Career Guide
Project: January 2025 — November 2025
Role: Product Owner
Status: Completed
Project description
The job search process in the IT industry is for candidates:
- time-consuming,
- chaotic,
- based on manually matching CVs to dozens of offers.
Candidates often:
- don't know which offers are actually suited to their profile,
- send the same CV to different companies,
- waste time on document revisions without feedback.
The market lacked a tool that simultaneously analyzes CVs and job requirements and indicates the best matches automatically.
Solution
Career Guide is an intelligent platform using AI algorithms that shortens the path from CV to a matched job offer.
The system:
- analyzes the user's CV content,
- compares it with hundreds of job offers,
- calculates percentage match of profile to listings,
- enables generating CV tailored to a specific offer,
- supports the user through an AI assistant.
The product was designed as a scalable tool for a broad group of IT candidates.
