Question 1

What does "tailor your CV" actually mean?

Accepted Answer

Tailoring means adapting your existing CV to match a specific job description. Our AI analyses the role requirements, identifies relevant keywords, and restructures your experience and skills so they align with what the employer is looking for. All while keeping your information accurate.

Question 2

How does AI CV tailoring improve my chances of getting hired?

Accepted Answer

Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to filter CVs before a human ever reads them. A tailored CV includes the right keywords, proper formatting, and role specific language that helps you pass these automated filters. Studies show tailored CVs are 3–5× more likely to get an interview.

Question 3

Is it safe to upload my CV? What happens to my data?

Accepted Answer

Your privacy is our priority. We process your CV securely using encrypted connections and never use your data to train AI models. Your documents are not stored permanently, they are processed in real time and discarded after your session.

Question 4

What file formats can I upload?

Accepted Answer

We support PDF and DOCX files. Simply upload your existing CV in either format and our parser will extract your information automatically. You can review and edit everything before tailoring.

Question 5

Do I need to paste the full job description?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for best results, paste the complete job description including responsibilities, requirements, and any preferred qualifications. The more detail you provide, the better our AI can match your experience to the role.

Question 6

Can I tailor my CV for multiple jobs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can tailor the same CV for as many job descriptions as you like. Each tailored version is optimised specifically for that role, so we recommend creating a unique version for every application.

Question 7

How is this different from using ChatGPT to rewrite my CV?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT can help with wording, but it doesn't understand ATS formatting rules, structured data extraction, professional CV layouts, or PDF generation. CraftAI CV handles the entire pipeline, from parsing your existing CV, to AI-powered tailoring, to generating a beautifully formatted, ATS compliant PDF.

Question 8

How long does it take to tailor a CV?

Accepted Answer

The AI tailoring process takes around 15–30 seconds. Upload your CV, paste the job description, and you'll have a tailored, preview-ready CV in under a minute. You can then fine tune any section before downloading.

Question 9

What if I don't have a Job Description to paste?

Accepted Answer

Our Tailoring tool can handle general optimisation even without a specific job description. If you don't have one to paste, simply upload your CV and leave the job description field blank. The AI will still enhance your CV by improving phrasing, formatting, and keyword usage based on common industry standards. While it won't be tailored to a specific role, it will still help make your CV more polished and ATS friendly.
