Frequently asked questions.
Why not just paste my CV into ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a single, ungoverned shot: no fit scoring, no quality gates, no check that the output reads senior rather than average. Evident runs a quality-checked pipeline: it scores your fit against a specific role before you invest an hour, routes the rewrite through hard quality gates that refuse to ship anything generic or keyword-stuffed, and builds every document from one reviewed profile that you approve. The full kit comes too: cover letter, LinkedIn rewrite and interview prep, per role.
One reviewed profile that builds everything beats a series of single-shot prompts.
What happens to my CV and data?
Your CV and career history are stored only to run your search – never sold, never shared, deleted on request. See our privacy policy for the full details.
Is this cheating? Will it lie on my CV?
No, by design. It only works from experience you actually have. It makes that experience legible to the ATS and the recruiter; it never invents it.
What does it cost?
Evident will be a paid professional tool. The private beta is invitation-only, and pricing is shown to you in full before anything is ever charged. No surprises, no quiet charges.
I'm senior. Won't AI make me sound generic and junior, like every other tool?
That's the precise problem Evident exists to solve. Generic AI optimises for the average candidate, and a senior track record is the opposite of average. Evident turns your duties into proof (what you did, how, and what changed, with a number from your own history) so recruiters read the strategic, senior, specific you – not a flattened sameness.
Won't an AI-written CV just get flagged and rejected?
Evident is built against this exact failure. Recruiters bin CVs that read as machine-written – three in four say they prefer natural language to decontextualised keyword blocks, and a CV flagged for manipulation is 67% less likely to advance even when the person is qualified. Both numbers are sourced in the evidence section above. A governed pipeline with hard gates refuses to ship anything that reads junior, generic, or keyword-stuffed; it's written to sound like a person in a natural, senior register – not the LLM voice recruiters filter out. One gate in action: if a rewrite introduces a claim that isn't in your history, the pipeline rejects it and tries again.
Will it write in my voice?
It writes in a clean, human, senior register grounded in your experience — not an imitation of anyone's personal style. You review, refine, and approve every word, so the final pass is genuinely yours. Voice calibration is coming in a future version.
Will this get me the job?
No tool can honestly promise that. A clear, legible CV gets you past the filter and in front of a human reader. That gets you in the room. Much of the senior market is filled before a role is even posted. Evident's job is to make sure your CV is never the reason you were screened out.
How is this different from Jobscan, Teal, or Rezi?
They're built on one promise: "match your résumé to any role" by reverse-engineering its keywords. That worked until everyone did it. Now recruiters spot the keyword-perfect, AI-written sameness and bin it, and candidates are stuck sending hundreds of applications into silence. Evident does the opposite: it matches you only to the roles worth your time, building on your experience and career goals, so you apply to fewer and actually get read. Send fewer. Get further.
Is this just a CV builder?
No. Building the CV is one half of the product and career intelligence is the other: your profile scored against every kind of role we track, with what is open in each, before you decide where to spend the effort. Around both, Evident runs the workflow: a scored fit-and-gap report for every job you add, a per-role kit (cover letter, LinkedIn rewrite, and interview preparation built around the interviewer that role would actually put in front of you), one pipeline board tracking every application, and an assistant you can ask in plain language. You enter your story once; everything builds from that single reviewed profile.
Can you tell me which fields are growing?
No, and we would rather say so than publish a number we cannot stand behind. We show what is open right now, across every kind of role, and how your profile scores against each of them. Whether a field is rising or falling is a different claim, measured over time, and we do not make it yet. What you get instead is current and checkable: where the roles actually are today, and which of them your experience already fits.
I'm changing careers. Does this work for me?
It is the case the intelligence is built for. Your profile is scored against every kind of role we track, not against the title on your last contract, so directions you would never have searched for come back with a band and a live count. Open one and you see its real requirements checked against your history: what you already answer, and what you do not. A Stretch is shown at the same weight as a Strong, because knowing a direction is a stretch is the useful part.
Who is it for?
The people who feel the filter most acutely: senior operators in transition and mid-career professionals (roughly 5–15 years in and up) applying through ATS portals at volume: anyone whose senior experience gets flattened into generic keywords. Career-switchers and people returning to work benefit too. We're starting where we serve best and expanding from there.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can paste a job description, you can use it.
