Why ChatGPT Resumes Get Rejected

  • ~23% hallucination rate: ChatGPT makes up skills, certifications, and achievements. Your career can't afford 'close enough.'

  • Generic, robotic output: ChatGPT makes you sound like everyone else. Recruiters spot it instantly.

  • 30+ minutes of refinement: You still spend significant time fixing and editing the output.

  • No outcome tracking: ChatGPT can't tell you if your resume is working. You're flying blind.

Why We Built This
