Frequently asked questions
Is there an AI tool that can tell me how well I fit a job before I apply?
Yes. Alphie Recruiter's Rate My Fit scores your CV against a specific job description and explains your strengths and gaps. It is included in the free plan.
Should I apply if my fit score is low?
Only if you can explain the gaps. Otherwise use the suggestions to strengthen your CV or look for closer roles.
Does it rewrite my CV with made-up experience?
No. Tailoring rewords and reorders what is already true.
