We built something because we got tired of watching great candidates disappear into ATS black holes

🚀 We built something because we got tired of watching great candidates disappear into ATS black holes.

After hundreds of applications, interview prep sessions, resume rewrites, and honestly way too many “We decided to move forward with other candidates” emails…

we realized something:

Most people are not losing because they lack skills.
They’re losing because their CV never gets properly understood.

So we built  CVBoosta

A platform designed to help job seekers:

  • improve ATS compatibility

  • tailor resumes for specific roles

  • optimize resume keywords

  • generate stronger bullet points

  • improve positioning without faking experience

The goal was simple:

Help people get more interviews from the same experience.

Since launching, we’ve already seen users increase interview callbacks significantly after optimizing their CVs through the platform.

Some users went from:
127 applications → 2 interviews
to
42 applications → 14 interviews.

That’s the kind of signal improvement we care about.

What makes us different:
• We focus on ATS + recruiter readability together
• We built it based on real hiring pain points
• Fast workflow — upload → analyze → optimize in minutes
• Clean UX without overwhelming “AI magic” nonsense
• Built by people who actually struggled with hiring systems themselves

We’re still early.
Still improving daily.
Still fixing things, testing flows, rebuilding features, and listening to users obsessively.

But the mission is very clear:

Help talented people stop getting filtered out before they even get a chance.

Would genuinely love feedback from the Product Hunt community 🙌

If you’re job hunting, recruiting, or just curious about where hiring is heading — give it a try.

We've been staring at the same black hole from the other side of the table. I'm a recruiter, and after years of watching good people get filtered out and watching hiring managers drown in 400-CV inboxes, we built My Ideal Candidate, kind of the mirror image of what you're doing.

Where CVBoosta helps candidates get through the ATS, we're trying to fix the ATS side itself:

  • A free CV check so candidates can see what a recruiter actually sees (same engine, no fluff)

  • Tools for recruiters to screen, shortlist and plan hiring without the black-hole behavior in the first place

  • A Workforce Planner for teams figuring out who to hire before the JD ever goes live

Honestly, tools like yours + tools like ours probably need to exist together until hiring stops being broken on both sides. Rooting for you and happy to swap notes any time.
