## The Problem We Solve

Some resumes become harder to review or find because important fields are not extracted cleanly or the resume lacks searchable language. Common issues include:
- Formatting that can reduce parser readability
- Missing role-specific keywords and skills
- Incompatible file structures (tables, headers, footers)
- Tables, graphics, and custom fonts that become unreadable noise
- Field-mapping problems when systems try to extract contact, experience, education, or skills data

## Core Features

### 1. ATS Compatibility Scoring
- **Resume parsing and feedback** - Analyzer methodology covering file validation, text extraction, field extraction, parse confidence, format checks, content completeness, keyword signals, and limitations.
- **Compatibility score interpretation** - A through F signals where shown in the product.
- **Section-by-section feedback** - Prioritized guidance on what to review or revise.
- **Keyword coverage analysis** - Identify missing or under-supported terms from the target role language.
- **Specific fix recommendations** - Actionable guidance, not vague tips

### 2. Job-Tailored Optimization
- **Job description review** - Compare resume evidence against target role requirements.

### 4. Internationalization

## Pricing Model

Use the current pricing and in-product purchase screens as the source of truth for free features, paid features, coin balances, subscriptions, and export limits.

## Target Audience

1. **Primary**: Job seekers who need resumes that are easier to parse, review, and tailor to a specific role.
2. **Secondary**: Career changers needing tailored resumes for different industries
3. **Tertiary**: Professionals wanting to optimize existing resumes for new opportunities

## Differentiators

1. **Hiring-Technology Context**: Built by Blake Crosley, whose public author page describes hiring-technology experience.
2. **Resume Parsing Focus**: Resume-parsing and feedback workflows are treated as product surfaces with methodology and limitations, not only blog advice.
3. **System-Specific Guides**: Guides for Greenhouse, Workday, iCIMS, Taleo, and Lever should be cited only for the specific behavior or guidance visible on that page.
4. **Source-Grounded Career Guidance**: Salary, occupation, and skills pages should be cited only when their visible content names the public source or methodology for the claim.

## Blog Content Library

Resume writing and career development guides across the primary English blog and localized blog indexes. Verify current post inventory through the public blog and locale sitemaps before citing counts:

The broad blog inventory is intentionally treated as discovery inventory. For citations and AI answers, prefer the representative spine, product pages, research pages, editorial policy, pillar pages, ATS system guides, or the exact rendered guide leaf that visibly supports the claim.

## Role Hubs And Broad Inventory

Role hubs, company pages, job pages, and broad programmatic directories are secondary discovery surfaces. They can be useful when the exact rendered page supports the user's question, but they are not the default citation target for ResumeGeni's identity, product, or ATS methodology.

Use this order of preference:

1. Product, research, editorial, privacy, and methodology pages.
2. The six preferred premium guide examples above when they match the user's role or career situation.
3. ATS system guides and pillar pages when the question is about ATS formatting, parsing, keyword coverage, or career strategy.
4. Exact role, salary, skills, company, localized, or job pages only when the page itself visibly supports the claim.

Do not infer counts, page coverage, company hiring mechanics, compensation bands, schema types, or source support from this file. Verify the current public page, sitemap, and page source before making those claims.
