The Enhancv alternative that helps you get interviews, not just a resume

What are Enhancv and Seekario?

AI resume builder: a complete draft, calibrated to your level

The AI Resume Builder is a three-step wizard:

1. Setup. Choose Smart Import, which pre-fills from an existing PDF or DOCX resume or your LinkedIn profile, or build from scratch. You can also add a job description so the resume is matched to one role from the start.
2. Context. Pick your seniority level: Fresh Grad, Junior, Mid-senior, Senior, Director, or Executive. Then write or dictate your "Career Story" in free form. Examples are available if you're stuck.
3. Download. Seekario writes an ATS-friendly resume that rewrites duties into achievements using the STAR method.

The detail that matters most is what happens when information is missing. Seekario doesn't guess. It inserts highlighted placeholders that ask you directly, such as [[METRIC: how many courses or cohorts?]] or [[CONTEXT: what was the company's primary business?]]. You fill in the truth, and the resume stays yours. Every section then opens in an editor with a live preview, and you can export to PDF, DOCX, or Google Docs.

Enhancv takes a different approach. You import a resume or LinkedIn profile, or pick a template, then build section by section with an inline AI assistant, generators, and as-you-type suggestions. Enhancv offers more layout and design control. Seekario gets you to a finished, level-appropriate draft faster, and you can download it as an editable Word file, which Enhancv does not offer.

Honest evaluation: where you actually stand

A match score is only useful if it can come back low. Seekario has two tools for this.

Seekario's AI Resume Audit judges your resume on its own, against a target seniority level you choose. The report includes an overall score with a verdict label (such as "Needs Improvement"); Impact, Structure, and ATS sub-scores; an Action Plan with severity, category, and effort for each item; a Seniority Assessment (such as "Overqualified — detected level: Principal Architect"); a Skills Audit that marks each skill Remove or Prove; and a Bullet Rewrite Engine showing each original bullet, a critique, and an improved version.

Tailoring without faking a fit

The AI Resume Tailor rewrites your whole resume for a specific job ad: structure, wording, and emphasis. Seekario states a full tailor is usually worth 8–14 points on the fit score, and that tailoring takes under two minutes. You can edit or reject every change before you download. Two rules keep it honest:

• It doesn't invent numbers. Where a bullet needs a metric your resume doesn't contain, it inserts [[INSERT_A_METRIC_HERE]] for you to fill in.
• It doesn't pretend you qualify. If your resume doesn't meet a role's non-negotiable requirements, it says so in place of the summary instead of writing one that misrepresents you.

For resumes that are already close, the Lite Tailor produces three sections you can copy: a summary, key achievements, and grouped skills.

Enhancv's One-Click Tailoring is also careful. You choose 3–5 qualifications, and it rewrites the top third of your resume and your bullets, highlighting each change for approval. Enhancv states it uses only your real experience.

Cover letters and selection criteria

The AI Cover Letter writes a one-page letter from the job ad and your resume. It names the specific employer and role and draws on concrete achievements and metrics from your resume. You can choose a tone (Tech, Formal, or Manager) and edit the letter in the same editor as your resume. Enhancv's cover letter generator also builds on your resume and job ad, in a design that matches your resume, with 12 templates.

For government and university roles, Seekario's KSC Response Writer pulls the selection criteria from the job ad, finds matching evidence in your resume, and answers each criterion in STAR format.

Networking, follow-ups, and tracking on one job card

Both tools include a free, unlimited kanban Job Tracker, and both let you save contacts to each job. The difference is what Seekario writes for you.

With AI Networking, you pick a contact, choose LinkedIn message or email, set the goal (for example, requesting an informational interview), and add highlights. The AI writes the message and keeps a history for each contact. Its follow-up messages cover every stage:

• Application Acknowledgment
• Follow-Up After Application
• Thank You After Interview
• Follow-Up After Interview
• Offer Negotiation
• Offer Decline
• Questions to Ask in Interview

Each card also shows a salary estimate with a range and source, company information, and a recommended next step. Enhancv's tracker offers reminders and tasks; a message generator is not listed publicly.

Seekario also turns your resume into a full profile with the AI LinkedIn Profile Builder and offers an AI Headshot Generator.

Interview preparation built from your resume

The AI Interview Assistant generates likely questions from the job ad and your resume, including questions about your own projects. It covers Screening, Behavioural, Technical, and Case interviews. When you launch it from a job card, it adds follow-up questions aimed at your weakest scoring dimension for that job.

You answer by typing or by voice. Every answer gets a score (such as "40% — Weak Answer"), written feedback on content and structure, an AI Recommended Answer built from your own experience, and flags for filler words and rambling.

Enhancv's Interview Help produces a prep report with AI-drafted answers, STAR storylines, and a company brief, plus a voice or text mock interview. Enhancv says the mock interview includes live hints and a scored report.

One application in Seekario, start to finish

1. Import. Save a job in one click with the Chrome extension, or find it through Job Search. The card pulls in salary, company details, and keywords.
2. Score. The card shows your fit score with a Strong, Partial, or Poor fit label. Open the report and start with "the one thing."
3. Tailor. Run the Tailor, fill any [[INSERT_A_METRIC_HERE]] placeholders with real figures, and re-assess.
4. Cover letter. Generate the letter from the same job and resume.
5. Interview. Once you're shortlisted, the recommended-action banner suggests a mock interview and follow-ups. The mock interview adds questions on your weakest dimension for this job.
6. Follow up. Send a "Thank You After Interview" message from the card.
7. Track. The status timeline records when you reached each stage, from Initiated to Hired.
