The First 24 Hours
Data from LinkedIn shows that 50% of applications happen within the first 24 hours of a job posting. If you wait until the weekend to update your resume, you are already fighting for scraps.

makecv.ai changes the equation. 1. Monday Morning: You see a notification for a Senior Dev role. 2. Monday, 9:05 AM: You paste the job link into makecv.ai. 3. Monday, 9:06 AM: You download a perfectly tailored PDF highlighting your relevant stack. 4. Monday, 9:07 AM: You apply.Quality at Scale
Speed usually means sloppy. But with our ATS-Check, you are actually submitting a higher quality application than the manual writers. You are hitting every keyword, every time.
Don't wait. In this market, speed is the difference between "Application Received" and "When can you interview?"
