Platform guide
Everything CodexCV can do, explained in detail — every step, section, and option. This page is updated every time the platform changes, so it always reflects what's actually here.
What is CodexCV?
Platform overview
CodexCV is an all-in-one platform for building a professional CV, portfolio, and reference letters in Azerbaijani, Russian, English, or Turkish, tracking your job search, and generating cover letters. No design skills needed — just enter your information and the platform handles the rest.
How to get started
You can sign up with an email and password, or with one click using your Google account. Right after signing up, you're taken straight into the CV builder, and you can come back to it anytime — nothing is lost.
Who it's for
It's built for everyone — from recent graduates to experienced professionals — whether you're actively job hunting or just want to update your CV. Every feature is completely free during the launch period.
Look & feel: dark mode, new logo and your privacy choice
Dark mode
The site now comes in two looks: light, and an easy-on-the-eyes dark navy (great in the evening, at night, or when a bright screen tires you). If your phone or computer is set to dark mode, the site opens dark automatically. You can switch any time with the moon/sun button in the top menu next to the language buttons — your choice is remembered. On a phone, open the menu (☰) and, at the bottom under “Theme”, pick “Light”, “Dark” or “Auto” (follow my device); the same choice is in the “Aa” accessibility button in the bottom-left corner. Important: your CV itself, your letters and your PDFs always stay white paper — dark mode only changes how the site looks, never your documents.
The new CodexCV logo
You'll now see our new logo at the top and bottom of the site, on the browser tab (favicon) and in our e-mails: a “C”, a document and a glowing star for AI. There are two versions, one for light mode and one for dark mode, each crisp on its own background. While AI is working on something longer (like a CV review or writing a letter), this star badge gently “breathes” to show the work is in progress.
Using CodexCV on a phone
On a phone, the bottom of the screen has an app-style bar: Home, My CVs (Examples for guests), a big “+ Create” button in the middle, ATS check and Menu. Change the language any time with the “🌐 AZ” button at the top. The menu shows every free tool as a big card, plus language, theme (light/dark), accessibility and feedback. In the CV editor a “Back · Preview · Next” bar always sits at the bottom, so moving between steps never needs a long scroll, and the steps at the top scroll in one row. For long editing a computer is more comfortable: tap “Email me the link” or “Send link to myself” to open the same page on your computer — your work is saved in your account. To save the PDF on a phone, tap “Download PDF” and choose “Save as PDF” as the printer (on iPhone: Print → Share → Save to Files).
Visit statistics and your choice
To keep making the site more useful, we keep our own anonymous visit statistics: which pages are read, how much time is spent and which tools are used (ATS check, examples, PDF). There are no third-party trackers, no ads and no cookies for this, your IP address is not stored and nothing you type is recorded; the data is deleted automatically after 13 months. If your browser sends a Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control signal, nothing is measured. You can also switch it off for your browser in one click with the button at the very bottom of the Privacy Policy page.
Jobs, AI assistants and community (new)
Honest jobs
On the “Jobs” page (codexcv.com/en/jobs) every listing openly states a real salary range (the maximum can't exceed twice the minimum), the hiring steps and within how many days the employer will answer EVERY applicant. A moderator reviews each listing before it goes live; age, gender or appearance requirements and asking candidates to pay are not allowed. Filter by city, field, work mode, level and minimum salary. “Apply” lets you pick one of your CodexCV CVs — the employer sees a copy of it as it was at that moment, the card lands in your job tracker automatically and you get an e-mail whenever the status changes. The employer's on-time answer rate is shown on the listing too.
Employer panel and skill tasks
Posting jobs is free for companies (the “For employers” page; panel: codexcv.com/en/employer). Create a company profile, earn the “verified company” badge with a 6-digit code sent to an address on your company domain (e.g. hr@company.az), then write the job — the form checks the honesty standard instantly and marks problems in red. Optionally add a short “skill task” (5–120 minutes, never real production work): candidates answer it when they apply. In your panel you see every application, open the CV in the candidate's own template, change the status (the candidate is e-mailed automatically), keep an internal note and message the candidate on the site. A listing stays live for 30 days and can be extended with “Extend 30 days”.
CodexCV inside Claude and ChatGPT
You can connect CodexCV to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients as a “custom connector” (URL: https://codexcv.com/api/mcp, step-by-step guide: codexcv.com/en/ai-assistants). Then just say in the chat: “Tailor my CodexCV CV to this job”. With your permission the assistant reads your CVs, analyses the fit with the posting and ALWAYS saves the tailored version as a NEW copy — your original CV is never changed. Without signing in you can still search honest jobs, run an ATS check, look up salaries and get a labor-market overview. Sign-in uses standard OAuth (your password is never given to the assistant); the consent screen shows exactly which permissions you grant, and you can untick the optional ones. Disconnect any time in Account → “AI assistants”. Your own assistant does the AI work, so it's free on our side.
Let recruiters' AI agents find you
When you list a CV in the Talent Directory (Share → “Show in directory”), it also becomes available in machine-readable form for recruiters' AI assistants and search tools: experience, education, skills and languages. Your e-mail, phone, address, birth date and photo are NOT included in this feed — people can only contact you through CodexCV messaging, so you don't end up on spam lists. Unlist the CV and it disappears from the feed immediately.
Share your salary anonymously
On the “Salary benchmark” page you can anonymously share your job title, city, experience and monthly salary (net/gross). Your figure is never shown on its own: statistics for a job title (median, typical 25–75% range, min/max) appear only once at least 5 people have contributed. An account is needed only to stop fake entries (one report per job title every 6 months); your name is never shown.
“I got the job!” and success stories
In the job tracker, cards at the interview or offer stage have an “🎉 I got the job!” button. Tap it to mark the card, and if you like, share your story on the “Success stories” page (codexcv.com/en/success-stories): you choose how your name appears (full name, first name + last initial, or anonymous). A moderator reads every story before it is published — there are no invented testimonials on the site.
