Why GrinderResume
Built for candidates who want to send one thoughtful, grounded application that gets interviews rather than 500 mass blasts.
Zero Hallucinations Guarantee
We never fabricate candidate achievements, imaginary metrics, or fake companies. If a required skill is missing from your experience, our assistant alerts you to address it honestly rather than hallucinating false claims.
Live Primary-Source Research
Instead of relying on stale job aggregator databases, GrinderResume checks official company domains and ATS boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday) live with Tavily intelligence.
Single-State PDF & Word Geometry
What you see in the live paginated editor is exactly what gets exported. The editor, thumbnail generator, PDF engine, and DOCX generator share one single validated layout state.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GrinderResume, demo checks, privacy, and resume tailoring.
What is GrinderResume?
GrinderResume is a research-grounded career intelligence platform and private resume editor. Instead of mass-spamming generic applications or hallucinating credentials, GrinderResume studies specific employers and live job postings via Tavily and public ATS systems, discovers true requirements, and helps you tailor your resume strictly using your verified real-world experience.
How does the free demo mode work?
Visitors get 3 free AI checks per day without needing their own API keys. Free demo checks are processed on the server using owner-scoped Nebius AI (powered by Llama 3.3 70B) and Tavily search, bounded by privacy-safe rate limits. Private keys and tokens never leave the server or reach visitor browsers.
Can I connect my own API keys?
Yes. In the Settings modal ('Connect keys'), you can add your own free Nebius and Tavily API keys anytime. When your own keys are connected, usage is unlimited and calls run directly with your preferred models.
Does GrinderResume invent or fabricate experience on my resume?
No, never. We have a strict zero-hallucination policy. GrinderResume never invents achievements, metrics, companies, or responsibilities. Every recommendation explains the exact requirement from the job posting and maps to actual candidate evidence.
How do resume formatting and exports work?
GrinderResume maintains a single validated resume state across the structured editor, paginated preview, and file downloads. You can export pixel-perfect, ATS-compliant PDF and Word (.docx) files that share identical pagination and geometry without formatting divergence.
Which company careers pages and ATS platforms are supported?
GrinderResume searches official company careers portals and directly scans major ATS boards including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, and Workday, with intelligent live search fallback powered by Tavily.
