FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is CVSet?
CVSet helps you tailor your CV to a specific job. It scores your CV, shows what to improve, and prepares your whole application.
Who is CVSet for?
Anyone applying for jobs. It works best if you already have a CV and a job description to work from.
What do I need before I start?
Two things: your current CV, and the job description you are applying to. You can also score your CV on its own first.
What file types can I upload?
PDF and DOCX. You can download your finished CV in either format.
What do I get for free?
Your general CV score and one CV analysis session. Tailoring and the Application Support need a paid plan.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Your CV, applications and progress are saved to your account so you can return to them.
Can I use CVSet without a job description?
Yes. Score and analyse your CV on its own. Add a job description when you are ready to tailor.
How does the CV score work?
CVSet scores your CV across nine areas. Each area covers a different part, so nothing is counted twice. You can see all nine on the Analysis page.
What is the difference between analysis and tailoring?
Analysis improves your CV in general. Tailoring adjusts it for one job across five areas: Skills, Keywords, Language, Prioritisation and Quality.
What is in the Application Support?
Your tailored CV, a cover letter, interview questions, first-call prep questions and a follow-up email. All written for that job.
Does CVSet check my personal statement?
Yes. Your personal statement has its own section, and every scoring area is applied to it as a whole.
What is the AI Report?
It looks across your completed applications and shows the skills that keep appearing in the roles you target. It needs five completed applications.
So what does CVSet actually change?
Think of it as a career coach for your whole job search, not just your CV. It analyses your CV from several angles, then reorders, rewords and highlights what you already have. It optimises your CV in general, then tailors the language to match each job description. From there, it builds your cover letter and interview prep, so you can focus on the interview itself.
Will my CV pass an ATS?
Every company sets up its scanning software differently, and those settings are not public. CVSet works to the general standards most systems follow, then matches your CV to your job description.
Why did my score change when I ran the same CV again?
CVSet uses AI, which generates every result fresh. Scores and suggestions can shift slightly. The main findings stay the same.
Do I have to accept every suggestion?
No. Accept the ones you agree with and skip the rest. Your CV stays yours.
Can I edit a suggestion myself?
Not inside CVSet. Download your finished CV as a DOCX file and make your edits there.
How much does CVSet cost?
Weekly gives you seven days of unlimited tailoring; Monthly gives you thirty. Current prices are in the pricing section above. We quote in your local currency where we support it and in US dollars otherwise — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout.
Will I be charged automatically?
No. There is no subscription and no auto-renewal. Every purchase is one-off, so there is nothing to cancel.
Do my credits expire?
Yes. Credits last for the length of your plan, then expire.
What if I run out of credits?
Buy another plan to top up. Your saved work stays in your account.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if you hit a bug or something is wrong with your results. Send us screenshots and we will refund you in credits or to your card.
Is my CV private?
Yes. CVSet follows GDPR. We do not sell your data and we do not share it.
Do you use my CV to train AI models?
No. We do not train AI models. CVSet uses leading models from established providers, and your data is not used to train them.
How long do you keep my data?
Thirty days after your most recent purchase. After that it is deleted.
What happens to my work after that?
It is deleted with the rest of your data. Download any CVs or Application Supports you want to keep.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes. Open Settings in your dashboard and delete your account there.
