Tailoring takes one resume and one job description and produces a version of the resume written for that posting. It runs as three visible steps, and the third exists specifically to undo anything the second invented about your history.
The short version
Open Tailor Resume in the sidebar, give it your resume and the posting, and it runs Analyst, then Editor, then Validator. One run costs two credits. It is available on every plan; only credits gate it.
What you provide
- A resume. Upload a PDF, DOCX or TXT file up to 4MB, by clicking the box or dragging the file onto it
- A job title and a company. Both are required
- The job description. Paste the full posting, not a summary of it. Everything the Analyst step looks for has to be in the text you paste
If you already have saved jobs in the tracker, a picker appears above those fields so you can pull the title, company and description from a saved application instead of retyping them. It only appears once you have at least one saved job.
The three steps
1. Analyst
Runs the same analysis the Analyze Resume page runs, against the posting you pasted. When it finishes it reports what it found: missing keywords, weak bullets, and either "ATS issues" or "ATS clear". This is what the Editor works from, which is why a thin job description produces a thin rewrite.
2. Editor
Rewrites the resume against the Analyst's findings, then reports the number of bullets it rewrote and keywords it added.
3. Validator
Compares the rewritten resume against your original, field by field, and puts back anything the Editor changed that was not its to change. It finishes with either "All facts verified" or a count of corrections, and those corrections are written back to the resume rather than only reported.
Exactly what the Validator protects
Inflated titles and invented employers are the documented failure mode of rewriting a resume with a chatbot. The Validator restores six fields, and it restores them from your original rather than asking the model to check its own work:
- For every role: the job title, the company name, the start date and the end date
- For every entry in your education: the degree and the school
What it does not check
The Validator does not read the content of your bullets. It guarantees the rewrite did not move you to a company you never worked at or promote you to a title you never held. It cannot tell you whether a rewritten bullet overstates what you did inside a job that is genuinely yours. Read the bullets before you send the file: "All facts verified" is a claim about your employment history, not about every sentence in the document.
Credits
- A full run costs two credits: one for the Analyst step and one for the Editor step
- The Validator step is not metered. Fact-checking the rewrite is not something to charge extra for
- If your balance is below two, the run is blocked before it starts rather than failing halfway through
- Tailoring is not restricted by plan. Launch accounts can tailor as long as they have the credits
When a step fails
Each step can be retried on its own, and a retry resumes from that step rather than restarting the run, so retrying the Editor does not re-run and re-bill the Analyst. If a step fails because you ran out of credits mid-run, you get the credit prompt rather than a generic error, so you can see what actually happened.
Getting a good result
Practical tips
- • Paste the whole posting, including the requirements list. That list is most of the signal
- • Tailor per posting, not per company. Two roles at the same employer want different resumes
- • Read the Analyst's findings before moving on. If it reports no missing keywords and ATS clear, the Editor has little to work with
- • Check the corrections the Validator lists. A long list means the rewrite drifted, and the rest of it is worth reading closely
- • Keep your original. Tailored versions are saved alongside it, not on top of it
