CASE STUDY 03 / CAREER INTELLIGENCE

Live · evolving

SharpCV

Make a stronger application from what is actually true.

An evidence-grounded career platform that connects a person’s achievements to job requirements, tailored application material and an organised search.

WHO IT IS FOR

Experienced professionals who want to explain their real strengths clearly across roles and markets.

MY ROLE

Founder and product builder · workflow design · evidence and approval controls

The problem

Job seekers often have years of useful experience scattered across documents. Generic AI rewriting can make the prose sound better while inventing metrics, overstating a skill or failing to address the role. A polished document is only one part of an effective search.

The approach

SharpCV starts with an Achievement Bank: a structured record of the person’s experience. Job requirements are compared with that record, and application material is drafted from the evidence provided.

The product distinguishes candidate fit from résumé representation. Improving how a document explains experience does not magically create a qualification or close a real capability gap. Unsupported claims are flagged, and the user reviews the material.

The workflow extends into cover letters, research, outreach preparation, interviews and application tracking. Career intelligence helps prioritise next actions with reasons attached. External messages remain subject to approval.

HOW THE WORK FITS TOGETHER

  1. 01Import career evidence
  2. 02Build the Achievement Bank
  3. 03Match a role
  4. 04Review tailored material
  5. 05Prepare outreach and interviews
  6. 06Track outcomes

Inside the product

Traceable application material

Generated claims connect back to achievements supplied by the candidate. The application engine includes checks intended to block unsupported résumé lines.

Fit and gaps

Compare the evidence with the role and distinguish missing documentation from experience the candidate still needs to develop.

One search workflow

Carry a role through preparation, application, interview and recorded outcome, rather than treating each document as a separate task.

Career intelligence

Source-aware market research, career-direction suggestions, relationship organisation and permission-controlled assistance support the broader search.

A CLEAR VIEW OF READINESS

What is ready.
What still needs work.

  • The website and free entry point are live. Paid checkout was temporarily unavailable at the portfolio’s September 2026 review.
  • Evidence grounding depends on the quality of the candidate’s own source material; it is not independent employer verification.
  • No interview, job offer, ATS ranking or employment outcome is guaranteed.
  • The product continues to evolve; automated marketing and every optional integration are not claimed as fully operational.

What comes next

Improve evidence quality, validate the complete user journey and use recorded search outcomes to make the recommendations more useful.

WHAT THIS PROJECT SAYS ABOUT MY WORK

The strongest version of a career story is specific, relevant and defensible. AI should make the truth easier to see.

Status reviewed September 2026. Descriptions distinguish implemented work, public demonstrations and remaining validation.
