AI agent for job seekers
Targeted Resume Tailoring Agent
A tailored resume that truthfully covers the posting's key requirements
What it does
Each job posting asks for different skills in different words, and applicant tracking systems look for those words. This agent reads a posting and the person's master resume, lists the must-have and nice-to-have requirements, and maps each one to real experience. It rewrites and reorders bullets to use the posting's language where the experience truly matches, putting must-haves in the summary and top bullets. It scores the tailored resume against the posting. If fewer than 80% of must-haves are covered, it asks the person about the missing ones and adds only confirmed experience. It never invents skills, titles or dates. The person or coach approves the resume before it is used. Edge case: when the posting asks for a degree the person lacks, it leaves the gap and suggests addressing it in the cover letter.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
Every must-have requirement is matched to real experience. Bullets are reworded only when the underlying experience fits; unmatched requirements become questions.
- Never add skills or titles not in the person's history
- Must-haves come first in the summary and top bullets
- Unmatched requirements become questions, not claims
