Your CV should read like you wrote it.
Recruiters can tell. Template tools produce template writing. getshortlisted starts from a different idea: your career is the asset, and every CV is rendered from it — tailored to the role, in your voice. Hosted in Switzerland. GDPR-adequate.
Free during early access.
The waste
You rewrite your career from scratch every time.
A new role, a new Word file. Last year's projects half-remembered. The same paragraph reworded for the fifth time. The story of your work lives in fragments — across folders, drafts, and inboxes — and none of it is structured enough to be reused. So every application starts from zero, and ends as a one-page approximation of who you are.
There is no record. There is only the latest copy.
The shift
From a single document to a structured record.
Before
One page that forgets ninety percent of you.
A flat document, written for one role, edited into another, losing detail with every pass. When the next opportunity arrives, you start over.
After
A record that holds the whole career.
Every role, every project, every skill — captured as structured data, in your own words. The record deepens over time. Each application draws a tailored CV from the same source. Nothing is lost between drafts.
How it works
Write the record once. Reuse it for the rest of your career.
The product is built around one idea: your career is the asset, the CV is a rendering of it.
1. Build the record.
Import a PDF or fill the form. Each role, each project, each skill becomes a field — not a paragraph buried in a layout.
2. Deepen it over time.
Add what you learn as you learn it. The record gets richer with every entry. You never write your career from scratch again.
3. Tailor it to the role.
Paste a job description. The product draws the relevant pieces from your record and proposes a CV shaped for that role — in your own language.
4. Render every document you need.
CV today. Cover letter, summary, translated CVs tomorrow. Same record. Same voice. Different surfaces.
What the record enables
What it does
One structured record. Many tailored outputs. Every one of them sounds like you.
Structures your experience
Schema-driven, not template-driven. The form catches gaps; the export stays consistent.
Tailors a CV to the role
Paste the job description. Get a CV drawn from your record, in your own voice.
Helps you write what you mean
A copyeditor, not a ghostwriter. Tightens lines you have drafted; never invents the page.
Translates your CVEN and FR today. DE, NL, TR on the way.
EU job seekers carry several CVs in several languages. The record is built for all of them.
Cover letter and summaryComing.
Same record. Same voice. The application bundle, drawn from the source.
Clean PDF exportComing.
Print-correct, ATS-parseable, no layout tricks. The file you download is what the recruiter sees.
Schema you can shape
Rename fields, reorder sections, add what your industry needs. The record bends to your career, not the reverse.
Keeps your data in Europe
Drafts, exports, and AI calls stay on European infrastructure, under GDPR-equivalent Swiss law. Your record is yours.
What it doesn't do.
These are not missing features. They are decisions.
No auto-apply — because a submission you didn't review isn't an application, it's a gamble.
The products that tried this are rated 2 out of 5. Platforms flag identical AI letters. Recruiters add traps. The EU AI Act classifies employment-decision automation as high-risk under Article 14. You send. Not us.
No reading your inbox — because your messages are yours, and not what a CV tool needs.
The OAuth scope required to read your inbox is one of the most invasive permissions a product can ask for. It would make us a data controller for content with nothing to do with your CV. The line stays where it is.
No scraping job sites — because their terms are contracts and GDPR makes us joint controller if we cross them.
We don't pull listings from LinkedIn, Indeed, or any other platform without permission. If you want to tailor your CV to a role, paste the job description. That keeps the relationship with the platform clean — and yours.
No score out of 100 — because a number designed to make you anxious is not feedback.
Recruiters don't read CVs that way. ATSes don't either. An algorithmic score optimises for the score, not the role. We give you line-level observations on your actual draft. We don't give you a leaderboard.
How we make money
Your CV is not the product. You are not the product either.
The record you build here is a long-term asset. Every reason to protect it, no reason to monetise against you. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties beyond the sub-processors named in the privacy policy. We do not train AI models on your content, and our AI provider is contractually bound not to train on API inputs. When pricing arrives, it pays for the service — not for access to you.
Free during the current phase. Pricing will be flat and stated up front.
Questions worth answering before you sign up.
Can I use one record to apply to many roles?
That is the whole point. The record is built once. Each application draws a CV tailored to that role from the same source. The same applies to cover letters and summaries when those ship.
What happens to my record if I close my account?
It is deleted within 30 days of closure. Encrypted backups may persist up to 30 additional days before rotation overwrites them. You can export a structured copy of everything at any time — that copy is yours to keep.
Is my data sent to OpenAI?
Only when you trigger an AI action — tailoring a CV to a role, or importing a CV from PDF. OpenAI is contractually bound not to train on API inputs and retains them for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deletes them. If you would rather not, the manual editor works without sending anything to OpenAI. Full detail lives in the privacy policy.
Switzerland isn't in the EU — what protects my data?
Switzerland is not an EU member state, but it operates under data-protection law that the European Commission has formally assessed as adequate — meaning your data receives protection equivalent to GDPR. The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) mirrors GDPR in substance and is enforced by the FDPIC. The claim is structural, not marketing. The privacy policy gives the full legal basis.
Can I import an existing CV?
Yes. Drop a text-based PDF; the product extracts a draft record for you to review. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
Which languages can I write my CV in today?
English and French ship today. German, Dutch, and Turkish are on the way. The record holds them all — translation is contextual to the role, not a literal pass.
