I launched a product yesterday, incase you missed it.

It's called Useresumate. It helps job seekers get past ATS filters.

Let me tell you why I built it.

A friend of mine applied to 50 jobs last year.

He's a senior product designer with 10 years of experience. Great portfolio. Strong references.

He got 3 callbacks.

Not because he wasn't qualified. Because his resume never reached a human.

Over 90% of large companies use Applicant Tracking Systems.
These are algorithms that scan your resume before any recruiter sees it.

Wrong keywords? Filtered out.
Wrong format? Filtered out.
Missing a specific phrase from the job description?
Filtered out.

You could be the perfect candidate.
But if your resume doesn't speak ATS language, you're invisible.

I've spent over 13 years in product design. I currently work at Amazon, worked at Booking.com in The Netherlands, and Etisalat (Lagos-Nigeria).
I've seen how systems create invisible barriers. How small friction points eliminate good people.

The job application process has a massive friction point. And most candidates don't even know it exists.

So I built a tool that fixes it.

→ Upload your resume.
→ Paste a job descripton.
→ Get an optimized version that matches what the ATS is looking for.

Not keyword stuffing.

Actual rewriting that sounds like you, but speaks the language these systems want to hear.

It's free to try. 3 optimizations per month. No credit card required.

I'm building this in public.
I'll share what I learn about the job market, what's working, what's not, and how AI is changing how we apply for jobs.

If you know someone stuck in the application black hole, send them this email. It might save them months of frustration.
