GhostAI
Tailor your CV to each job, surface ATS gaps, and practice better interview answers.
Tagline
Fix your CV before you apply
Stop getting ignored by ATS screens
Turn generic experience into job-fit
Know what’s missing before you apply
GhostAI is the CV-to-job matching layer candidates use before they apply.
The product is centered on pasting a CV and job description, then optimizing for fit. That makes it a pre-application matching tool, not a generic resume editor.
A better alternative to one-score resume scanners that tell you what's wrong but don't fix it.
The page explicitly contrasts GhostAI with simple scoring tools by offering missing keywords, bullet rewrites, and interview coaching, so the strongest message is 'diagnosis plus repair.'
Stop getting ignored by ATS screens and vague recruiter filtering.
The landing page repeatedly focuses on CVs getting ignored, ATS-style scoring, and matching job descriptions, which is the clearest pain-killer framing for this market.
Primary user
Graduates actively applying to entry-level roles who are getting no response from recruiters
ICP #1
Graduate job seeker in the UK sending 20+ applications a week with no interview callbacks
Pain
They know their CV looks 'fine' but have no idea why it keeps getting ignored by ATS filters or recruiters.
Why this solves
GhostAI shows the missing keywords, scores the CV against a target role, and rewrites weak bullets into more credible, role-aligned statements so the candidate can fix specific issues immediately.
ICP #2
Career switcher moving from general operations or non-tech roles into tech product, data, or analyst roles
Pain
Their experience is relevant but phrased in a way that fails to signal fit for the new role, so applications stall before interviews.
Why this solves
The product translates generic experience into job-matched bullets and role-specific feedback, making transferable work sound like direct evidence for the new job.
ICP #3
Early-career professional applying to competitive corporate roles that use ATS screening
Pain
They can’t tell whether they are missing hard keywords, weak on impact, or simply presenting their experience badly.
Why this solves
GhostAI combines ATS-style scoring, structured CV feedback, and interview coaching in one workflow, which gives them a faster path from weak application to better-prepared candidate.
Strengths
- +The value proposition is instantly understandable: paste CV + job description and get matching feedback fast.
- +It shows a concrete before/after bullet rewrite, which makes the output feel tangible rather than abstract.
- +The page covers the full journey from CV improvement to interview prep, which broadens perceived value.
Weaknesses
- −The page is still too generic about audience segments; 'Graduates' and 'Professionals' are too broad to create sharp resonance.
- −It does not prove the ATS score is accurate or explain how the scoring works, which weakens trust.
- −The testimonial section is thin and anonymous enough to feel lightly fabricated or at least unconvincing.
- −There is no hard differentiation versus Jobscan, Teal, or Rezi beyond softer language about 'feedback' and 'coaching.'
- −The conversion path is vague: free to start is good, but the page never explains pricing, usage limits, or what happens after signup.
Fix these
- Add a side-by-side comparison against Jobscan, Teal, and Rezi with specific feature differences and outputs.
- Show a real CV transformation with a full before/after example for a named role like Data Analyst or Graduate Software Engineer.
- Explain the ATS-style scoring rubric in plain English so users understand what the score means and why it changes.
- Replace broad personas with role-based landing variants for graduates, career switchers, and professionals targeting specific job families.
- Add proof: example outputs, anonymized success stories, and conversion metrics like applications improved, interviews booked, or time saved.

FAQ
How is GhostAI different from Jobscan or Teal?
Those tools are useful for spotting issues. GhostAI is built to diagnose and repair: score the match, show missing keywords, rewrite weak bullets, and help with interview practice in one flow.
Does the ATS score mean I’ll get the job?
No. It means your CV is closer to the role and more likely to survive keyword filtering and quick recruiter scans. It’s a signal, not a guarantee.
Do I need to sign up to try it?
No. You can start for free without signup. The goal is to let people see value before they commit.
Is this only for graduates?
No. Graduates are the sharpest pain point, but career switchers and early-career professionals applying to ATS-heavy roles get value too.
What should I upload?
Paste your current CV and the exact job description you want. The closer the job post matches the real role, the better the feedback will be.
Most CVs don’t fail because you’re unqualified. They fail because they don’t speak the job’s language. GhostAI shows the missing keywords, scores the match, and rewrites weak bullets so your CV actually fits the role before you apply.
GhostAI is the pre-application layer I wish existed earlier. Paste your CV + job description. Get an ATS-style match score, missing keywords, and rewritten bullets that sound like you belong in the role. Then practice interview answers after.
Building GhostAI taught me something annoying: people don’t want another resume template. They want to know: - why they’re getting ignored - what keywords they’re missing - how to make old experience sound relevant So I built that.
