Hey HN,

I created an all-in-one platform to help job seekers build their resume, track job applications, and prepare for interviews.

I built this mainly because the current tools for job seekers pale in comparison to the tools recruiters use to field candidates.

Would love to know what you think!

My main concern would be that the company systems are being updated to catch AI generated applications / letters, because things like this are a dime-a-dozen, and companies are getting flooded with "artificial" applications

What are your thoughts on this thorny issue?

So rad. There are way too many tools on the recruiter side, and virtually none on the applicant-side. Will definitely be using this in my next job search.

Great callout!

Our goal is to equip jobseekers with as much help as possible. We will try our best to make our tools not sound like every other AI generated response but more importantly, we want to help jobseekers get 90% of the way there with Canyon and have them do 1/10th of the work for better results.

Hope thats helpful!
