CraftedCV
CraftedCV is an AI‑powered SaaS that turns the nightmare of résumé tailoring into a one‑click, interview‑boosting experience. Job seekers upload their existing résumé and the target job description; our proprietary AI instantly rewrites, re‑orders and keyword‑optimizes the document for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), raising pass‑through rates and slashing prep time from hours to seconds. Early traction acquired organically via LinkedIn and Indie Hackers—confirms demand, all achieved with zero paid marketing. We’re targeting a U.S. market where each job opening draws ~250 applications and up to 75 % of résumés are rejected by ATS bots; the global résumé‑builder segment is projected to double to $2.5 B by 2030. CraftedCV.io wins on speed, true content‑level personalization, and a transparent freemium model that removes the paywalls common in competing tools. We’re building the fastest path from “apply” to “interview” in today’s hyper‑competitive job market.
