Ethical, ATS-friendly resume tailoring

Tailor every resume to every job, in minutes.

GroundedResume rewrites your real experience to match the job description, and shows you which of the job’s requirements your resume doesn’t already support.

Skills you don’t have don’t get added. They get listed as gaps, so you know what’s actually missing.

Two free tailored resumes a month. No card. The checker needs no account at all.

Proof

We tested this against the live model.

We handed the system a resume and a job description demanding ten skills, tools and certifications the resume did not contain. Then we checked whether any of them appeared in the tailored version.

CISSP
…and five more
0 / 10

None of the ten appeared. All ten came back as gaps, each with what it would actually take to close it. On 6 September we ran that test against the live model. It is not automated yet, so treat it as a measurement we took, not a promise about every future release.

A tailoring result showing an amber 'A stretch' verdict, a match score of 63 out of 100, and a 'What's thin for this role' list naming five requirements the resume does not cover.

A real run. The product tells you what you’re missing instead of inflating the score.

How it works

Three steps, and the last one is reading it.

01

Upload your resume

Word, PDF or pasted text. Upload a Word file and we edit that file rather than rebuilding it, so your layout comes back as it was.

02

Paste the job posting

We read the whole thing, work out which of its requirements your experience already supports, and rewrite around those.

03

Read it before you send it

Every change is yours to keep or undo, and the requirements you don't meet are listed rather than quietly filled in.

Your own document

You get your file back, not an answer to copy and paste.

Your tables, your columns, your fonts, your two-page layout: as they were. We open the Word file you uploaded and change the words inside it.

A tool that hands you text in a chat window has handed you a reformatting job, and a resume that no longer looks like the one you spent a weekend on.

What you get back

Your own experience, rewritten for the job in front of you.

And a note saying exactly what the job asked for that your resume doesn’t have.

The tailored resume tab, showing a rewritten executive summary and core competencies, above a banner stating that three requirements in the job description are absent from the original resume and appear nowhere in the tailored one.

The whole search lives here, not just the rewrite.

A tailored resume is one afternoon. Finding the job, applying, following up, and doing it again next week is the actual work. So the tracker, your resumes and every run you’ve made are all on the free plan, permanently.

Track every application

Saved, applied, interviewing, offer, rejected. The exact resume you sent is attached to the row.

Keep your resumes on file

Store more than one and pick the right starting point per job instead of re-uploading.

Every run, still there

Reopen any tailoring you've saved: the resume, the gaps, and anything you generated from it.

Pro

Cover letters & outreach

A letter drafted from your resume and the posting, plus LinkedIn notes, referral asks and follow-ups. All yours to edit before you send.

Pro

Interview prep & LinkedIn

Likely questions with STAR answers, and a rewritten headline, About and bullets.

ProPremium

ATS & recruiter review

Formatting and parsing risks with fixes. Premium adds a blunt recruiter's read: red flags and gaps.

Honest by design

We don’t help you trick hiring systems.

GroundedResume improves clarity, ATS compatibility and job alignment, and flags any requirement it couldn’t find in your resume. It does not invent experience you don’t have.

The longer version, including what we will and will not do, is on the ethics page.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Does this fabricate experience to beat the ATS?

No. GroundedResume rephrases and reorganizes your real experience for clarity and job alignment, and lists the requirements it couldn't find in your resume. On 6 September we ran a test where a posting demanded ten skills a sample resume lacked. None appeared.

Will it change how my resume looks?

If you upload a Word file, no. We edit that document and your layout comes back as it was. PDFs and pasted text are returned in our standard layout.

Is it really ATS-friendly?

We improve ATS compatibility: clean structure, standard sections, keyword alignment. We also flag formatting risks. No tool can guarantee passing every ATS.

Do you store my resume?

Your tailored resumes are saved to your account history so you can revisit them, and you can delete any run at any time. We never sell your data or use it to train models.

Which AI models do you use?

A cost-routed mix: fast, affordable models for analysis and stronger models for tailoring. Premium unlocks our most capable model; Local mode can run on your own server.

What's the difference between Economy, Balanced and Premium?

They use different AI models. Economy uses a lighter one, Balanced is the default and fits most resumes, and Premium uses the strongest model available.

Economy and Balanced both cost one credit. You are paying for a tailored resume, not for our compute, so there is no reason to ration yourself between them. Premium costs three credits and is available on the Premium and Team plans.

Premium takes longer. A Balanced run is usually a minute and a half to two minutes; the one Premium run we timed took just over two minutes, and that was off-platform, so expect somewhat more than that in production.

We do not claim one mode produces a better resume than another. We have not run that comparison. What differs is the model and the time, and we would rather tell you that than assert a result we cannot show you.

Local mode is for running the platform on your own infrastructure, pointed at your own Ollama or vLLM server, so your documents are processed by a model you host instead of an outside AI provider.

Why pay for this when I already pay for ChatGPT or Claude?

Fair question. If you're applying to one or two roles, a general chat assistant may be all you need.

The difference isn't the model. It's what runs around it.

One run, six outputs. Analysis of the posting, the tailored resume, keyword gaps with what would close each, a change log, interview talking points, and export.

Your fonts, sizes, colours and margins survive. Upload a Word file and it comes back in your typography, not as plain text to rebuild.

The measurement is real. Keyword coverage is computed in code from the text itself, and every requirement marked missing is checked against the actual output. If one appears, you're told which.

Your search stays organised. Resume library, full history, application tracking from saved through to offer with a link to the exact version you sent, and match scores over time.

Choose the engine. A fast model reads the job, a stronger one writes. On Premium, put the top model on the jobs that matter, or run against your own local model.

Start free with 2 a month, and run one real application through both.

Start with the free check.

No account, no card, about five seconds. You’ll see your own weakest lines quoted back, and one of them rewritten, before you decide whether the rest is worth it.
