How the agent runs it
User uploads resume and pastes job description. Agent rewrites resume with matched keywords, restructures experience bullets to use STAR format, and produces an ATS-optimized version with a match score.
Who this is for
This business is ideal for career coaches, HR consultants, or freelance writers who already understand resume best practices and ATS mechanics. It's also perfect for solo entrepreneurs or agency owners looking to add a high-margin, repeatable service without significant overhead. If you've helped others land interviews or understand how hiring systems work, you have the foundational knowledge to succeed here.
Market opportunity
The job market remains competitive with 75% of resumes filtered out by ATS systems before human review, creating urgent demand for optimization. LinkedIn reports over 900 million users actively job-seeking, and resume services are among the fastest-growing gig economy offerings, with the career coaching market growing 10%+ annually. Remote work and job-switching trends mean more people than ever are actively updating and tailoring their resumes.

Getting started
- 1 Set up Claude API and payment infrastructureSign up for Anthropic's Claude API and integrate Stripe for payment processing. This ensures you can handle transactions securely and use a capable LLM to power the resume rewriting engine without building from scratch.
- 2 Build a simple landing page with formUse Carrd or Next.js to create a one-page site with an upload form for resumes and a text box for job descriptions. Include clear value messaging (e.g., 'Resumes that pass ATS filters') and pricing tiers to drive conversions.
- 3 Design the resume optimization promptWrite a detailed Claude prompt that extracts keywords from job descriptions, rewrites bullet points in STAR format, and outputs both a rewritten resume and a match percentage score. Test it manually with 5-10 real job postings to refine accuracy.
- 4 Set up a database to store outputsUse Supabase to store user resumes, job descriptions, and generated outputs securely. This enables a freemium model with watermarked free samples and premium unlimited access, plus gives you data to improve the service over time.
- 5 Launch with beta pricing and gather feedbackOffer the first 20 users a discounted rate or free trial in exchange for detailed feedback on clarity, usefulness, and any keywords they felt were missed. Use this feedback to refine your prompt and positioning before scaling to paid acquisition.
