The evidence for tailoring is structural: recruiters search postings'' own vocabulary, ranking algorithms score against the job description, and a generic CV loses both contests. The constraint that matters: tailoring rewords and reprioritizes what is true, it never invents. Inflated titles and fabricated skills fail at reference checks and interviews, which is why Yalliq''s tailoring engine enforces anti-fabrication rules. Doing this by hand per application is 30-plus minutes, which is why almost nobody does, and why the few who do stand out. The keyword method: ATS guide.
Tailored CV
A tailored CV is a version of your CV rewritten for one specific job posting: the summary mirrors the role's top requirements, achievement bullets are reordered and reworded toward its priorities, and the posting's exact keywords appear where they are true. Tailoring is what moves a CV from parseable to findable.
