AI résumé tailoring you can audit line by line
Tailoring is a narrow job: take the résumé you have, take one posting, and move the true things that matter to the top. The tools that do it well and the tools that do it badly look identical in a feature table.

How a review runs
Pick a live role
From the catalogue of 285 companies' own boards, so you are tailoring against a posting the employer currently has open — not a description pasted from somewhere else. The server reads the description from the catalogue, not from your browser.
Run Analyze & tailor
You get a fit assessment with reasons and gaps, suggested résumé edits, and a cover-letter draft. Missing qualifications go in the gaps list, not into the résumé.
Approve edit by edit
Each suggestion is shown against the exact sentence it replaces. Reject one and the rest stand. Your original file is untouched throughout.
The four checks that run before you see anything
- Every edit must quote your résuméA suggested edit has to quote an exact, unique passage of the file you uploaded. If the quoted original is not found verbatim, or is found twice, the edit is discarded before you ever see it — which removes the whole class of edits that invent a new bullet point.
- Invented figures are strippedA replacement may not introduce a number that was not already in the passage it replaces. Percentages, headcounts, latency and cost figures that appeared from nowhere are dropped mechanically, not by asking the model nicely.
- No overlapping rewritesIf two suggestions touch the same sentence, applying both would produce a sentence neither proposed. The overlap is dropped, so an accepted edit means what it said it meant.
- Your original is never rewrittenThe file you uploaded stays as you uploaded it. You approve edits one at a time, and changing your profile details invalidates an earlier approval so a stale review cannot follow new facts.
About match scores
The match number beside a role, and the fit assessment an AI review returns, are SchoolWhool's own reading of the posting against your profile. Neither is an employer ATS score, and neither predicts whether you will be hired.
Use a score the way you use a spellchecker's underline — as a prompt to look again, not as a target. Past a point, raising a relevance number means stuffing vocabulary into sentences a human has to read, and the human is the one who decides.

- Use your real résuméA sample résumé will not expose invention, because nothing in it is at stake.
- Pick a posting with a genuine gapIt should ask for at least one thing you have never done.
- Read every change against the originalNot the summary of changes — the changes. Look for a skill that appeared, a number that appeared, 'contributed to' upgraded to 'led', and a team project that became yours.
- Find your original the next dayIf the only copy is the tailored one, the tool has overwritten your source of truth and every future session compounds on a rewrite.
What this is not
- Not a résumé builder. SchoolWhool tailors a résumé you already have; it does not write one from scratch or offer a template gallery.
- Not an ATS score. The match number beside a role, and the fit assessment an AI review returns, are SchoolWhool's own reading of the posting against your profile. Neither is an employer ATS score, and neither predicts whether you will be hired.
- Not an application. Approving materials never submits anything — you apply on the employer's own site.
- These checks narrow the failure; they do not remove your review. They cannot tell whether a true sentence is well judged, and they cannot catch an invented claim that quotes a real sentence and contains no digits. Read the diffs.
Questions
Does it change my original résumé?
No. Your uploaded file is retained unchanged. Tailoring produces a separate set of proposed edits that you approve individually.
What stops it inventing experience?
Every edit must quote an exact, unique passage of your file or it is discarded, and a replacement may not introduce a number that was not already in that passage. Both checks run on the model's output, not on its instructions.
What happens if I change my profile after approving?
The earlier approval is invalidated, so a review cannot silently carry over onto different facts.
Does a failed review use up my allowance?
No. A review that fails on the provider's side is given back.