The best feedback so far: 'It showed me exactly what was missing and rewrote my bullets into something I’d actually send.' That’s the product. Not “resume advice”. Specific fixes that make your CV look like it matches the job.
GhostAI is live. Paste a CV + job description and it tells you: - your ATS match score - missing keywords - weak bullets to rewrite - how to improve before interview Free to start. No signup required.
A CV can look polished and still get filtered out. Why? Wrong keywords. Weak impact. Generic bullets. GhostAI catches the gap fast and shows you how to fix it before the application disappears into a black hole.
Scoring is useful. Fixing is better. GhostAI gives you the match score, then rewrites your bullets for the target role, then helps you rehearse interview answers. Diagnosis plus repair. That’s the point.
Career switchers are not missing experience. They’re missing translation. Your ops, support, or admin work can map to product, data, or analyst roles. GhostAI helps turn that into bullets recruiters can parse without guessing.
People keep sending me CVs that are technically good but position the person badly. GhostAI finds the gap in seconds: what’s missing, what’s weak, and what should be rewritten for the target role. That’s why it feels useful instantly.
If you’re applying to roles and hearing nothing back, try GhostAI. Paste your CV and the job description. See the match score. Fix the gaps. Practice the interview. No signup to start.
Angle: ATS diagnosis plus repair
Most CV tools stop at “here’s what’s wrong.” That’s not enough for job seekers who are sending 20+ applications a week and getting silence. GhostAI is built around a simpler workflow: 1. Paste your CV 2. Paste the job description 3. See the ATS-style match score 4. Get missing keywords 5. Rewrite weak bullets for the target role 6. Practice interview answers from the same job context The insight was straightforward: candidates don’t need more generic advice. They need specific fixes they can apply immediately. That’s especially true for graduates, career switchers, and early-career professionals applying to ATS-heavy roles. We’re still improving the scoring explanation and the role-based feedback, but the core use case is clear: help people stop getting ignored before they apply. If you’re hiring, recruiting, or job searching, I’d love feedback on what would make this more trustworthy and useful.
Angle: Career switcher positioning
Career switchers don’t usually lack experience. They lack translation. A lot of good work gets buried because it’s described in the wrong language. General ops, support, admin, coordination, even freelance work can map to product, analyst, or tech roles — if the CV is written to show that fit. GhostAI is trying to do that translation fast. Paste your CV and a job description, and it surfaces the missing keywords, weak bullets, and role mismatch. Then it rewrites the content so the experience reads as relevant instead of generic. I think that matters because most applicants aren’t losing to stronger people. They’re losing to better packaging. The next step for us is making the feedback more role-specific and proving the scoring in a way people trust. If you’ve switched careers recently, I’d genuinely like to know what part of the process was most confusing: keywords, structure, confidence, or interview prep.
Angle: Pre-application workflow
The biggest mistake I see job seekers make is treating CV tailoring like a final step. It shouldn’t be. It should happen before the application is sent. That’s why GhostAI is built as a pre-application tool. You paste the CV and the job description, get an ATS-style match score, see what’s missing, and rewrite the weak parts before the recruiter ever sees it. Then the same role context is used for interview practice, so candidates aren’t just improving the document — they’re preparing the story they’ll tell in the interview. My bet is that this is more useful than another generic resume editor, because the real pain is not “I need a prettier CV.” It’s “I keep getting ignored and I don’t know why.” I’m curious how others think about this space: Do job seekers want more guidance, more automation, or more proof that the changes actually improve responses?

Description
Paste your CV and a job description to get an ATS-style match score, missing keywords, rewritten bullets, and interview practice. Built for job seekers who are tired of getting ignored.
Maker's first comment
I built GhostAI because I kept seeing the same pattern: people would spend hours polishing a CV, send it out, and still get nothing back. The problem usually wasn’t effort — it was mismatch. The CV didn’t speak the job’s language, so recruiters and ATS filters had nothing to grab onto. GhostAI tries to make that obvious and fixable. You paste your CV and the role, and it shows the gap in plain English. Missing keywords. Weak bullets. Structural issues. Then it helps rewrite the content so it fits the target role better, and gives interview practice based on that same job. I’m launching this for graduates, career switchers, and anyone who knows their experience should be relevant but isn’t coming across that way. Would love feedback on the scoring, the rewritten output, and whether the interview mode feels actually useful or just extra noise.
Pinned maker comment
I’d especially love feedback on two things: whether the match score feels trustworthy, and whether the before/after rewrites are strong enough to make you want to apply right away.
