Questions and answers

Everything people ask us most often, in one place. Pick a topic or scroll through the list.

Getting started

Do I need to be good with computers to use this?

No. The hardest part is typing your own experience in, about like setting up an account on a job board. The rest is pressing buttons. The browser add-on is coming soon to the Chrome Web Store. You install it once, and after that it turns on by itself when you open a posting.

How long does the first CV take?

The longest part is filling in your profile, and you do that once. After that a CV for a specific posting takes a few minutes, together with the cover letter and the check on whether it gets past the recruitment robot. Every later one is faster, because your experience is already there. The cover letter is part of Pro and Max. The free plan includes one CV check, and Pro and Max give you several every month.

Does this work for my job?

Yes. Many tools like this look as if they were built only for developers, but Cvizo works the same for a warehouse worker, a nurse, a teacher, an accountant, a designer, a driver and a salesperson. The list of occupations in the app is based on an international occupation classification, not on a list of tech job titles. The CV is written from your experience and the posting's text, so the industry does not change how it works.

Applying for you

Can Cvizo apply to jobs for me?

Yes. There are two modes. The default is fill and review: Cvizo fills in the form in your own browser and hands it back to you, so you check it and press send yourself. The other is full auto, which you have to switch on. Then Cvizo presses send, but only when it judges the form to be complete. When it is not, it stops and leaves the filled-in form for you to finish.

What happens if a form asks something Cvizo does not know?

It stops and hands the tab back to you. It does not guess at a required field that is not in your profile. Better that you type one line yourself than that an invented answer goes to an employer.

Does it work on job boards where I have to log in?

Yes, because it runs in your own browser, where you are already logged in. It never asks for your job-board password, never stores it and never sends it anywhere. At a login screen and at a captcha it stops and hands the tab back to you.

Will a recruiter think my application is spam?

Every CV is written for that one posting, and Cvizo shows you straight away where you match the requirements and what to emphasise, so the application you send is tailored to the posting. By default you review it before it goes. The tool will not make you a candidate you are not, but it makes sure your strengths are visible from the first paragraph.

Can I get banned from LinkedIn or Indeed?

Cvizo works in your own browser, on pages you open, and by default it stops before sending so the last click is yours. The board sees a normal signed-in user applying at their own pace. A robot logging into your account from someone else's server looks very different. If a particular board matters to you, stay in fill and review.

Does Cvizo know my LinkedIn or Indeed password?

No. The add-on works in your own browser, on pages you open yourself. When a board asks you to sign in, the add-on leaves the tab to you and waits until you have.

Which browser does it work in?

Chrome. It also works in Edge, Brave and other browsers built on Chromium.

CVs and templates

Does every application use the same CV?

No. Each one gets a CV written for that specific posting, leaning on the experience that posting actually asks for. That is the difference between Cvizo and a tool that sends one file to a thousand places.

Won't an AI-written CV look artificial?

The content comes from what you typed into your profile. The AI arranges it for the specific posting and leans on what the posting asks for. Before it is saved you see the whole thing and can edit any sentence.

What is "checking whether my CV gets past the recruitment robot"?

At larger companies your CV is read first by recruitment software rather than a person. It looks for words from the posting in your document and orders candidates on that basis. Cvizo runs the same comparison on your own device, without AI and without sending anything: it shows a percentage, which words from the posting it found in your CV, and which are missing. You can add the missing ones, if you genuinely have that experience.

Does the check send my CV to an AI?

Partly. The score and most of the notes are worked out on your own computer. For the AI review we send the text of your CV with your contact details taken out: the e-mail address, phone number and address are removed before it leaves. The AI provider does not train on it and deletes it within 30 days at most.

Jobs and matching

Which job boards are supported?

You paste a posting from any board, a company careers page or a referral into the app, as a link or as text, and the CV is written for that offer. The browser add-on, coming soon to the Chrome Web Store, saves a posting from a board in one click and fills in the application form.

Are Pracuj.pl postings on the list?

No, because Pracuj.pl does not allow its postings to be moved to other services. You can still paste any Pracuj.pl posting into the app, or save it in one click with the add-on once it is in the Chrome Web Store, and use everything else Cvizo offers on it.

Do you keep a record of what I search for?

No. Your criteria are used only for the search you just ran. We do not store them on the server.

Board, calendar and mock interview

Do I need a Google account?

No. Everything works the same without one, your dates just stay inside Cvizo.

Will Cvizo remind me about an interview?

Cvizo does not send reminders of its own. If you connect Google Calendar, you can set them there, the same as for any other event.

Can anyone else see the conversation?

No. Employers cannot see it, and nothing from it goes on your card.

Your data and privacy

Who can see my CV?

Nobody, until you send it. Your CV is encrypted on your device, and what sits on the server is an unreadable string. Employers on Cvizo see nothing until you publish a card yourself, and even then the card carries no name, photo, email or phone number. An employer gets your CV only when you have accepted a contact request and sent it to them yourself.

Do you read my CV?

Not the CVs you store. Your profile, CVs and application log are encrypted on your device before anything reaches us, and we do not have the key that opens them.

AI features are the exception. When you generate or check a CV, the text that task needs passes through our server to an AI model. We do not store it and nobody at Cvizo reads it. The next question has the details.

We collect statistics on which features you use only with your consent. There is no CV text, no posting text, no search terms, no name, email or phone number. You withdraw consent in Settings, under Privacy & Analytics. The choice is saved on your account, so it applies on every device.

What does the AI get, and does it learn from my CV?

Only what the task needs: for a CV, your experience, your skills and the posting. Your email, phone number, address and profile links are not sent, and for CV generation your name and employer names are swapped for placeholders too.

We use OpenAI and Anthropic through their paid APIs. They do not train on this data and delete it within 30 days at most. Our server stores none of it. We do not use AI providers based in China.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

We delete the account and everything attached to it: your encrypted records, your cards, your contact requests and your conversations, on both sides. An active subscription is cancelled at the same moment, and one button in Settings downloads your data first if you want it. Two exceptions: usage statistics that already reached us disappear on their own within 14 days (they cannot be pulled out one by one, because they are not tagged with your name), and problem reports you sent us. Those live outside our database and are deleted 24 months after they are closed, or sooner if you ask.

I forgot my password. Can I recover my data?

If you have your recovery code, yes. We show it once when you create the account and ask you to write it down. That code opens your data independently of your password, so after a password reset you enter the code and everything comes back.

If you lose both the password and the recovery code, nobody can recover the data, us included, because we keep no spare key. That is the price of nobody but you being able to open your CV. You can create a new account, but the encrypted contents are gone.

Plans and payment

What do I get for free?

2 CVs a month, 25 AI uses a month, 20 saved postings, 1 card for employers and one CV check. Your CVs use the Classic or the Minimal template. The limits renew on the 1st of each month, and we send a short e-mail when they do, which you can turn off. The CV check is the exception: you get it once and it does not renew. Form filling, application tracking and encryption work on every plan, the free one included.

Do I need a card to sign up? Can I cancel any time, and what happens to my data then?

No. You create an account with no card and stay on the free plan as long as you like. There is no trial that quietly turns into a payment after a week. You can cancel a paid plan at any time and go back to the free one. Your data stays, only the limits change. Deleting your data is a separate, deliberate step: Settings, then delete account.

Do I have to pay for a card?

No. One card comes with the free plan.
