Our mission
To make every resume something you'd defend out loud, and to say so plainly when a job isn't worth your time.
Two halves of the same idea. The first is about what goes on the page; the second is about where you spend your evenings. Telling you to skip a job costs us a resume and saves you a week. We would rather you sent five applications that could land than fifty that never had a chance.
What we stand for
Three commitments, and how each one is kept
A value you can't check is decoration. Each of these names the thing in the product that enforces it, so you can hold us to it rather than take it on trust.
01
Truth by construction
Not a policy, and not a filter applied afterwards. There is no path from the model to your resume that can carry a claim you didn't write and approve. The tailoring step is given your approved lines and asked which ones fit. It answers with a list of references, never with a sentence.
In practice
Ask for a claim you never wrote and there is no mechanism that could produce it.
02
Numbers you can check
Coverage is a count, meets 7 of 7, because you can verify a count against the posting yourself, line by line, in about a minute. A confident-looking percentage produced by the same system that wrote the document is decoration wearing the costume of evidence.
In practice
Every verdict cites the specific line of yours that evidences it.
03
Honest over encouraging
Sometimes the useful answer is don't apply. We'd rather tell you that, and show you exactly which requirements you don't meet, than help you send an application that was never going to convert. Your time is the scarce resource in a job search, not your document count.
In practice
The report names the gaps before it offers to build anything.
The principle underneath
Telling a system not to do something is a workaround. Building it so it can't is a fix.
Every other tool in this category is instructed not to invent details about your career. An instruction is honored most of the time, and there is no way to know which resume was the exception. We took the ability away instead. That is a decision you make once, at the beginning, and cannot retrofit later.
The standard we hold
Nothing ships that we wouldn't send ourselves
Fifteen separate checks run on every document before a file exists. A date that doesn't line up, a name you're not free to publish, a claim with nothing behind it. Fourteen of them stop delivery outright; the fifteenth flags a headline problem for you to judge. You're told what's wrong and where, there is no override, and the checks are not a paid feature. Charging for the part that stops you sending a bad document would be a strange thing to do.
Built for anyone who's done the work
Kitchens, wards, warehouses, workshops, classrooms, offices. If you've done it, you deserve a resume that shows it, and one you can stand behind in the room.
Accounts are invitation only while Lapidly is in private testing.
