After building recruitment software, I realized most resume tools are solving the wrong problem

While building a recruitment portal for a large engineering college, I got to see how resume shortlisting actually works internally.

What surprised me was that most resume builders focus on things like: grammar scores fancy designs keyword stuffing

But recruiters today are increasingly using AI-assisted screening to evaluate: project relevance skill alignment with job descriptions experience depth technical exposure overall fit for the role

That experience pushed me to build CVInsight over the last few months.

It’s a free ATS-friendly resume platform where you can:

create resumes with 4 clean ATS templates tailor resumes according to job descriptions get AI-based resume scoring edit resumes unlimited times track multiple resume versions export/share easily

I kept the core features free because I was tired of tools blocking basic resume editing behind paywalls.

The only thing required is signup, mainly because the platform uses AI features and I needed a way to prevent abuse/bot usage and allow users to manage multiple resume versions.

Not claiming this will magically get someone a job no tool can do that.

But I wanted to build something that actually reflects how modern shortlisting works instead of giving random “resume scores.”

Would genuinely love feedback from people applying for internships/jobs right now.

After being part of building recruitment portal for some big organisation I have this for you

So I have built a recruitment portal for one of the top NIT , and in that process i came to know about various things that in actual how does the resume shortlisting works for the recruiter side , it's completely different from what the current tools offer.

I am surprised that the current tools like enhancv give you score based on grammar and that too preprogrammed to do so even if you have no grammar mistakes and it is just done to keep your score low and force you to buy premium.

I don't know about the foreign market but in India it is totally crap.

When I was working on the resume shortlisting feature i saw they were now leveraging ai to check candidates suitableness for the job according to his projects , DSA , other vo curricular skills and much other insider stuff.

I know I can't share the logic from that portal because it will be immoral but i thought of making it public as a personal project , so I spent last 8 months building it and now I think it's almost ready , I have put every possible feature in it that you would need to face the recruitment system these days , it has job specific resume tailoring, actual scoring based on your projects, how unique they are , how much DSA you have done , how much experience you have and a lot of other stuff.

Look to be clear i am not guaranting you that it will get you a job or internship because no tool can do so and if they claim then they are lying, it also has a luck factor and we can't work on that , what we can work on is our resume, skills , presentation skills in interview.

So I have tried to solve one part of it which is all resume related stuff.

Here is the result of my efforts : www.cvinsight.me

How to Get Your First Internship: Complete BTech Roadmap

So it's the best time to get active regarding the internship opportunities because you will have 2 months of summer vacations and just after that you will be in your 3rd year and companies will start hiring for internships which later would be converted into PPOs.

So I am not a professional in this field , infact I am a student myself so I write some blogs in free time so from many days I haven't written anything so i thought to write something about this topic ,and I did so . Here you can read it : https://www.cvinsight.me/placement-playbook/how-to-get-internship-playbook

If it helps you then it's great you can share with friends too and to be clear again it's just a blog written by a 4rth year student so no pro level expectations please 😅

Don't submit ms word resume if you are serious

I have recently seen one of my junior submitting resume which he made from ms word , at first i laughed but then i realised how helpless beginners are in the market. Instead make some good one using latex codes which will pass the ats test easily

I’ve solved one of the biggest problems in job switching.

Not getting shortlisted — even when you’re qualified.

The issue isn’t always your skills. It’s your resume not being aligned with the company.

So I built something to fix that.

With this, you can: • Generate company-specific resumes instantly • Make them ATS-optimized for job portals • Choose strategies based on where you're applying (Recruiter Friendly / ATS Optimized / Competitive Edge / Top Tech)

Instead of sending the same resume everywhere, you now send the right resume for each role.

And if you just want a quick upgrade:

• 100% free resume templates • Fully ATS-friendly • Download instantly as PDF • No AI usage limits

You can also create your profile here:

We’re also working towards bringing recruiters onto the platform soon.

So your profile today… might turn into an opportunity tomorrow.

This is just the start. Would love your feedback 🙌
