Resume Tailor — from side project to Product

a painkiller for the talent/staff/resource manager/s

Running a software agency has many advantages — it’s overall wonderful, but not without a few pain-points.

One of the most tedious tasks is tailoring CVs for different openings. My business partner and I have always found it mind-numbing and surprisingly hard to streamline.

As one knows, creating beautiful documents with Microsoft Word can drive one mad. One wrong move and your document will explode sending shrapnel straight to your face.

And not to mention all the different versions (specialist in RESTApi, or specialist in AWS) based on different openings.

So, we just built a tool. A homegrown one that allows us to

1. Keep track of different personas2. Keep track of different projects that the team and individual members have done (a very detailed portfolio).3. And a Resume Builder with AI

directly give the measurements to the tailor

All one has to do is log in, choose the team member who’s the best fit, and create a resume — then either paste the URL to the requirements (or paste the requirements text), and ask the system to create it.

(One can even specify how detailed things should be. Just a one pager?, or a beefed up version?)

fine tune it the way you want it to look

You get a preview that you can edit live, and then export to a PDF that goes to the headhunter.

(It even adds a small self-promotion URL that will show the preview of the CV directly in the application)

Like many side projects, it began as a small fix for an internal pain — and it’s quickly turning into something much bigger — blossoming to a full-fledged product.
