SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tailoring a CV to a specific job is time-consuming, error-prone, and often results in generic applications; this skill streamlines the process by analysing a job description, identifying gaps, and producing a role-specific CV and supporting documents that match the target requirements and writing standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated gap analysis across multiple CV variants to find undocumented or under-emphasised experience and surface targeted questions to fill those gaps.
  • Guided, question-driven alignment that attributes experience to roles, captures missing detail into a skills log, and ensures claims are accurately represented.
  • Document generation of professionally formatted .docx CVs and optional cover letters, selection criteria responses, and pitch documents using a centralized generator module.
  • Use case: A jobseeker pastes a recruiter’s job description, answers a short sequence of structured prompts, and receives a tailored .docx CV plus a cover letter saved in an organised output folder.