Verified reference letters
When your referee fills in their part and leaves their e-mail, CodexCV sends them a “Did you write this letter?” link. Once they confirm, the letter's edit page shows a verification link and QR code — send it to employers. The public verification page (codexcv.com/en/verify/…) shows who confirmed it, from which e-mail domain (company or personal), when, and whether the text changed after confirmation.
Telegram bot
In Account → Telegram, press “Connect Telegram” and tap “Start” in the bot. It instantly tells you about application updates and (if you're an employer) new applications. Commands: /jobs keyword (honest jobs), /salary job title (anonymous salary stats), /alerts keyword (new-job alerts once a day); send it your CV text and it replies with the ATS score. Messages are not stored.
University career centers
Staff at universities and career centers with an organisation package see, in the “Career center dashboard” (codexcv.com/en/career-center), their join code, seat count and cohort totals: ready CVs, average ATS score, applications, interviews, offers and hires. For privacy, totals stay hidden until at least 5 students have joined. Individual progress appears only when a student presses “Share my progress” on their own Account page; CV contents and messages are never shown.
Labor-market report
The “Labor-market report” (codexcv.com/en/labor-market-report) is built automatically from CodexCV's anonymous data: most-targeted roles, most-listed skills, cities, languages, CV quality by ATS score, the job-search funnel (application → interview → offer → hired), salaries in honest listings and the anonymous salary database. No individual record is ever shown: names and skills appear only when at least 5 different people list them, salaries only for groups of 5+. Where data is thin, we say so plainly.
Free on-device AI: translation and letter drafts
If Chrome on your computer has its built-in AI, two free extras appear: after making a copy of your CV in another language, “Translate on my device (free)” translates every description in one click (names, companies and dates stay as they are, and there's an “Undo”), and on the cover-letter page you can paste a job posting and get a first draft with “Write a draft”. Everything runs on your own computer — the text is never sent anywhere. If your browser doesn't support it, these buttons simply don't appear.
How you build your CV
Choosing a template
The first step is picking one of 75 designs. Each one is a genuinely different design (near-copies that only differed by colour were removed — you choose the colour yourself on any template anyway): the Harvard format that's considered the safest for ATS, a Swiss grid, Europass, designs built around a large portrait photo (a big photo panel, an arch-shaped photo, a photo filling the top of the sidebar, a photo over a banner), modern dark-sidebar layouts, a gold-framed executive design, and more. You can filter by style — corporate, creative, minimal, with photo, colourful and so on. While you edit, a live preview of your CV stays next to the form and updates instantly; on mobile it opens from a floating button in the bottom-right corner. If a template you picked earlier has been taken out of the list, your CV stays exactly as it was and that template keeps showing up for you in the picker. Once you've filled in your personal details, every template in the picker is shown with your own CV. The "Layout" filter narrows the list to one-column (safest for ATS), with-photo or without-photo designs; in the gallery, the magnifier in a card's corner opens that template full size.
8 new designs (October 2026)
Eight new, genuinely different designs joined the gallery: "Atlas" (a clean single column for IT), "Terra" (a photo sidebar and timeline for creative fields), "Ledger" (a classic serif for finance), "Coastal" (colourful cards for marketing), "Granite" (a dark sidebar for engineering), "Meadow" (a light design for students and graduates), "Heritage" (academic, on a paper-toned background) and "Orbit" (a hexagonal photo and numbered sections for IT). All of them passed the ATS check: skill rings and bars no longer leak stray percentages into the text a robot reads, and every design's PDF exports as real text. The new designs show first in the "Featured" row at the top of the gallery.
Design studio — fonts, sizes, photo, colour and layout
The Template and Preview steps both have a "Design studio" panel. Like in Canva, you can change how your CV looks however you want and see the result instantly in the live preview. Colour: any accent colour (quick swatches or a full colour picker) and a light page background (white, ivory, cream, pale blue and more). Fonts: more than 60 of the world's best typefaces (Open Sans, Source Sans, IBM Plex, EB Garamond, Cormorant, Playfair, Poppins, Montserrat, JetBrains Mono and more) — chosen separately for headings/name and for body text, with search and category filters; the "AZ" and "RU" badges next to each font show whether it has native Azerbaijani and Russian letters. Text size, name size, section-heading size, heading boldness (from regular to black), body weight, line spacing and space between sections, and heading letters (UPPERCASE or normal) are all adjustable with sliders and buttons. Photo: size (50% to 220%), frame shape (circle, rounded, square, arch, hexagon or no photo), border thickness and colour, zoom (crop) and black & white. To move the photo inside its frame, drag it in the Personal details step. Layout (on the new studio templates): 10 section-heading styles, 7 ways to show skills (tags, bars, dots, segments, list, two columns, one line), 3 for languages, 5 for work experience (classic, timeline, dates on the left, cards, accent line) and decorations (stripes, corner circles, frame, geometric). "Reset all design changes" returns everything to the template's original look. Every option keeps your CV ATS-friendly — the text always stays real, selectable text.
Visual editing right on the CV — select words and format them
On the Preview & download step the CV itself becomes your editing canvas (switch it on or off with the “✏️ Visual editing” button at the top). Move the mouse over any text on the CV and a dashed outline appears. Click it and a formatting panel opens next to it: change that element's font (60+ fonts), size (A− / A+), weight (300–900), colour, highlight, bold/italic/underline, letter case (UPPER / lower / Each Word), letter and word spacing, line height and alignment. Tick “Apply to all similar” to change, for example, every job title or every section heading at once. To emphasise just a few words (say “grew 18%”), select them with the mouse — the panel then applies only to those words; Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+U work too. Double-click to fix the wording right there (Enter saves, Esc cancels; Ctrl+Enter in multi-line descriptions); the change is written to the form field as well. Clicking a section heading also lets you move that section up/down or hide it; hidden sections are listed under the bar and come back in one click. Everything autosaves and Ctrl+Z undoes it; “Clear all formatting” removes all the extra formatting. It's completely ATS-safe: formatting only changes the look — the words on your CV stay exactly the same for robots, the ATS score, Word/text downloads and the AI tools. Colours that would make text invisible (matching the background) are refused, because ATS systems treat that as hidden keyword stuffing; very small sizes and very wide letter spacing show a warning. On a phone, tap any text and the panel opens from the bottom; “🔍 Zoom in” shows the CV at real size so small words are easy to tap.
