Where Cursu is different
- It starts from the job. You add a job, see its score, tailor your resume to it and review every change.
- You review every tailoring change. Each one can be unticked or edited.
- Every job you save is scored. It doesn't matter how it arrived: pasted links or a job you typed in.
- A free posting-date checker. Paste a company job link to see when it was first published, when it was last updated (Greenhouse only) and whether it's still open. No account needed.
