Resume tailoring

A resume rewritten for the job,
from things you actually did.

Import your resume once and it becomes a Career Profile. For any posting, the resume is rewritten from that profile in your voice, with a log of every line it changed and every line it refused to write.

Tailoring for Senior Frontend Engineer · StripeDemo · sample profileReading the posting…
Requirements found in the posting
ReactTypeScriptGraphQLKubernetesDesign systems
“Built web apps for internal teams”“evidence Posting names React and TypeScript. Both are in your profile with evidence: the Acme dashboard, 2023.
“Worked on APIs”“bridge Posting asks for GraphQL. Your nearest real evidence is REST — bridged and labelled. GraphQL itself is not claimed, and the score does not move for it.
Refused, on purpose
Posting asks for Kubernetes. Not in your profile, and nothing adjacent to bridge from. Left off the resume. Stated here instead of invented.
Fit
Fit before tailoring. Watch what moves it — and what is refused so it does not.
  • evidence written, because your profile proves it
  • bridge shown as adjacent, never claimed
  • refused left out, and said so

Why most tailoring goes wrong

Everyone says tailor it.
Here is what usually happens instead.

  1. Nine versions, no source of truth

    You fix a bullet in one file and not the other eight. Three weeks later you cannot remember which version a recruiter has.

  2. A chat model writes what it cannot check

    It has no record of what you did, so a confident-sounding line is all it can offer.

  3. Keyword stuffing for one of three readers

    The ATS is the easy gate. The recruiter and the hiring manager decide more, and stuffing makes you worse for both.

  4. Twenty minutes a posting, two hundred postings

    The advice is correct and the arithmetic is impossible.

The one rule

Missing is stated. Never filled in.

A requirement your profile cannot support is left off the resume and listed in the log, with the reason.

One profile

Stop maintaining resumes.
Maintain one profile.

Import a PDF, a Word file, pasted text or a LinkedIn export. Every future resume is drawn from the profile, so adding one outcome improves every application after.

  • Skills that only count with evidence

    Attached to a role, project or course, a skill can be written. Unattached, it stays grey.

  • A strength score that says what to add

    Usually a measurable result on your most recent role, named in plain words.

  • Sharper the longer you use it

    Every gap a posting exposes is a prompt to add the evidence you forgot you had.

The translation log

Every change shows its reason.
Every refusal is stated.

You do not get a new document to trust. You get the original line, the rewritten line, and what in the posting and your profile justified the change.

  • Translated, not invented

    "Built web apps" becomes "shipped production React and TypeScript applications" only because the posting names both and your profile proves both.

  • A bridge is labelled a bridge

    Asked for GraphQL and you shipped REST? The nearest real thing is named as adjacent. The score does not move.

  • Refused, on purpose

    Asked for Kubernetes with nothing to bridge from? Left off, and listed in the log.

Re-scored

Before and after,
read three ways.

The Fit score weighs the ATS read, the recruiter’s skim and the hiring manager’s read for proof. After tailoring it is scored again, so you see what the rewrite moved.

  • The ATS

    How much of the posting’s own vocabulary your resume contains. The easy part.

  • The recruiter

    Years, title, stack, in the first few seconds. Where new graduates usually lose.

  • The hiring manager

    Do your past projects prove you can solve this role’s problem? Half the score.

An application page: a Fit score of 77, the verdict 'Apply today', the requirements the profile proves, and the gaps reframed rather than claimed

Apply

A cover letter from the same evidence,
and a PDF to send.

The letter is drafted against the same posting and the same profile, so it cannot contradict the resume. Export the PDF when you are happy. Then you send it — we never do.

  • Your voice, their posting

    Short, specific, anchored to the two or three things in your profile that matter for this role.

  • PDF export

    Print-quality, from your browser. Word export is not available today.

  • Tracked from the moment you start

Questions

Questions people ask

Will it invent experience to match the posting?
No. That is the one rule the whole product is built around. A skill is written into a resume only when your profile has real evidence for it; a requirement you cannot support is left out and listed in the translation log. You read every change and its reason before you send anything.
What formats can I import and export?
Import a PDF or Word resume, paste plain text, upload a LinkedIn export, or build the profile by answering questions in chat. Export the tailored resume as a PDF from your browser. Word export is not available today.
Does it beat the ATS?
We do not promise that, because nobody honestly can. The Fit score shows how much of the posting’s own vocabulary your resume contains — the ATS read — alongside the recruiter and hiring-manager reads, and tailoring improves all three where your evidence allows. Stuffing keywords you cannot back would hurt the two reads that matter more.
How long does tailoring take?
It runs in the background and usually finishes within a few minutes. If a run fails, you get an email and it never counts against your allowance.
How many can I do?
Twelve tailored applications a month on the free plan. Focused and Full-Time lift that to tailoring you never have to count, and add the overnight search.

Import once. Tailor every time.

Bring whatever resume you have. In about a minute you will have a Career Profile and a first look at what a tailored version would change — and refuse to change.