Pages, “Fit to two pages”, column width and dragging text left or right
On the Preview & download step the badge at the top shows exactly how many pages the PDF will have — the site splits your CV into pages the same way the download does. The red dashed line shows where a new page really starts. A long section (Work experience, say) no longer jumps to the next page as a whole: if page 1 has room it starts there and continues; only a single job and short sections (like Languages) are kept from splitting. If the CV runs to 3 pages, “Fit to two pages” tightens spacing, line height and, only if needed, text size step by step (never below 85%); at 2 pages, “Fit to one page” does the same. Don't like it? Ctrl+Z. With visual editing on, a purple vertical handle sits on the edge of the side column — drag it to make the column wider or narrower (double-click resets); that's the best fix when long skills wrap. Clicking any text also shows purple handles on its left and right edges: drag them to move the text left or right and make its lines wider or narrower; the “Position” block in the panel does the same with sliders. Skill lists now put a “•” before each skill and wrap a long skill's second line neatly under its text, so it no longer looks like a separate skill. None of this changes the words on your CV — it stays ATS-safe.
Translate your CV into another language (formatting kept) and review it
On the Preview & download step, pick a language in the “🌐 Translate this CV” panel (English, Russian, Turkish or Azerbaijani) and press “Translate”. AI translates the whole CV in professional HR language into a separate copy — your original CV doesn't change. What gets translated: job title, summary, positions and descriptions, education (a university's official English name is used when it has one, e.g. “Azerbaijan State University of Economics”), skills, language names (“Rus dili” → “Russian”), certificates, projects, custom sections and your own section headings; city names (“Bakı” → “Baku”); a company name stays as it is and only its legal form changes (“MMC” → “LLC”). Your name, dates, numbers, percentages, e-mail, phone and links are never touched. Phrases like “İdarə etdim:” come out in résumé style, “Managed:”. Bold words, colours, the template and the design carry over — if “İdarə etdim:” was bold, “Managed:” is bold too. A long CV can take 1–2 minutes; it counts as 1 AI request. When it's done the new copy opens with a “Review the translation” panel on top: original on the left, translation on the right — fix any line right there (it autosaves), shorten the list with “Changed only”, and press “All good — close” when you're happy. If the AI limit is used up or AI is unavailable, the copy is still made and you're told so plainly; Chrome may also offer free on-device translation. The dashboard's “copy in another language” uses the same translation.
Undo / redo, fit to one page, and Word / plain-text downloads
The ↶ and ↷ buttons at the top of the builder (or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Y) undo and redo recent changes across the whole CV — text, design and template included (up to 100 steps; text you type in one go counts as one step). Inside a text field the browser's own undo works as usual. The Preview & download step shows how many pages your CV has, and red dashed lines mark exactly where the PDF starts a new page. If it spills onto a second page, "Fit to one page" tightens spacing, then line height and, only if needed, text size (never below 85%) step by step; if it still can't fit, nothing is changed and you're told what to do. Besides PDF, you can download your CV as Word (.docx — editable, ATS-friendly, single column) and as plain text (.txt — for pasting into job-site forms). Your work isn't lost: every change is also kept in this browser, so if the connection drops or the tab closes, reopening the CV shows "Unsaved changes found" with an option to restore them. If you try to close the page while a change hasn't reached the server yet, the browser warns you. The browser's spell check works in your CV's language (e.g. Azerbaijani or Russian).
All-templates gallery (no account needed)
The "Browse all 75 templates" link on the homepage (or going straight to the /templates page) lets you see all 75 designs at full size with real sample content, without creating an account — you can filter by style. Clicking a template you like shows a "Start with this template" button: if you're not signed up yet, it takes you straight to the registration page with that template already selected; if you already have an account, it goes straight to the dashboard to create a new CV with that template. That way you can decide on a design before filling in a single field.
Personal info
You add your name, title, contact details, and a photo. You can upload a photo in any format (including iPhone's HEIC) and any size — the system automatically resizes and compresses it, so you never have to worry about format or size. If your photo is tall (portrait-orientation) and doesn't fit the frame cleanly, a small preview frame appears right below it where you can drag the photo with your finger or mouse to center exactly the part you want — your face, for instance. Whatever position you pick is applied consistently everywhere it appears, on both the CV and the cover letter.
Experience and education
You list your roles, companies, dates, and responsibilities, plus your education. Contextual tips next to each field help you phrase things correctly.
Skills and languages
You add your skills and the languages you speak, along with your proficiency level in each.
Language proficiency self-check
In the Languages section, each language has an optional "Check my level" button — a short, adaptive test (6 tiers, A1 through C2) available for English, Russian, and Azerbaijani, showing how accurate your declared level really is. It's entirely optional and never required to finish your CV — it's just honest feedback. Once a level is confirmed, a small "✓" appears next to that language on your CV.
Color and font customization
Every template has its own default color scheme and font pair, but you can change both yourself from the preview step if you'd like. Pick the accent color from 12 quick presets, or open the "+" button for a full color picker: a 178-color curated premium library organized by category, search, harmony suggestions (complementary, triadic, monochromatic, and more), a WCAG contrast checker, an on-screen eyedropper tool, and a personal library for your favorite and custom colors. For fonts, choose from 8 curated pairings (classic serif, modern sans-serif, literary style, and more) — each one is shown in its own actual font, so you see exactly what you're picking before you pick it. Both choices only ever apply to YOUR CV, and can be reset to the template's own design anytime with the "default" button.
Custom sections
Beyond the standard sections, you can add any number of your own — like "Projects", "Certificates", or "Volunteering" — reorder them, or hide the ones you don't need.
Editing section headings
On the "Sections" step, each standard section (Summary, Experience, Education, Projects, Skills, Languages, Certificates) has a small text field next to it — delete the heading shown on your CV there and replace it with whatever text you want, such as a translation into another language. This lets someone of any nationality adapt their CV's headings to their own country's language, independent of the platform's own interface language. The change only ever applies to YOUR CV — it never affects the platform's original template or any other user's CV. Leave the field blank and the default heading text keeps showing as usual.
