Know your match score before you apply

Your resume (or CV) is parsed locally in your browser and stored on your device. When you run an analysis, your resume text and the job description are sent directly to OpenAI using your own API key. No True Job Fit servers sit in between - we don't have servers. We never see your resume, your API key, or your job data. Compared to tools like Teal or Jobscan, which send your resume to their own servers first, True Job Fit eliminates the middleman entirely.

Yes. You'll need an OpenAI API key, which takes about 2 minutes to set up at platform.openai.com. Add some credit ($5 is plenty for months of use), copy your key, paste it into True Job Fit. That's it.

Scores use a classification-to-band system that distinguishes between direct experience, adjacent experience, and genuine gaps. It's calibrated against real recruiter feedback - not just keyword counting. Adjacent function matches are correctly penalised, and overqualification is detected and flagged.

98% of Fortune 500 companies use Applicant Tracking Systems that filter applications before a recruiter sees them (source: Jobscan ATS Usage Report, 2025). These systems match on exact keywords from the job description - so if the JD says "cross-functional leadership" and your resume says "stakeholder management," you can get filtered out despite having the same experience. True Job Fit's Gap Coach identifies exactly where this is happening and gives you the specific phrases to fix it.

No. True Job Fit works with any LinkedIn account - free or Premium. It reads the job description that's visible on the page and runs its own analysis.

Most active job seekers spend $3-5/month on OpenAI API costs. A quick job scan costs about 2 cents. A scan plus cover letter runs about 5 cents. A full preparation (scan, cover letter, and all three interview rounds) is about 15 cents. The extension itself is completely free - you just pay OpenAI directly for the AI processing.

Those are all web apps - you leave LinkedIn, switch tabs, paste in a job description, wait for results, then switch back. True Job Fit works directly inside LinkedIn. The score, gap coaching, cover letter, and interview prep all appear on the job page itself. Zero context-switching. LinkedIn Premium now has "Show match details," but it's a basic keyword overview - no bridge language, no cover letters, no STAR stories, no application tracker. True Job Fit gives you the full workflow without leaving the page you're already on.

GPT-4.1 - selected after benchmarking 8 models for accuracy, consistency, and cost. We tested newer and more expensive models but they didn't justify the price difference for this use case. Every prompt in the extension is specifically calibrated for GPT-4.1, which means scores are consistent and reliable across every job you analyse.

We've specifically tuned the prompts to avoid common AI tells - no em dashes, no semicolons, no generic filler. Shorter content is preferred over longer polished content. Four distinct styles ensure each letter has a different voice, not four versions of the same metrics-heavy template.

Completely. Every question is generated for the specific job you're preparing for. The answer frameworks reference your actual resume - your projects, your companies, your metrics. The STAR stories bank pulls from your real experience and maps each story to the questions it best answers. You can regenerate any single question for a fresh angle without losing the rest. And you can download the whole prep sheet as a markdown file to review on your phone before the interview.

No AI tool is perfect, and we don't pretend otherwise. Match scores, keyword classifications, and suggestions are generated by GPT-4.1 and can occasionally misclassify a keyword or pick a weak CV reference. We've built code-level checks that catch common errors automatically (like detecting when a keyword is already on your CV), but you should always review the output and use your own judgment. Think of it as a smart first draft, not a final answer. If something looks off, the ATS Keyword Check has a Re-analyse button to get a fresh result.

It extracts the most important keywords from any job description, checks each one against your CV, and tells you exactly what to do. Keywords you already have are marked as found. Keywords where you have the experience but used different words get a specific action: swap a word in an existing bullet, weave a term into a specific sentence, or add it to your skills section. Keywords you genuinely don't have are flagged honestly so you can prepare for interview questions instead of faking it. No other tool distinguishes between "wrong words" and "real gaps."
