Free job-search tools
Free tools before you pay for anything.
Start with fast, rule-based checks that do not require an account or a paid AI call. Use them to spot resume problems, keyword gaps, cover-letter issues, job-post risks, and file conversion needs before deciding whether to tailor your application pack.
These tools are intentionally free diagnostics and utilities. They help users find the problem first. When they want the problem fixed with generated documents, the next step is HireDraftAI's tailored CV and cover-letter workflow.
How the free tools stack works