Preview and download
The final step shows your CV's full preview, your ATS score, lets you generate a cover letter, turn on a shareable link, and download the PDF — all in one place.
Blind CV mode
Turning on "Blind CV mode" on the preview step hides your name, photo, birth date, and address from the downloaded PDF — job title, experience, education, skills, and contact details stay visible. This is for anonymized hiring processes that screen for skills before identity. It only affects the PDF you download at that moment — your saved CV and share link are unaffected, and you can turn it off anytime to download your normal CV.
Accessible export mode
The "Accessible export mode" toggle on the preview step replaces your template's visual design with a plain layout built for screen readers: real headings (H1/H2/H3), real bulleted lists, and no decorative or arbitrarily-positioned elements. All of your CV's content — name, work experience, education, skills, and everything else — stays exactly the same; only the formatting changes. It can be turned on together with Blind CV mode.
Autosave
There's no save button — every change is saved automatically a few seconds after you stop typing. When it finishes, a brief green "Saved" checkmark appears at the top so you know the change actually went through.
Progress indicator
Above the step tabs you'll see a thin progress bar and "X/11 steps completed" text — this counts a step as done based on whether it has real content, not just whether you've visited it. The Template, Sections, and Preview steps require nothing to fill in, so they always count as complete; the other steps only mark as complete once real data is entered (name and contact info, at least one work experience, one education entry, and so on). The small green checkmark next to each step tab reflects the same logic.
"Your CV is ready" message
Starting from the Skills step, if your name, at least one work experience, and one education entry are already filled in, a green notice appears: your CV is already ready to send, and the remaining sections (certificates, projects, languages, and so on) are entirely optional. This exists to counter "fill in everything or nothing" thinking — many people abandon a CV entirely thinking they don't have time, when they already have a perfectly usable one. Once dismissed, it won't reappear for that CV.
Exit reminder
While your CV isn't ready yet (i.e. the minimum conditions above aren't met), moving your mouse toward the top of the browser as if to leave the page may show a small, non-intrusive reminder: everything you've written is already saved automatically, and you can come back and continue anytime. It shows at most once per session and never blocks any navigation — it's purely informational.
Draft with AI (Pro/AI Plus)
On the Summary step, and in each education entry's description field, if there's already a bit of information elsewhere (e.g. work experience/skills, or the education entry's degree/field), a "✨ Draft with AI" button appears. This is different from the existing "Enhance with AI" button on the Work experience step — that one improves text you've already written, while this one offers 2-3 starting-point drafts from scratch, even if you haven't written anything yet. It's grounded only in the real information you've actually entered, and never invents a fake employer, date, or number. Available only to Pro (Job Search Pass) or AI Plus users — on the Free plan the button shows locked with a link to the Pricing page.
Example bullet-point library
On the Work experience step, the "Example sentences" button opens ready-made bullet points grouped by field (sales, IT, healthcare, education, and more) — copy any one with a click. No AI involved — these are fixed, hand-written examples; adapting them to your actual experience is up to you.
ATS compatibility
What is ATS?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software many large companies use to automatically scan and filter CVs before a human ever sees them. CVs that don't pass this filter often never reach a recruiter at all.
Real-text PDF export
Every CV built here exports to PDF as real, selectable text — never an image — which is what allows ATS software to actually read it correctly.
Multi-column PDFs are now read correctly
The engine that reads PDFs — when you import a CV file and on the "Will your CV pass the robots?" page — was rebuilt. In two-column designs it used to slice the name in two ("LEYLA H" / "ƏSƏNOVA"), read all sidebar headings before any text, push dates behind the description and read skill grids column by column — the PDF was fine, the reader was wrong. The reader now sees the page the way a real ATS does: a full-width name and summary as rows, columns left to right one at a time; a date rail or language levels are taken together with the line beside them; numbered ("01 Work experience") and decorated ("→ SKILLS") headings are recognised too. As a result the PDF of all 75 designs now averages an ATS score of 95+ (it was 82).
ATS score
On the Preview step, your CV is automatically scored and you're shown exactly what to improve.
Job-posting keyword matching
Paste in a job posting's text to see which keywords your CV is missing, so you can tailor it.
ATS PDF (single column) — the 100%-safe file
Some beautiful templates use columns: great for people, but some older ATS robots can read column text out of order. That's why the Preview step has an "ATS PDF (single column)" button: one click downloads the same content as a plain single-column PDF that robots and AI screeners read in perfect order. Tip: send the designed PDF when emailing an employer directly, and upload the ATS PDF to online application portals. Word (.docx) and plain text (.txt) files are equally clean for robots.
Robot view
Open "Robot view" in the ATS panel to see which fields a recruiting robot finds in your CV (name, job title, email, phone, location, LinkedIn, experience, education, skills, languages) with a green ✓ or red ✗, plus the plain text it extracts. Fill in any field with a red ✗ and the robot will find it too.
Cover letter generator
Auto-generated
Based on your CV's information and, optionally, a job description, a tailored cover letter is generated in seconds — no writing required.
Fully editable
The generated text is a starting point you're free to edit and make your own.
AI-powered tools
Overview and monthly limits
CV import, translation, job-match scoring, bullet rewriting, cover letters, mentor review, interview practice, and salary negotiation scripts all run on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 model at its high reasoning tier. These features aren't included on the Free plan; using them requires either the Job Search Pass (20 requests/month) or AI Plus (40 requests/month). If both are active at once, the limits stack rather than replace each other: 20 + 40 = 60 requests/month. Results are generated automatically and should always be reviewed by you before you rely on them.
Free on-device AI (beta)
You can strengthen your CV text on the Free plan too — if Google Chrome on your computer has its built-in AI (Gemini Nano). When it does, a “Free on-device AI (beta)” button appears under work-experience descriptions and on the Summary step: it suggests 3 stronger versions of your text, and you pick one and edit it as you like. Everything runs on your own computer — your text isn't sent anywhere, and it's free. The first time, the browser may need to download the model (a few minutes). For now this works only in recent desktop Chrome on capable devices; on phones and other browsers the button simply doesn't appear. It works best in English.
