Why this exists
A foot in the door the robots keep closing.
I built Resume Scaffold during my own job search, because too many applications were getting filtered out by automated screening before a person ever read them. It's a small, grassroots tool to help the rest of us compete against the applicant-tracking systems that sit in front of most job postings. It worked well enough for me that I wanted to share it.
Every application, in a fraction of the time
Tailoring a resume by hand is a 10–15 minute slog you repeat for every job. Resume Scaffold does it in under a minute.
The usual way
~12 min- •Find the job and read the posting
- •Open a new Google Doc and rework your resume
- •Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude for another pass
- •Copy the edits back and fix the formatting
- •Export a PDF, save it, upload, and apply
With Resume Scaffold
~1 min- ✓Paste the posting (or grab it with the extension)
- ✓Get a tailored, ATS-checked resume from your library
- ✓Export to PDF or Word and apply
The one rule I won't break
It never invents facts about you. Every line in a generated résumé is either copied verbatim from something you approved or lightly adapted from it, and it's tagged so you can tell which. The whole point is beating the gatekeepers without lying, not out-lying them. That's the part I actually care about.
Yours, not invented
Built only from accomplishments you wrote and approved.
Grassroots
No VC, no growth team, no dark patterns. Just a tool that helps.
Made by a job-seeker
Built by someone who needed it, for people who do too. Tell me when it breaks.
