Why people switch from Teal
Recruiters scan fast — relevance has to be instant
Recruiters spend only 6–8 seconds on the first pass. Your relevance needs to jump off the page instantly, not hide behind generic descriptions. Specific Resume puts your qualifications for this exact role on page one.
They’re looking for match, not biography
Recruiters want proof you can do this job — not your full career story. A tailored resume that mirrors the role beats a longer one that doesn’t. Specific Resume selects and emphasizes what matters for each application.
Wrong words, wrong pile
If your experience fits but you’re not using their language, you won’t get considered. Specific Resume mirrors the role’s vocabulary so your fit is obvious to both recruiters and ATS systems.
Your profile builds up — each resume gets easier
With template builders, you start from scratch every time. Specific Resume remembers your experience, so each new application just needs a job description and a few answers.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Specific Resume really different from a template builder?
- Yes. Template builders are form-based editors where you fill in fields and pick a design. Specific Resume works like a conversation — you paste the job description, the AI interviews you, and it builds a tailored resume around that specific role. Every line is selected and worded to match what the recruiter is screening for.
- Will my resume look professional?
- Absolutely. The exported PDF uses clean typography, minimalist design, and a structured layout that’s both visually polished for human recruiters and easily parsed by Applicant Tracking Systems.
- How long does it take to create a resume?
- Your first resume takes a few minutes as the AI learns about your background. After that, each new resume is faster because your profile is already built — you just need to provide the job description and answer a few targeted questions.