AI-assisted CV import and translation
When you upload an existing CV file (PDF/Word), it's read with AI assistance and the data is automatically filled into the matching fields. The same technology is used when you translate a CV into another language (Azerbaijani, Russian, English) — it doesn't just copy the format, it actually translates the text. This also works with your LinkedIn profile: open your LinkedIn profile, click "More" → "Save to PDF," and upload that file through the same "Import from PDF/Word" button — the AI recognizes LinkedIn-specific sections (Top Skills, Contact, Certifications, etc.) and files them correctly.
AI job-match scoring
Unlike the simple keyword comparison in the ATS section, this feature sends the full job-posting text to the AI and returns a percentage match score for your CV, along with a concrete explanation of what's missing.
AI CV Tailor
The "Tailor my CV to this job" button next to the job-match result doesn't just score your fit — the AI rewrites your summary and the most relevant experience bullets for that specific posting, reorders your skills so the most relevant ones come first, and saves the result as a completely NEW, separate CV — your original is never touched. The AI only rewords facts already present in your CV; it never invents a new employer, skill, or achievement. Keywords from the posting that are genuinely missing from your CV are called out separately, so you only add them if they're actually true.
LinkedIn profile text generator
The "LinkedIn profile text" section below the ATS panel uses your CV's own data to write a headline and an "About" section you can paste straight into your LinkedIn profile. The About text is deliberately different from a CV summary — more personal, first-person, and in the tone LinkedIn readers expect.
AI bullet rewriter
Every line in the Work experience section has a "Strengthen" button next to it — it turns a weak, generic sentence into a more concrete, results-focused version with one click. You're free to edit the result afterward.
AI Mentor CV review
The "AI Mentor Review" section on the ATS panel evaluates your CV as a whole and gives structured feedback similar to what you'd get from an experienced mentor: an overall score, a verdict, concrete strengths and weaknesses, section-by-section feedback, and clear, actionable next steps.
AI interview practice
Answer realistic interview questions tailored to your CV, and get AI feedback on your answers — a way to test yourself before the real thing.
Salary and CV benchmarks (no AI credit cost)
See a realistic salary range based on your role, experience, and location, plus how your CV compares to others in your field. Unlike the features above, these two don't count against your monthly AI limit — use them freely.
AI salary negotiation script
Below the salary-benchmark page, enter your position, target salary, and optionally your current offer to get a concrete, ready-to-use negotiation script: how to open the conversation, what arguments to make, how to state your number, what to ask for instead if salary can't move, and which mistakes to avoid. If the platform has benchmark data for that position, the script takes it into account too. This uses one request from your monthly AI limit (unlike the salary benchmark itself).
Regional salary reference: Georgia and Turkey
Below the salary-benchmark page, you'll find average salary and minimum-wage figures for Georgia and Turkey, sourced from official national statistics offices (Geostat, TÜİK). Unlike the Azerbaijan benchmark, this isn't CodexCV user data — the source and date are shown next to every figure so you can verify it yourself.
Europass-style template
In the template picker, the template in the "European standard" category shows a blue "🇪🇺 Europass-style" badge — it follows the EU's Europass CV format and is useful for university exchange programs, EU institutions, and some official applications. Hover over it for a short explanation.
Compare job offers
On the same page, enter 2-4 job offers side by side to compare salary, bonus, leave days, and other benefits — the highest figure is flagged automatically. No login required, nothing is saved.
Talent Directory and messaging
What is this?
The Talent Directory (codexcv.com/directory) is CodexCV's built-in, opt-in LinkedIn/Hunter-style discovery layer. It only shows public CVs and portfolios from people who explicitly chose to be "found" there. Any visitor — logged in or not — can browse it and search by name, headline, or bio; logged-in visitors can message someone directly from their card.
How do I opt in?
This is a separate, additional option on top of plain "Public link" sharing. On any CV's or your portfolio's share panel, after turning the public link on, tick the "List in Talent Directory" checkbox that appears. Before it actually turns on, a confirmation dialog explains exactly what that means — because it means anyone browsing the directory can now find you, not just people you sent the link to. You can turn it off again anytime; that only removes your directory visibility, your public link itself is untouched.
Messaging another user
If you like someone's profile or CV in the directory, click "Send message" on their card (you'll need to be logged in). This opens a separate, private conversation between you and that person — completely apart from CodexCV support messages — shown in a "Your conversations" list above the regular Messages section. Starting a first, cold message only works while the other person is currently listed; once a conversation exists, you can keep replying even if they later remove themselves from the directory.
Reference letters aren't in the directory
Reference letters are still shared only via a direct link/QR code and aren't included in the Talent Directory — because a letter also names and identifies the referee giving it, and making that broadly public needs extra care.
For employers: search by skill and location
The "CVs" tab has two filters alongside the plain name search: by skill (e.g. typing "Excel" shows CVs that list that skill) and by location (city/country). This lets hiring companies search candidates who've opted into the directory without creating an account or paying anything — a full brokered marketplace (payment, contracts) doesn't exist yet, this is just an open, filterable discovery experience.
Digital achievement badges
You may see small badges on directory cards and public CV pages: 🎯 ATS-optimized (ATS score ≥80), ✅ Verified language (at least one language passed its knowledge check), 🌐 Multilingual (2+ languages added), ⭐ Complete profile (all core sections — personal info, experience, education, at least 3 skills — filled in). These badges don't come from any new quiz or test — they're all computed automatically from data already in your CV. There's nothing extra to do to earn one: just fill out your CV fully and well, and the badges appear on their own.
Notifications and view tracking
Get notified when someone views your work
The moment someone opens your CV, portfolio, or reference letter via its public link, a notification appears right away in the "Notifications" menu — which also shows exactly how many times, and on which dates, that document was opened.
Unfinished CV notification
At the same moment the 24-72h reminder email is sent, a matching notification is also added to the "Notifications" section — so even if you miss the email, the reminder will be waiting the next time you visit the site. Clicking it takes you straight into the CV builder, at the step you left off on.
