How it works

From blank page to an application you're proud of.

  1. 01

    Add your experience

    Start from scratch, from a guided example, or import an existing PDF or Word CV and check what was extracted.

  2. 02

    Refine with the assistant

    Strengthen your summary and bullet points, get a ranked review, and tailor the CV to a job description. You approve every change.

  3. 03

    Choose a design and export

    Switch between 32 layouts without losing content, adjust type and spacing, then download a crisp PDF or editable Word file.

What you can do

Serious tools for a serious job search.

AI CV writing

Generate summaries from your real experience, turn duties into achievement-focused bullet points, and fix tone, clarity and grammar in a click.

Responsible for managing a team.

Managed a team of eight, coordinating daily operations and supporting consistent delivery against team targets.

Illustrative only. The assistant uses the facts you supply, and asks for team sizes or results rather than inventing them.

ATS optimisation

Every export has real, selectable text and conventional headings. An ATS mode switches any template to a clean single column, and the AI reviewer flags readability risks.

Grammar

ATS

Example review scores. No tool can guarantee how a particular ATS reads your CV.

Cover letters

Pick a CV, add the role and company, paste the job description, and get a tailored letter in six tones. Then rewrite paragraphs, shorten, expand or re-target it for another job.

Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Operations Manager role…

Job-specific tailoring

Compare your CV with a job description: see matching strengths, missing keywords and genuine gaps, then accept or reject each proposed change, or save a tailored copy.

Truthful by design

The assistant is instructed never to invent experience, qualifications or metrics, and nothing changes your CV until you approve it.

Cancel whenever you like. Everything you've created stays available to view and download, now and later.

Made for the UK

British English, UK date formats and CV conventions by default. No date of birth or anything sensitive required, and a photo only if you want one.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my CVs if I cancel?

They stay in your account. After your paid period ends you can still sign in, view, rename, delete and download every CV and cover letter you created, as PDF or Word. What stops is premium editing and the AI tools. Resubscribe at any time to switch them back on.

When does cancellation take effect?

At the end of the billing period you've already paid for. You won't be charged again, and you keep full membership until that date. Settings shows the exact date before and after you cancel.

Will the AI make things up?

It's designed not to. The assistant only works from the information you give it, never adds employers, qualifications, numbers or achievements, and asks you for missing facts instead. You review every suggestion before it changes your CV.

Are the CVs ATS-friendly?

Every export contains real, selectable text with standard section headings. Each template also has an ATS mode that switches to a conventional single-column layout and leaves out any photo. No tool can guarantee how a particular applicant tracking system will read a CV, so we won't promise that.

What does the free plan include?

One CV, one cover letter, 6 essential templates, PDF export and 5 AI writing actions each month. Membership adds unlimited documents, all templates, Word export, AI review, tailoring, cover letter generation and version history.

Is there a limit on AI use for members?

Membership includes up to 300 AI actions a month. That covers far more than typical job-search use, and the limit only exists to prevent abuse.

Do you use British English?

Yes. British spelling and UK CV conventions are the default: no date of birth, optional driving licence and right-to-work lines, and a photo only if you choose a photo template and add one.

How is my data used?

Your documents are private to your account. When you use an AI tool, only the relevant text is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate the response. Anthropic's commercial terms say API data isn't used to train their models by default. We never sell your data. See the privacy policy for details.
