Shortlist - Stop rewriting your resume. Paste the job instead.

by
Paste a job description and Shortlist rewrites your resume to match it! keywords, structure, and tone, all optimized for ATS scanners. Then it generates a cover letter targeted to the same role. Everything compiles to clean LaTeX PDFs, not HTML-to-PDF exports. The formatting holds up everywhere. New: translate your resume into 39 languages while keeping the original layout intact, including RTL scripts like Arabic and CJK characters. Free tier included. No credit card to start.

Hey PH! 👋 I'm Oluwapelumi Daniel, and I built Shortlist because I was tired of the resume rewriting loop. Every job application meant opening a Google Doc, rewriting bullet points to match the posting, then fighting with formatting when I exported to PDF. I'd spend 30-40 minutes per application and still wonder if the ATS would even parse it correctly. So I built a tool that does the whole thing in one step: 1. Paste the job description 2. Shortlist rewrites your resume to match the role; keywords, structure, tone 3. It generates a cover letter for the same job 4. Both compile to clean LaTeX PDFs (not HTML-to-PDF, which breaks constantly) The newest feature I'm most proud of: document translation into 39 languages. Pick any resume you've built, select a language, and the AI translates it while keeping the LaTeX layout intact. Arabic, Japanese, Korean, RTL and CJK scripts all work. This was the hardest thing to build (LuaLaTeX and CJK rendering was a nightmare to debug), but it means Shortlist actually works for international job seekers, not just English speakers. What I'd love from you: - Try it out (there's a free tier, no card needed) - Tell me what breaks or feels weird - If you've applied to jobs internationally, I'd especially love your feedback on the translation feature Thanks for checking it out. Happy to answer anything here.

I forgot to mention, the 39-language support includes African and European languages like Swahili and German respectively. That was the hardest part to get right in the LaTeX engine!
