Simplify.jobs is a useful platform for job research, offering valuable insights and job recommendations. However, its resume building feature needs improvement. The available templates are basic and lack sophistication for professional careers. Additionally, the AI-generated suggestions for resume customization seem disingenuous. The strategy of adding adjectives to enhance resume appeal is short-sighted, as it may lead to discrepancies between the resume and actual skills demonstrated during interviews. This could potentially undermine the credibility of job seekers during the interview process.
Recently messed up their skills section script, which was previously working. Now it just continually adds skills even though there is a skill cap, which locks the UX into a loop you cannot escape. Test your changes before you release them.
Helpful service, however, avoid their job board feature. Many of the roles are weeks, if not months, old. And they provide no way to filter out listings based on this information.
