Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CareerArchitect.
Getting Started
CareerArchitect is an AI-powered career fit analysis tool. You upload your CV, paste a job description, and get a detailed breakdown of how well you match — requirement by requirement. It helps you apply smarter by showing you where you're strong, where the gaps are, and whether a role is worth your time.
Sign up for a free account — no credit card required. Upload your CV, paste any job description, and run your first analysis. You get 5 free credits to try it out.
We support PDF, DOCX, and plain text. Upload whichever format you have — our AI handles the rest.
No. Upload your CV once and it stays in your profile. You can then run multiple job analyses against the same CV, or update your CV at any time.
Analysis & Results
One credit = one CV-to-job comparison. Each time you analyse your CV against a new job description, it uses one credit. Re-viewing past results doesn't cost anything.
Our AI analyses the semantic meaning of your experience against job requirements — not just keywords. It considers context, transferable skills, and experience levels. While no AI is perfect, users report that our assessments closely match the feedback they receive from recruiters.
You'll receive one of three recommendations: Apply (strong match, high confidence), Speculative (partial match, worth considering), or Do Not Apply (significant gaps, likely filtered out). Each is backed by a detailed requirement-by-requirement breakdown.
Yes. Every analysis breaks down each requirement individually, showing whether it's a strong match, partial match, or gap — along with specific evidence from your CV and suggestions for improvement.
Billing & Credits