What this can't track
This tracking only records opens of the link on the platform itself. If someone downloads your CV as a PDF and opens it on their own computer, that's outside your control and technically impossible to track — we're upfront about that limit.
Reference letters
Two ways to put one together
In the "Reference letters" section, you have two options: write the whole letter yourself, print it, and have your referee sign it by hand — or send them a link so they can fill in their own part (name, title, relationship to you, and the letter text) remotely.
No digital signature involved
Nothing is signed digitally anywhere in the system — the finished letter leaves blank space for a signature, made only on paper, by hand. Once your referee fills in their part, they can print the letter straight from their own screen and sign it right away.
Sharing and tracking
Every reference letter also gets its own public link and view history — just like your CV and portfolio.
Watermark
Every reference letter opened via its public link (including the printed copy) carries a small, non-removable "Prepared with CodexCV" watermark — this keeps the letter's source clear and stops it from being passed off as coming from somewhere else. Clicking the watermark takes you straight to the CodexCV homepage.
Managing your CVs
Completion checklist
At the top of your dashboard, you may see a short checklist of unfinished steps that would strengthen your CV: adding a photo, adding skills, adding experience or education, sharing your CV, and using the job tracker. Clicking any item takes you straight to that step. Finishing an item automatically crosses it out, and once everything's done, the checklist disappears on its own — the goal is to point you in the right direction early on, not to sit there as a permanent reminder.
Unfinished CV banner
If any of your CVs still doesn't have a name, at least one work experience, and one education entry filled in, an amber banner appears at the top of your dashboard linking straight to that CV. Unlike the completion checklist above, this banner checks ALL of your CVs, not just the one you most recently touched — so an older CV you started weeks ago and forgot about will show up here too. Each CV card also has a small bar showing how complete it is. Newly created CVs are now automatically named with their creation date (e.g. "CV — 09.08.2026") instead of "Untitled CV", so they don't read as blank in the list.
Email reminders
If you create a CV and haven't finished it within 24-72 hours (the minimum conditions above aren't met), CodexCV sends you a one-time reminder email inviting you to pick up right where you left off — no action is required, it's purely a helpful nudge. If you still haven't finished about a week later, a second email arrives with a different angle: maybe instead of writing from scratch, it's easier to just upload a CV you already have (PDF or Word) — that's exactly what this email offers. Separately, if you haven't logged in for a long time (over 45 days), a more general "your CV is still waiting" email is sent. You can unsubscribe from any of the three email types anytime, directly from the link in the email, with no login required.
Creating multiple CVs
You can create as many separate CVs as you like — for example, a different version for each job or field. They're all listed on the "My CVs" page, and you can switch between them anytime.
Version history
Your CV is automatically saved every few minutes while you edit. Made a change you regret? Roll back to any earlier version in one click.
Trash bin
Deleted CVs aren't gone immediately — you can restore them from the trash bin within 30 days.
Importing an old CV from any format
On “My CVs”, press “Import an existing CV”. You can upload a file, paste text or bring your LinkedIn data. Accepted: PDF (including multi-column and designed ones), scanned PDFs, Word (.docx and old .doc), OpenDocument (.odt), RTF, HTML, Markdown, TXT, a photo or screenshot of a CV (JPG/PNG), JSON Resume, Europass XML and LinkedIn's “Get a copy of your data” ZIP. Structured files (JSON Resume, Europass, LinkedIn ZIP) are transferred one-to-one with no guessing; everything else is read by AI that looks at the page itself (columns, tables, icons, scans and photos). Dates are unified (MM.YYYY), words like “present” are understood, and sections without a matching field (volunteering, awards, courses…) aren't lost — they're kept as “Other sections”. Before anything is created you see what was found: untick any section you don't want and pick the CV language (it's detected automatically). AI reading (the most accurate way for designed PDFs, scans and photos) is part of the Job Search Pass and AI Plus and uses your plan's monthly AI allowance. On the Free plan the basic reader is used: structured files (JSON Resume, Europass, LinkedIn ZIP) are still transferred one-to-one and Word/PDF/text files are read too — on complex designs just check the result a bit more carefully.
Comparing CVs
On the "My CVs" page, check the box next to two or more CVs and click "Compare" to view them side by side — handy for comparing versions tailored to different jobs.
Autofill with the browser extension
Every CV card has an "Export for browser extension" link that downloads a small file with your name, contact details, and work history. Load that file into the free CodexCV Autofill browser extension to fill out job application forms in one click. Everything about the extension is on the /extension page.
Job search tracker
Kanban board
Think of it as a 5-column table you'd draw on paper: you write each job on a card and put it in the right column, and whenever someone asks, you just look at which column the card is sitting in. Click "+ Add application" in the top right, fill in the company name (e.g. "Veysəloğlu"), position, posting link, salary, and your own note, then save — the card appears in the first column automatically. To move a card, just drag it with your mouse into another column — nothing complicated.
What the 5 columns mean (with examples)
Saved: jobs you haven't applied to yet, just ones you want to remember. Example: you liked a listing from Veysəloğlu but haven't sent your CV yet. Applied: jobs you've already sent your CV to, e.g. Kapital Bank. Interview: companies that invited you to meet, e.g. PAŞA Bank called. Offer: companies that offered you the job, e.g. ABB made an offer. Rejected: companies that turned you down, e.g. Retailor LLC sent a rejection — the card isn't deleted, just moved here so the history isn't lost. Click the "?" icon next to any column to read this explanation again anytime.
Compare CV versions
If you used AI CV Tailor to create a second, "— tailored" copy of an original CV, each application card lets you record exactly which version you actually sent via the "Which CV did you use?" field. After doing this for a few applications, open "Compare versions" on the My CVs page — it shows how many views, applications, and interview/offer outcomes each version got side by side, so you can see with real numbers which version actually performs better.
Portfolio
A separate showcase
In the "Portfolio" section, add real project samples (image, description, link) plus a headline and a short bio. This is entirely separate from your CV and completely optional.
A separate share link
Your portfolio has its own public link, independent from your CV — share just your CV, just your portfolio, or both. A view counter is available here too.
