A first skim is short. Make it count.
Resumes are often skimmed before they are read. SteadyCV tailors yours to the exact role, shows the evidence behind every check, tracks the applications and preps the questions — so one search stops feeling like a second job.

Four things that usually live in four tools
A resume editor alone doesn't shorten a job search. SteadyCV keeps the writing, the matching, the tracking and the interview prep in one place — so the search doesn't become a second job.
Build & tailor
27 templates with real sample content, live preview, old-resume import, and AI that rewrites your bullets for the exact posting.
Review with evidence
A score you can open up: every keyword, heading and claim is traceable, and each AI rewrite is checked against your original.
Track the search
A board from Saved to Offer, with the resume version you actually sent attached to each application.
Prepare with Mara
Your companion picks one useful next step, and the interview bank drills the questions this role will actually ask.
Sharper wording. Your facts.
Every rewrite is compared mechanically against what you wrote. Invented numbers, employers and skills get flagged before you send anything.
Your bullet
Original — Senior Backend Engineer
Worked on the payments service and helped move it off the old monolith. Also handled some on-call and mentored two juniors.
Tailored
Led the payments service migration off the legacy monolith to an event-driven architecture, owning on-call rotation and mentoring two junior engineers.
“40% faster” isn't in your original
Know where every application stands
Drag a card from Saved to Offer. The resume version you sent, the posting and your notes stay attached.

Every AI rewrite checked against your original before you apply it
Designed for your field
Each template was built for a specific field and recruiter expectation — not one layout with a different accent colour.
Three steps, then repeat per role
The first resume takes about fifteen minutes. Every application after that takes a couple of minutes.
Start from your field
Pick a template, import your old resume or LinkedIn profile, and let the structure handle headings, dates and reading order.
Paste the posting
AI tailors your bullets to that role, the review shows what a first scan finds, and the guard flags anything you didn't actually write.
Send it and track it
Export a clean PDF or Word file, save the application to your board, and get the interview questions for it.
Built different. Priced honestly.
Most builders let you write for free — then charge you to download. We don't do that.
