plan's limits.

Your data: when you run an analysis, your resume content without contact details and the job description are sent to our AI provider for processing. You must give consent before the first analysis. Your master resume is never changed automatically.

Why tailoring matters

Recruiters and applicant tracking systems look for evidence of specific requirements. A resume that clearly shows the skills and experience a job asks for is easier to shortlist than a generic one, even when the experience behind both is the same.

How to tailor a resume step by step

  1. Step 1

    Read the job description closely

    List the required skills, tools, qualifications and responsibilities, and separate must-haves from nice-to-haves.

  2. Step 2

    Map your evidence

    For each requirement, find a role, project or achievement that proves it. Note gaps honestly.

  3. Step 3

    Rewrite the summary

    Lead with the experience most relevant to this role, in two to four sentences.

  4. Step 4

    Reorder and refine bullets

    Move the most relevant achievements up and use the employer's terminology where it accurately describes your work.

  5. Step 5

    Check the result

    Re-score the match and read the result as a recruiter would.

Frequently asked questions

Is tailoring a resume dishonest?

No. Tailoring is choosing which true experience to emphasise and describing it in the employer's language. Adding skills you do not have is not tailoring.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes per job once your main resume is complete.

Is resume tailoring free?

Analysis and editing are free. Downloading the tailored resume needs a paid plan.
