The Problem

75% of resumes are rejected by ATS systems before a human sees them. Tailoring resumes to each job posting takes 30-60 minutes. Job seekers waste months applying with unoptimized resumes.

The Solution

Paste a job URL, upload your resume. AI rewrites bullet points to match the job description, optimizes for ATS keywords, scores compatibility (0-100), and suggests improvements. Track all applications.

Executive Summary

Job seekers apply to 50+ jobs with the same generic resume. AI that tailors each resume to the job description and scores ATS compatibility addresses massive demand (10,900% YoY growth in searches). But extreme churn is the killer — users cancel the moment they get a job.
