Resume optimization that doesn't lie

Maya R., Head of Product·Jun 11, 2026·6 min read

There's a lazy version of AI resume writing that invents skills, backdates roles, and stuffs keywords the candidate has never touched. It gets past a keyword filter. It also collapses in the first screen.

Peza takes the opposite stance: every claim on a Peza-generated resume has to be grounded in the parsed profile. If it's not in your history, it can't appear in the output.

In practice, that constraint pushes the model to do the interesting work, re-ordering bullets by relevance, promoting projects that map cleanly to the JD, sharpening verbs, quantifying outcomes that were already there.

The result reads like your best resume, tuned for this role, not a fabrication that recruiters have already learned to spot.
