Fair questions, straight answers

A job-hunt tool built around one constraint: it will not invent experience. You confirm your real career into a vault, and everything after that is built only from what is in there. A resume line with no confirmed source fails the build rather than reaching you as a warning.

It covers the whole hunt: finding jobs, judging fit, tailoring, filling applications, tracking them, and preparing for interviews.

A general chat assistant has no record of your career, so when you ask it to match a job description it fills the gaps between what you told it and what the job wants. It is not being dishonest. It ran out of facts and kept writing, because writing is what it does.

JobShifu has your confirmed record and a check that refuses to produce a document containing a line that record cannot support. It also remembers: a chat forgets you between sessions, and your vault gets stronger with every job you read.

Resume tailoring runs on Anthropic's top Claude model, not the cheap tier. Smaller Claude models handle the lighter jobs, like reading a posting into structured fields, because a larger model does not read a job posting any better. The vendor is named so you can check what is doing the writing.

The model is not the safeguard, though. Every generated line is checked against your confirmed record before it can reach a document, so a model mistake gets caught rather than exported. A better model makes the writing better. The calibration check is what makes it true.

Yes. Nothing in the approach is specific to software. The vault holds roles, projects and achievements in any field, and the calibration check works on citations rather than on subject matter.

Vocabulary and framing adapt to the field you are targeting, so the language proposed for a nursing role is not the language proposed for a backend engineering one.

No, and it is not a missing feature. JobShifu fills the application and stops. Pressing Submit is always your action.

Mass auto-applying produces volume rather than interviews, and an application sent without you reading it is one you cannot follow up on, correct, or even remember making. The product is built to make each application better rather than to make more of them.

No, and anyone promising that is not worth listening to.

What it can do is remove the failures that are actually fixable: applying late to postings that already have hundreds of applicants, spending evenings on roles you were never a fit for, sending a generic resume, and walking into interviews unable to talk about your own bullets. It cannot control who is hiring.

Yes, and it is the fastest way to start. JobShifu reads your existing resume and proposes vault entries from it, which you then confirm.

The confirmation step is not busywork. Nothing becomes citable until you have stood behind it, and that is precisely what makes every later guarantee mean something.

Both, because for most of the world they are the same document under a different name. If you are in the UK, Ireland, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore or most of Europe, the file you upload is your CV and everything works identically: read, proposed as vault entries, confirmed by you, tailored per job.

It also handles the other sense of the word, the long academic CV running to many pages. That case works better than a short resume rather than worse, because a master CV holds more confirmed evidence to draw on, and tailoring is a matter of selecting from it.

The interface says resume throughout. That is a vocabulary choice, not a limitation.

Importing a resume and confirming what it found is a first sitting; you can tailor immediately afterwards.

The vault keeps growing after that, though, and that is the design. Every job description you read surfaces things your resume left out, and confirming those makes the next tailoring stronger. It is less a setup step than something that compounds.

No. The web app is the full product: tailoring, fit, tracking and interview prep all work without it.

The extension adds the two things that can only happen on the page you are applying from: saving a posting where you found it, and filling the application form. What the extension does.

Your vault is scoped to your account and isolated at the database level, so it is readable only by you. You can wipe its entire contents in one action from Settings, and you can delete the account outright, which removes your data and cancels any subscription.

Both are real deletions rather than a flag that hides your account. What JobShifu collects and how it is handled is set out in the privacy policy.

Yes. Resumes and cover letters export as PDF, DOCX or Markdown, named the way recruiters expect with your name first.

Every version also carries a short three-character code so you can tell near-identical documents apart at a glance.