Download your portfolio as a PDF
On your portfolio's public page (once the share link is on), there's a "Download PDF" button at the top — it turns your portfolio into a real, selectable-text PDF document (not a screenshot), so you can email it directly or upload it wherever a job site expects an actual file. Any visitor sees this button too — an interested recruiter can save the page as a PDF themselves as well.
A personal address: yourname.codexcv.com
Users with an active Job Search Pass (Pro) can claim a personal address (e.g. aygun.codexcv.com) from the portfolio section — used in place of the standard share link, so you can present your CV at a more professional, memorable address.
Freelance / gig profile mode
Turning on "Freelance / gig profile mode" in the Portfolio section adds your hourly rate, availability status (Open for work / Limited / Not available), and a list of services offered right at the top of your public portfolio page, plus a button letting visitors contact you directly through the platform's internal messaging system. It works like a small "hire me" page rather than a plain CV — useful for anyone taking on freelance or gig work.
Help and guidance
"?" tooltips
Small "?" icons next to key fields and sections give you a short explanation when clicked.
Accessibility button: text size and high contrast
The "Aa" button in the bottom-left corner of the screen offers two platform-wide settings: bumping the text size up through three levels, and turning on a high-contrast mode for clearer color visibility. Your choice is remembered in your browser and applied automatically on future visits.
Onboarding tour
The first time you create a CV, a quick 6-step tour opens automatically. You can restart it any time from the link on the editor page.
This guide
The most detailed source of information about the platform. This page is updated whenever a new feature is added or an existing one changes. When you register, this guide also opens automatically as a window once — it's never mandatory, and you can close it any time with the "✕" in the top-right corner and continue into the platform.
"How does this work?" links
Next to the heading of sections like Account, Portfolio, Reference letters, and the Job Tracker, you'll see a small "❓ How does this work?" link. Clicking it jumps straight to that section's explanation in this guide.
Feedback and rating prompt
After saving your CV, portfolio, or reference letter, or occasionally when you visit the dashboard, a small "Rate CodexCV" prompt may appear if you haven't rated the platform yet. This is how we learn about problems and suggestions people don't always write in about — close it with "Maybe later" if you're not in the mood, or leave a rating once and it won't ask again. If you rate us 4 stars or higher, you'll also see an optional link to leave the same kind of review on Trustpilot — entirely up to you, and never shown for a lower rating.
Quick search
Ctrl+K to jump anywhere
Click the search box in the top menu, or press "Ctrl+K" ("Cmd+K" on Mac), to jump straight to any part of the platform — your CVs, your portfolio, settings, even specific pages — by typing just a few letters.
Support and feedback
Seller information and legal documents
The "Seller information" link at the bottom of every page (/seller) puts everything in one place: who provides CodexCV, contact details, every price, taxes, payment methods (cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay — via Dodo Payments), how the service is delivered and your consumer rights. Next to it are the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Refund policy. When you sign up you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy with a separate checkbox; marketing emails are only sent if you tick the second, optional box — you can change that any time in Account. Under-18s may register only with a parent's or legal representative's consent.
Messaging
You can message the platform admin directly to ask questions or request help.
Editing, deleting, and read receipts
You can edit or delete a message you've sent, after the fact. You can also see whether a message was delivered and read, using WhatsApp-style ✓✓ checkmarks.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Answers to the most common questions, all in one place.
Complaints and suggestions

Ratings
You can rate the platform overall, or individual templates — which also helps other users choose.
Ratings below 5 stars need a reason
If you give the platform a rating below 5 stars, you'll need to write a short reason — the field can't be left empty. This is so our team can actually understand what went wrong and fix it. If what you write is chaotic, unreadable characters (like randomly hitting keys), the system won't accept it and will ask you to write more clearly instead — you'll also get a notification about it. This exists so no one can leave a low rating without explaining what's bothering them.
Public testimonials ("What users say")
When rating the platform, you can tick "Show this as a testimonial on the homepage." Only reviews with a 4+ rating and a comment that you've personally opted into showing appear on the homepage (first name only, no last name). You can turn this off at any time.
Additional resources
Free ATS CV checker (no sign-up)
On the “Free ATS checker” page (/ats-checker) upload any CV — even one made elsewhere — as a PDF or Word file, or paste its text. In 10 seconds you'll see how a robot (ATS) reads it: a score out of 100, the fields it found (name, email, phone, experience, education, skills), problems that trip it up (scanned PDFs, letter-by-letter headings, emoji, missing headings) and, if you like, the keyword match with a job posting. No AI is used and your file is never stored. You can share the tool with friends.
Cover letter and reference letter examples
The “Cover letter examples” page (/cover-letter-examples) has 8 ready letters: a general application, no experience, internship, career change, sales manager, software developer, accountant and teacher. The “Reference letter examples” page (/reference-letter-examples) has 7: an employer reference, university admission, a master's or scholarship, an intern, a character reference, a promotion and a volunteer. Each is a complete letter in all four languages — press “Copy the letter” and replace the parts [in square brackets] with your own details. Every example also comes with 3 practical tips. No sign-up needed.
CV examples by profession
The “CV examples” page (/cv-examples) has ready examples for 18 professions (developer, accountant, sales manager, teacher, nurse, student with no experience and more): a professional summary, achievement bullets with numbers, the skills employers look for and 3 expert tips. Copy any part with “Copy”, or press “Start from this example” to open it all as a new CV in one click — then just put in your own details.
For partners and creators
The “Partners & creators” page (/partners) is for universities, recruiters, employers, creators and media: partnership types, ready-to-post captions, a “Build your CV with CodexCV” badge for your website, the logo and press facts. Creators earn 30 days of Pro for every friend who pays through their invite link.
Azerbaijan job sites
A curated list of 20+ trustworthy job listing sites, with direct links, so you have somewhere to put your finished CV to work.
