The Forge Method™
It does the heavy lifting. You steer the result.
Nine visible steps. Hover or tap a step to see what it does, and what's yours to decide.
Resume Clean-up
HeatIt: cleans and enriches your resume: fixes the formatting, standardizes the layout so it parses, and more.
You: upload your resume.
Tools that missed a formatting problem a parser choked on. Clean first, so nothing else you do gets lost on the way in.
What you see
The Big Three: what a recruiter reads first
Your skills, your headline and your summary. The method builds all three for this job, in steps 03, 05 and 06, so a hiring manager can see you're the fit without reading the whole page.
The skills that matter, accurately represented on your resume.
A good headline shows the hiring manager at a glance that you are a good fit for the role.
An elevator pitch at the top of your resume on why you are a good fit for the role.
The rules are built in. You can stop reading the tips.
Every article about resumes contradicts the last one. The best practices are already in the steps, so you never have to learn them, and every step opens with a plain note on what happens here and why.
Every job you tailor for makes the next one start ahead
When a session finishes, the skills, bullets and numbers you confirmed are written back into your base resume as a new version. The next run starts from further ahead: new skills, new bullets, new metrics. A requirement you answered last time shows as covered this time.
You always know where you are, and what moved
Each section of your resume is color-coded in the workspace, and every new skill, bullet and number shows up bolded in the resume panel as you work. Nothing changes behind your back.

It won't read like a chatbot. And nothing gets invented.
74% of hiring managers say they can spot an AI-generated resume, and 57% say they're less likely to hire when it looks fully AI-written (Resume Genius, April 2024). Here is what answers that, and how you can check it.
The AI Audit
It runs at setup and again on every tailored version: a score for how natural the language reads, before and after, and the swaps you accept or skip.
Built to present the truth
Every number and skill must trace back to something you confirmed. Enforced in code on every rewrite, with no setting to turn it off.
It explains its own edits
Every structural fix says what moved and why, in one plain line, with the reason cited. No "fixed formatting."
What it isn't
Not an easy button. Only you know you. AI doesn't. You control the outcome.
Not a mass applier. We make it easier for the recruiter, not harder. More effort isn't the solution. Better effort is.
Not a template tool. It doesn't make your resume "pretty." It makes it fit.
Not a keyword stuffer. We build an argument. We don't game a scanner.
What it is: an argument for why your skills and experience make you the best person for THIS job.
