Executive Summary

Job seekers and career coaches waste hours manually tailoring resumes, and power users who submit to many roles often need to iterate dozens of times to optimize ATS keyword matching and phrasing; that process is tedious, inconsistent, and difficult to measure. Employers’ reliance on ATS and keyword filters means small wording changes can materially affect pass rates, so many qualified candidates are routinely filtered out for cosmetic language issues. Build a SaaS product (web app + browser extension) that ingests job descriptions, uses LLMs to generate multiple tailored resume variants and targeted bullet rewrites, runs ATS keyword scoring and A/B testing, and tracks interview conversion so users can rapidly iterate dozens of versions. Offer subscription pricing with an “unlimited monthly” tier for heavy iterators, plus templates, workflows, and integrations to import postings and export application-ready files. This is a timely market: roughly 40M active annual job-seekers × $200 willingness-to-pay implies an $8.0B TAM, and LLMs plus accepted subscription models make per-application tailoring economically viable now (market score 88/100; revenue potential 80/100). You can differentiate by focusing on speed and measurable ROI for power users—fast multi-variant generation, ATS-aware optimization, and analytics that tie resume variants to interview outcomes—rather than one-off edits. Be upfront that competition is medium and you’ll need strong prompt engineering, reliable ATS-scoring, and integrations, but the path to a high-ARPU, defensible product is practical and the potential payback per user is compelling.
