It evaluates job listings against your CV using structured A-H reports with a 1-5 scoring system, generates ATS-optimized PDF resumes tailored to each position, scans job portals automatically, and tracks applications while keeping you in control of every decision. The skill never auto-submits applications; it filters, evaluates, and drafts so you can focus on the best opportunities. Built by someone who used it to evaluate 740+ offers and land a Head of Applied AI role.
