We've encoded the exact mental model experienced recruiters use when reviewing applications. Here's how it works.
Upload your existing document or build one from scratch. We accept all standard formats and extract your content the same way a recruiter scanning your application would.
We analyse your CV the way a recruiter would, checking structure, achievement quality, keyword alignment, and how well it positions you for the specific role. You get a clear breakdown of what's working and what isn't.
Apply recruiter-proven improvements: sharper achievements, better structure, targeted language for the role. Every suggestion is grounded in what actually gets candidates shortlisted.
After reviewing thousands of applications, these are the patterns that cause strong candidates to get passed over.
Most CVs describe what the person was responsible for. Recruiters want to know what you actually delivered. Without numbers and outcomes, your experience looks generic.
"Motivated professional with a passion for results" appears on hundreds of CVs. Recruiters skip it. Your summary needs to tell them your level, your specialism, and your value in two sentences.
Hiring teams search for specific terms. If the language in your CV doesn't match what's in the job description, your application gets filtered before it reaches a human.
Recruiters spend seconds on first pass. If your most relevant experience is buried under irrelevant roles or unclear formatting, it won't be found in time.
A generic CV optimised for no role in particular performs poorly for every role. Recruiters can tell when an application hasn't been tailored, and it signals low intent.
If your CV doesn't tell a coherent story of progression and specialism, recruiters struggle to place you. Gaps, pivots, and sideways moves need to be framed, not left to interpretation.
Real examples of how vague, responsibility-led language becomes the kind of achievement-focused writing that gets candidates shortlisted.
Career Playbook isn't a generic tool. Every feature is grounded in how senior recruiters actually assess candidates. The feedback you get is the feedback that leads to interviews.
