Tailoring a CV and letter

How Jobbaloo tailors a CV and cover letter for one posting from your master profile: key qualifications, the truth check, languages, versions and the offline engine versus your AI.

Updated 17 October 2026 · View as Markdown

For each posting Jobbaloo stores one content version: the fullest CV and letter that fit the posting, with a priority on every part that can be left out. A design then draws it at the length and density you choose.

What it does#

  1. Extracts the posting's requirements.
  2. Explains the match: covered with evidence, missing never claimed.
  3. Chooses three to five key qualifications: your own statements and statements derived from your facts (such as whole years in the freelance role and its industries), plus up to two proof lines for must-haves you cover.
  4. Selects and orders your lines. Everything keeps the id of its source.
  5. Writes the letter from the same facts.

The truth check#

The check runs on every saved CV and letter. The full list of what must trace back, and what is free to write, is on The truth check.

  • CV: a line with no source, a number that is not in its source, or a skill not on your list is refused or put back to the source line.
  • Letters and e-mails: checked sentence by sentence. Numbers, years of experience, skills, employers, titles, credentials, achievements, spoken languages, contact data and the signature must trace to your profile or the posting. A failure refuses the save and names each sentence and why. Opinion, such as "I am excited about this role", is free.

Languages#

A German posting gets a German CV and letter, built from your own German lines. A Dutch posting gets English documents with one controlled line saying that you write in English. Dutch is written only for a profile that lists it above basic. A letter is never machine-translated. The rules, including your per-country settings, are on Languages and countries.

Offline engine or your AI#

Versions#

Editing a version is the same CV. A new tailoring is a new version. An unsent application follows each new version; a sent one keeps the version it went out with.

Counting#

A tailored CV is counted once per posting, when it is first tailored. Deleting one gives nothing back. See Plans and limits.
