# CV & Résumé Summarizer

Turn a two- or five-page CV into a neutral one-paragraph profile plus the facts a recruiter scans for — roles and dates, achievements with numbers, education, skills and languages. Useful for shortlists, hiring panels and your own résumé.

## Key facts

- Output: current or target role, years and areas of experience, employers and roles with dates, achievements with numbers, education, skills, languages.
- Neutral, factual tone — no judgement or ranking of the candidate.
- Handy for shortlists, hiring-panel briefs, LinkedIn “About” drafts and checking how your own CV reads.
- Ask “Has the candidate managed a team?” — answers cite the page.
- Free; the CV is deleted after processing.

## What the summary covers

- **Profile line** — current or target role and total years of experience.
- **Experience** — employers, roles and dates, most recent first.
- **Achievements** — results with numbers when the CV gives them.
- **Education and certifications.**
- **Core skills and languages.**

The tool is instructed to stay factual: it reports what the CV says and never evaluates the person, guesses age, nationality or other personal characteristics.

## How to summarize a résumé

1. **Upload the CV as PDF** — Exported from Word, a CV builder or LinkedIn.
2. **Keep “CV / résumé” selected** — The Mixed format gives a profile paragraph followed by bullet points.
3. **Ask role-specific questions** — “What experience with Python is mentioned?”, “Any people-management experience?”.
4. **Paste the profile** — Into your ATS notes, a panel brief or an email to the hiring manager.

## For job seekers

Upload your own CV to see what a quick reader takes away from it. If the summary misses your strongest achievement, it is probably buried — move it up or add a number. You can also ask for a 3-line professional summary to use at the top of your CV or on LinkedIn, then edit it in your own voice.

> **Reviewing a stack of CVs?** — Get a neutral, comparable profile for each one in seconds.

## Responsible use

AI summaries can help a human reviewer go faster; they should not decide who gets hired. Read the full CV of anyone you shortlist or reject, and make sure your use complies with the employment and data-protection rules that apply to you — informing candidates when tools process their data where required.

## FAQ

### Does it rank or score candidates?

No. It produces a neutral summary of what the CV contains. Decisions stay with the human reviewer.

### Can it handle CVs in other languages?

Yes. A CV in Spanish or German can be summarized in English (or any of 20 languages) to share with an international team.

### Will it guess personal information?

No. It is instructed to report only professional facts written in the CV and not to infer personal characteristics.

### Can it write my LinkedIn summary?

Ask in the Q&A tab for a short professional summary based on your CV, then rewrite it in your own words.

### Is the CV stored?

The PDF is deleted after text extraction and the text after 60 minutes. Nothing is used to train AI models.
