Help & FAQ
The quick answers to how PrecisionApply works. Still stuck? Contact us.
What does PrecisionApply do?
It helps you apply to fewer, better-targeted jobs. For each role you add, it can tailor your resume to the listing in your own formatting, score how well you fit, and draft a cover letter, screening-question answers, likely interview questions, and a networking play.
What makes the ATS resume different from other tools?
Most tools pour your text into their own template. When you upload your resume (PDF or Word), we keep your original design. Your fonts, spacing and layout stay put, and we only retune the wording for the job, flagging every line we changed. The file you download looks like your resume, not ours.
How is the fit score calculated?
We score your resume against the listing on four axes: skills, experience depth, requirement coverage, and seniority. Those are averaged into a score out of 100, alongside the keywords you're missing. It's tuned to be honest rather than flattering, so it's actually useful for deciding what's worth applying to.
Do I have to upload my resume, or can I paste it?
Either works for every tool. Uploading is the only way to unlock the format-preserving ATS resume, since a pasted resume has no layout to keep. You can save one default resume in Settings so every new job starts pre-filled.
What are Screening Answers?
Paste the free-text questions from an application (“Why this company?”, “Describe a time…”) and we draft an honest, first-person answer to each, grounded in your real experience when a resume is present.
Do the Networking Tips give me real people's names?
No, and that's deliberate. Instead of guessing names (which risks getting them wrong), it finds the real overlaps you have with the company from your resume, tells you who actually influences the hire, gives exact searches to find them, and drafts a message per person-type.
Is my data private?
Your jobs and resume are tied to your account and aren't visible to other users. Each request is checked server-side against your session.
