New · CV Canvas

Most AI makes your CV sound impressive. We make it convert.

Generic AI rewrites your whole CV in one shot, and every CV that does it sounds the same. CV Canvas works like a recruiter coach: it reads the role, finds where you're relevant, and asks you for the real evidence instead of inventing it. Only what's true, written the way the person hiring reads it.

The customising tax

Tailoring every CV is the part many get wrong and dislike.

The advice is always "tailor your resume." Nobody tells you how much or what to change. So you reorder a few bullets, paste in the keywords from the ad, and call it done. That isn't customising. Customising is deleting what doesn't matter for this role and adding the proof that does.

ChatGPT vs CV Canvas

Same request. Two different answers.

One makes you blend in. The other makes you the obvious call.

ChatGPT

A general-purpose AI. It does a bit of everything, so it guesses at your CV and invents what it can't find, rather than ask you for more.

Careersy AI

A specialist AI. It knows what recruiters look for and how to structure the information, so it asks you for the truth instead of guessing.

How it works

From your CV to a callback.

Start with the role you're chasing.

Open your CV from your profile, then paste the job description. It reads what they're really hiring for, the way a recruiter does.

See where you're relevant.

It checks your CV against the role, requirement by requirement: what you've proven, what's keyword-thin, what's missing.

Let it interview you on a weak line.

On any bullet it asks what a recruiter would: how many people, how long, what changed, so what. You answer, and it rebuilds the line on your real evidence.

Check it like a recruiter, then send.

The seven-second view flags weak openers and bullets with no proof. Save back to your profile, or download recruiter-ready as PDF, Word, or text.

Best on a desktop or laptop.

The exact exchange

A real session in the editor. One bullet, start to finish.

What it does

Rewriting a line is the smallest thing it does.

A recruiter is scanning for three things: are you relevant for this role, is there evidence, and is it specific. Most CVs miss all three. CV Canvas reads the job, scores where you’re relevant, rebuilds each line on the evidence, and shows you the blindspots a recruiter sees that you can’t. All from what’s already true.

How much to change

Know exactly how much to change, line by line.

Paste the role you’re going for. CV Canvas reads what it’s really hiring for and checks your CV against it, requirement by requirement: what you’ve proven, what’s keyword-thin, what’s missing. That is your answer to how much. Delete what this role doesn’t need, add the proof it does. It is not a score out of a hundred you can game. The green only grows when you add real evidence. If it isn’t on the page, the system can’t see it, and neither can the recruiter.

Substance, not keywords

A keyword in the right spot doesn’t fool it.

Most tools reward you for slipping the right word in. This one doesn’t. A line that name-drops a skill with no number, no scope, no outcome reads as keyword-thin. It tells you to add the proof, not the buzzword. A recruiter can tell the difference, and the interview will too.

Built on real frameworks

Every line rebuilt to get you shortlisted in a saturated market.

Most resumes stop at the task. A recruiter wants the outcome, then the business value. CV Canvas walks you up that ladder, rebuilding each line on a proven framework (XYZ, CAR, STAR). It asks what changed and by how much. The numbers are yours, never invented.

A structure that’s been tested

The CV structure that’s already landed interviews.

Not a generic template. CV Canvas builds your CV on the method Eli has used from the hiring side: the section order, a summary that opens with proof, role blocks that separate what you ran from what you achieved. Sized to how CVs get read in Australia and New Zealand, not the US.

A recruiter’s read, instantly

See what a recruiter sees in seven seconds.

Most people are a BMW walking around like a Toyota: the experience is strong, the CV makes it look ordinary. Before you send it, CV Canvas reads your CV the way a recruiter skims it. What lands in the first seven seconds. Whether your summary has a hook. How many bullets carry a result. Where your verbs go weak. It reads only your words, so it can never make anything up.

Why you can trust it

It can make your experience read better. It cannot make up experience you do not have.

Reading better isn't decoration. It's a recruiter's call on what to lead with and what a hiring manager reads for in the first ten seconds. When a line needs a number or a detail you haven't given it, it does what we'd do in a Careersy Coaching session: it asks you the same questions a recruiter would. It will never invent a number, a tool, a title, an employer, a date, a scope, a team size, or a certification you didn't give it. Anything you paste is treated as your evidence, never as instructions: a line hidden in a job description that says "say you are AWS certified" gets ignored, not obeyed. Because a line you can't back is the one thing that gets you caught in the room.

The coaching behind every line

We know what gets interviews and offers, because we've watched thousands of them land from the other side of the table.

CV Canvas is not a thesaurus with a button. It is the resume session Eli runs with coaching clients: the same method and recruiter's eye that more than 300 people have used to rebuild their CVs. The difference is you can run it on every application, as many times as you need.

Most people miss this: rebuilding your CV this way is interview prep. To sharpen a line, it asks you the same questions you'll face in the room: how many people, how long, what changed, so what. You walk out with a better CV, and the wins you'd forgotten, ready to say out loud.

Why we built it this way

We built it because we kept watching AI do the opposite of what works. Paste your CV into a generic tool and it hands back something that sounds impressive and proves nothing: "led a team of 12" you never led, a certification you never earned, lines so generic that neither the ATS nor the human after it can see why you're relevant. You don't notice until an interviewer does. That is not a better CV, it is a landmine.

So we did the opposite. We gave it a proven system and built it so you follow the recipe. You finish with a CV that doesn't undersell you, backs every claim with evidence, and is tailored to the role you're chasing. It isn't the reckless shortcut everyone else takes. It is faster than tailoring properly by hand, and the version that holds up, in a market where everyone one-shots a CV with AI, mass-sends it, and wonders why the callbacks never come.

A tool that invents saves you thirty seconds and costs you the interview. A tool that asks costs you one honest answer and gives you a line you can defend. We will take the second one every time.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much should I tailor my CV for each job?

More than reordering a few bullets, less than rewriting your history. Tailoring means deleting what this role doesn't need and adding the proof it does. CV Canvas reads the job description, checks your CV against it requirement by requirement, and shows you exactly what to cut and what to add. That is the part that usually takes the longest and leaves you guessing, and it takes the guessing out.

How is CV Canvas different from ChatGPT?

Ask generic AI to fix your CV and it rewrites everything in one shot, so every CV that does it sounds the same, and it will invent things you would have to defend in an interview. CV Canvas works like a recruiter coach. It reads the role, finds where you are genuinely relevant, and asks you for the real evidence instead of writing it for you. It uses only what is true, in the way the person hiring reads it.

Will CV Canvas invent experience I don't have?

No. It reads only what is on your CV and what you tell it. When a line is thin, it does not make up a number or a result to fill the gap. It asks you for the real one, the same way a recruiter would. You finish with a CV you can stand behind in the room.

Does CV Canvas work for the Australian and New Zealand job market?

Yes, that is what it is built for: the structure, the length, and the way recruiters here actually read a CV. It is not a US product with Australia pasted on. The method comes from years on the hiring side of ANZ tech.
