ImprovedCV Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. How would you describe the primary audience of ImprovedCV?

   Active job seekers who send many applications and know their CV is being filtered by applicant tracking systems before a human sees it. That includes recent graduates, career switchers, and professionals who want to tailor every application without rewriting their CV by hand each time.

2. What's the story behind ImprovedCV?

   ImprovedCV was built by Joseph, a business student and entrepreneur based in Barcelona. He saw how much time people spend rewriting their CV for each application, and how often good candidates get rejected by ATS filters only because their wording doesn’t match the job posting. The goal was a tool that tailors a CV to a specific job in seconds, priced fairly for people who are between jobs.

3. Which are the primary technologies used for building ImprovedCV?

   • Next.js (App Router) with TypeScript
   • Tailwind CSS
   • Supabase (database and auth)
   • Anthropic Claude API (CV parsing and optimization)
   • Stripe (credit payments)
   • Vercel (hosting)

4. Who are some of the biggest customers of ImprovedCV?

   • Individual job seekers across Spain and Europe
   • Recent graduates entering the job market
   • Professionals changing careers

5. What makes ImprovedCV unique?

   • It tailors a CV to a specific job posting. You paste the job description, and it rewrites your CV for that role and scores it against the posting. Most CV builders only give you a template to fill in.
   • It doesn’t invent facts. The tailoring rewrites what you actually did and doesn’t add experience, skills or numbers. That’s the main thing I’d lead with.
   • The ATS checker is free and needs no sign-up. It doesn’t save your CV. It shows how software is likely to read the file (columns, tables, headers, dates) and the text a parser extracts. It also has a Spanish version.
   • It’s one tool for the whole application. CV tailoring, ATS check, keyword extractor, cover letter generator, LinkedIn optimizer, application tracker and interview prep all sit in one place.
   • It works in several languages. The site is in six languages and the CV can be generated in more. Real Spanish pages cover Spanish requirements such as TIP, CAP and colegiación, not translations of English ones.
   • It has 44 templates, including ATS-safe ones.

6. Why should a person choose ImprovedCV over its competitors?

   • Job-specific matching. You get a CV rewritten for the posting and a score showing the gaps, instead of a generic CV.
   • Trust. It won’t put made-up claims in a CV you sign.
   • Checking before paying. You can test your CV for free with nothing stored.
   • Price and language fit. It’s cheaper than many subscription competitors and gives Spanish and other non-English job seekers a proper product.
