Simplify.jobs is a useful platform for job research, offering valuable insights and job recommendations. However, its resume building feature needs improvement. The available templates are basic and lack sophistication for professional careers. Additionally, the AI-generated suggestions for resume customization seem disingenuous. The strategy of adding adjectives to enhance resume appeal is short-sighted, as it may lead to discrepancies between the resume and actual skills demonstrated during interviews. This could potentially undermine the credibility of job seekers during the interview process.
Recently messed up their skills section script, which was previously working. Now it just continually adds skills even though there is a skill cap, which locks the UX into a loop you cannot escape.

Sometimes, certain ATS may push updates that break our Copilot. We rely on user reports to fix these bugs!

Very easy to sign up, fill out the info, and add as a chrome extension. The way it's set up is also nice and simple to understand and use. It makes applying to jobs a lot faster!
