Executive Summary

Many job seekers and career services waste hours tailoring resumes or simply submit generic CVs that struggle to pass keyword-driven applicant tracking systems; there are roughly 150 million active annual job seekers facing this tradeoff between time and effectiveness. As a result, candidates and coaches spend disproportionate time on low-margin work and often lack measurable ways to show improved interview rates. Build an AI-powered tool that ingests a user’s CV and a job posting and produces an ATS-optimized, quantified, and tailored CV in seconds, with presets for tone and length, editable suggestions, and browser/ATS integrations for one-click submission. Monetize with low-price consumer subscriptions aligned to a $32 ARPU and higher-margin B2B licenses for career coaches and outplacement firms. This targets a $4.8B market (150M × $32 ARPU/year) at a moment when improvements in AI text generation and increasing ATS reliance both lower time-to-value and raise the ROI of targeted CVs. Career services are also productizing their offerings, giving strong distribution and enterprise upsell paths. You can differentiate by combining high-quality, editable AI rewrites with robust ATS parsing, A/B-tested templates, and outcome tracking (interview/callback lift) that proves ROI to users and enterprise buyers. Key challenges are maintaining factual accuracy and avoiding overstatement, ensuring privacy/compliance, and defending against incumbents—so validate interview-rate impact and build sticky integrations before scaling broadly.
