Why “great feedback” is failing you
You've uploaded your CV to 3 different tools. You got a score of 78/100 on one. “Excellent” on another. A nice list of improvements on a third.
And you're still not getting interviews.
The problem isn't that your CV is bad. The problem is that none of those tools told you the truth.
“Your professional summary is excellent! Consider adding more industry keywords to improve ATS matching. Overall, this is a strong CV with great potential. Keep up the good work!”
Comforting. Useless.
“Your summary reads like it was written for a junior role, but you're targeting senior positions. A recruiter in fintech would stop reading here. Here's exactly why — and how to fix it.”
Brutal. Actionable.

Most tools were built to keep you coming back. Bluntly was built to get you out — into your next job.
The cost of soft feedback
Every week you spend applying with a flawed CV is a week you could have spent interviewing.
That's the average number of CVs a recruiter receives per role. Yours has 6 seconds to make an impression — or it doesn't.
Not because they're bad. Because they're not optimized for how ATS systems parse documents. Keywords aren't enough.
Most of that time is wasted applying with a CV that hasn't been honestly reviewed. One honest session could save you months.
Soft feedback feels good. Honest feedback gets results.
If you're serious about your next role, you need to hear what recruiters actually think — not what an algorithm thinks you want to hear.
Built different. On purpose.
Five decisions that separate Bluntly from every other CV tool.
Brutal Honesty
We don't soften the truth. We tell you exactly where your CV fails — and why — so you can fix it. Not to make you feel better. To get you hired.
Context-Aware
Tell us your sector, level, and target market. Your feedback is calibrated for your specific situation — not a generic template that fits everyone and helps no one.
Recruiter Mindset
Powered by Claude Sonnet with extended thinking. Not a quick scan. A reasoned review from an AI that thinks like a senior hiring manager reviewing hundreds of CVs.
Deep ATS Analysis
Beyond keyword matching. We check parsing reliability, section structure, formatting risks — everything that can go wrong before a human ever sees your CV.
Privacy-First
Your CV is never used for AI training and never shared. It's stored securely to power your analysis history — and only you can access it.

This is the kind of feedback Bluntly delivers. Not a score. Not a checklist. An honest assessment of what's wrong and how to fix it.

Strong tech stack, but zero business impact.
Top issues
01 EXPERIENCE
Every bullet ends with a task, not an outcome. “Built CI/CD pipeline” → “Reduced deploy time from 4h to 8min, unblocking 6 engineers.” That's a hire.
02 ATS
“Node.js” appears once. The job spec says it 9 times. You'll be filtered before a human sees your name.
03 GAPS
10-month gap (Mar 2023–Jan 2024) with no explanation. A recruiter will assume the worst. Address it in your summary.
04 SUMMARY
“Passionate developer with 6 years experience” — I see this on every CV today. Replace with your actual speciality + one proof point.
* Illustrative example. Actual feedback is calibrated to your specific CV, sector, level, and market.
