Can it tell me whether I should even apply?

Yes. The deep evaluation scores each role across multiple weighted dimensions against your career goal and returns a clear verdict — apply now, worth applying, maybe, or skip — so you spend your effort where it pays off. (Compensation scoring is coming soon; today the verdict weighs fit, level, growth, culture, and more.)

You can start with no signup, and your data stays in your browser. The core loop — tailoring, evaluation, stories, tracking, and scripts — is built to get you a real result before you ever create an account.

Does it store my data?

By default, no — everything is local-first and lives in your browser. If you sign in, your saved reports, stories, and applications sync to your account, along with account and usage records. When a tool runs, the relevant facts and job text go to OpenRouter for processing and are never stored on our server.

What is a STAR story bank?

STAR is a proven way to structure interview answers — Situation, Task, Action, Result (we add a Reflection). The story bank builds reusable stories from your profile, tagged by theme, so you can adapt one to almost any behavioral question instead of improvising under pressure.

Why five tools instead of five separate apps?

Because they share one fact base. Evaluating a role, tailoring a CV, banking a story, tracking an application, and writing a negotiation script all draw on — and feed back into — the same record of your experience. Each role you chase makes the next one faster.

Comparison

CV Tailor vs Jobscan

ATS resume checker with detailed keyword match reports

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Quick verdict

Jobscan is the market leader in ATS-specific scanning — its keyword match reports and LinkedIn optimization go deeper on keyword analysis than anything CV Tailor does. CV Tailor is a different kind of tool: it doesn't just score your resume, it writes a tailored CV with 6 AI agents, interviews you about gaps, produces a finished PDF, and then carries the same fact base into tracking, offer evaluation, and negotiation. Jobscan owns ATS-keyword depth; CV Tailor owns the whole loop, local-first. Free while in beta.
