How it works
1
Upload once
Drop in your PDF or DOCX. We rebuild it ATS-clean — single column, standard sections, dates in order — and that becomes your universal résumé.
2
Watch the guards run
Every award, metric, credential and date is checked against your original. Dropped facts come back, unsupported ones come out, and you see each receipt.
3
Target any job
Paste a posting or just its URL for a variant that mirrors that job's language for what you really have, then export the .docx and apply.
Four guards, and the receipt for each
Verification is code, not a prompt. It runs after every rewrite and reports what it did, including what it refused to do.
Every fact you had, still thereAwards, metrics, credentials and date ranges are counted in your original and again in the draft. Anything the rewrite dropped is put back before you see it.Example receipt — 2 facts restored, including “Forbes 30 Under 30”.
Nothing that isn't yoursEvery phrase in the draft is traced to a line you wrote. A claim your résumé can't support never reaches the page, and the attempt is listed in your match report.Example receipt — 3 claims attempted, 2 removed.
Dates and titles, unchangedEmployers, titles and date ranges are compared to your original and sorted newest first. Nothing is reworded into a promotion you didn't get.Example receipt — 0 dates changed, 0 titles changed.
Clean on exportStray markdown, half-filled placeholders and formatting artifacts are stripped before the .docx or PDF is built.Example receipt — 3 artifacts stripped.
A variant for each job
Your universal résumé stays exactly as you wrote it, whether it came from your old PDF, a self-eval or notes you typed out. Every posting gets its own variant, and every variant shows what it mirrors and what it could not.
Senior Manager, Customer Experience Operations — Halden FinancialMirrors 11 of the 18 demands in the posting.Gaps reported, not filled in: SQL, BI tool
Support Operations Lead — LedgerlyMirrors the posting's own language for what you really have.Gaps named in your match report, never invented into the résumé.
Gaps come with context, because we track thousands of live postings: a gap can say “asked for by 34% of the postings we track for this role”, and says nothing at all when we haven’t seen enough. See what postings ask for, by role.

Questions, answered honestly
How is this different from other AI résumé builders?
Most tools quietly drop achievements or invent skills a posting demands. FreshStartr runs deterministic verification after every rewrite: every award, metric and credential from your original is counted and restored if it went missing, and nothing is added that your résumé can't support. If a posting demands a skill you don't have, it goes in your match report as advice, never into the résumé — and you see the receipts for both.
Will my résumé pass ATS, and what formats work?
Passing ATS is the core job. Upload a PDF or DOCX and the output is single-column and standard-section by construction. Export a clean, ATS-safe .docx for application systems — the format parsers read most reliably — or a polished PDF for sharing with people. Cover letters export both ways too.
How do I know the tailored version is actually better?
You see it counted. Every tailored variant comes with a before/after score: how many of the posting's demands your universal résumé evidenced versus the variant — computed in code, not by AI opinion, with the exact résumé line shown for every counted term. The report also tells you how many unprovable claims the truth guard blocked.
What if my best achievements aren't on my résumé at all?
That's what the Evidence tab is for. Feed it your self-evals, peer feedback or brag docs and it mines résumé-ready achievements — every claim paired with a verbatim quote from your own document. If it can't quote it, it doesn't keep it. Accepted achievements weave into your résumé through the same verification pipeline.
Can it tailor my résumé to a specific job?
Paste a job description, or just the posting URL — Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn public postings and most career pages work. You get a hyper-specific variant that mirrors the job's language for skills you really have, plus an honest report of the gaps it refused to fake.
Can it write my cover letter too?
Yes — one per application, grounded in your tailored résumé and the job description. Every claim in the letter traces to a line of your résumé and is receipt-checked in code before you see it.
Is it free, and what does Pro cost?
The free plan is genuinely useful: daily résumé rewrites, 3 tailored variants a day with the full verification report, 3 cover letters, the evidence locker, and .docx and PDF export — no credit card required. When you want more, the job search pass is $29 once for 90 days of Pro limits with no subscription to cancel; or subscribe at $19 a month, or $7 for a sprint week. Cancel anytime, self-serve; it just stops.
What is the deep review?
Our strongest model reads your résumé the way a skeptical hiring executive does — flagging claims that sound inflated, metrics missing a baseline, and timeline questions — then lists the exact interview questions your résumé invites and the concrete fix for each. Every finding quotes your document verbatim and is verified in code before you see it. Every account gets one free deep review; after that it is part of Pro.
What happens to my universal résumé when I tailor it?
Nothing. Tailoring always creates a new linked variant. Your universal résumé stays untouched, and every edit to anything is version-history'd.