Job sites worldwide
Clicking the green banner on the "Job listing sites" page takes you to a separate section covering job sites for 60+ countries (including Azerbaijan). Countries are grouped by region — Global/International, Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania — and the search box lets you quickly find a country, open it, and see every job site for that country along with a "Visit site" button next to each. This makes CodexCV useful not just for the Azerbaijani market, but for anyone job-hunting anywhere in the world — you can send your finished CV straight to the site of whichever country you're targeting.
CV format guide (by country)
Below each country's job-sites page is a short "CV format guide": the local terminology (e.g. "Lebenslauf" in Germany), whether including a photo on your CV is customary there (usually expected / common / depends on the employer / discouraged), and the typical length. This is general guidance based on common practice, not a strict rule — when in doubt, it's worth keeping both a with-photo and without-photo version ready. It currently covers 30+ of the most commonly targeted countries; others show general advice instead.
What's new
The homepage shows a running list of new features and changes after every update.
Blog
The "Blog" link in the footer leads to a collection of free, fact-based articles on writing a CV, how ATS systems actually work, and preparing for interviews — no invented statistics, just real, applicable advice. Each article is available in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English.
Install as an app (PWA)
CodexCV can be installed to your phone's or computer's home screen as an app. When your browser supports it (Chrome/Edge, on both phone and desktop), a small banner with an "Install" button appears at the top of the screen — clicking it turns CodexCV into a full app in its own window with its own icon. Without an internet connection, you'll see a clear "you're offline" message instead of the browser's generic error screen.
Your account
Which account you're signed in with, and your profile photo
The top bar shows your profile photo (or your initials if you haven't added one) next to "Account", so it's always clear which account you're signed in with. Click it for a small menu with your name, email, how this account signs in (email and password, Google, or both), your plan, and links to Account settings, My CVs and Sign out. On a phone your photo sits next to the menu button, and the menu opens with a "Signed in as" card at the top. The top of the Account settings page has the full card: photo, name, email, plan, which sign-in methods are connected, when you joined and when you last signed in. That's also where you add, change or remove your profile photo (any format — it's automatically cropped to a square and resized). If you sign in with Google and haven't uploaded your own photo, your Google profile picture is used automatically. Only you see this photo — the photo on your CV is chosen separately.
Four languages
Switch the platform's interface between Azerbaijani, Russian, English, and Turkish at any time, from the language switcher in the top menu. You can also write your CV in any of these four languages, regardless of the interface language.
Changing your password
From the Account page, you can set a new password by entering your current one.
Forgot password
Click "Forgot your password?" on the login page and enter your email to receive a reset link. After several failed login attempts, the account is temporarily locked for security.
Account recovery: backup codes and backup email
From the "Account recovery" section on the Account page, you can set up two extra ways to get back into your account if you forget your password AND lose access to your email at the same time. First, a backup email — add a second address and confirm it by clicking the link sent to it; after that, even without access to your primary inbox, you can use the "Forgot password" flow through your backup address instead. Second, backup codes — 10 secure, one-time codes generated with a single click; they're shown on screen ONLY ONCE when created, so save them somewhere safe right away (a password manager or a printout). If you later lose access to both your email and your password, go to the "Try a backup code instead" link on the Forgot Password page, enter your email and one unused code, and set a new password directly — no email needed at all. On top of that, if your account is linked to Google, you can always log in with the "Continue with Google" button even if you forget your password. Every time you generate backup codes or confirm a backup email, a security notice is automatically sent to your primary email — so if anyone ever gets into your account without permission and tries to change these settings, you'll notice right away. Note: phone-number-based SMS recovery is NOT available yet — that requires choosing and paying for a real, working SMS provider, and that decision hasn't been made yet; rather than ship a fake or non-functional feature, the two methods above are fully working and reliable right now.
Three plans: Free, Job Search Pass, and AI Plus
CodexCV has three tiers. Free is the base plan you can use without paying anything. The Job Search Pass (sometimes just called "Pro") is a one-time, 3-month bundle of extra perks — unlimited CVs, all templates, and more. AI Plus is a separate add-on, billed monthly or annually and renewing automatically, that only raises your monthly AI feature limit. The three don't replace one another: you can buy the Job Search Pass and AI Plus separately or together — neither one requires you to also have the other.
What does the Free plan include?
On the Free plan, PDF export, Azerbaijani/Russian/English, the job tracker, portfolio, reference letters, and the salary/CV benchmarks are all fully available — no payment required. AI features (CV import, translation, match scoring, bullet rewriting, cover letters, mentor review, interview practice) are NOT included on Free — those need the Job Search Pass or AI Plus. Note: since the Job Search Pass isn't on sale yet (final payment-provider approval is pending), unlimited CVs and all 75 templates are temporarily open to Free users too; once the pass goes live, the Free plan will return to its real limits (for example, up to 3 CVs).
How does the Job Search Pass work? (with an example)
The Job Search Pass costs $7.99 and is NOT a monthly subscription — it's a one-time payment. From the moment you buy it, for 90 days (about 3 months) you get: unlimited CVs, all 75 templates, 20 AI requests/month, "who viewed it and when" analytics, share links without a watermark, early access to new features, and priority support. Example: say you buy the pass on August 2 — 90 days later, around October 31, you're automatically switched back to the Free plan with nothing further for you to do; your card isn't charged again because there's no subscription to cancel. If you'd like, after (or even before) it expires you can pay another $7.99 for a fresh 90-day period — but note that a new purchase does NOT stack on top of remaining days; it starts a brand-new 90-day period from today. (Note: this pass currently shows as "Coming soon" — it will go on sale once final payment-provider approval is complete.)
How does AI Plus work? (with an example)
AI Plus is an automatically renewing subscription at $5.99/month (or $57.48/year when billed annually — just $4.79/month, 20% off) that ONLY raises your monthly AI feature limit to 40 requests — it doesn't touch your CV count, template access, or analytics. Example: if you're on the Free plan and buy AI Plus, your CV/template limit stays exactly the same (currently unlimited, temporarily), but you can now use CV import, translation, match scoring, bullet rewriting, cover letters, mentor review, or interview practice up to 40 times a month. The following month, on the same date, your card is automatically charged $5.99 again on the monthly option ($57.48 a year later on the annual option) and the limit resets. You can cancel anytime from the Account page; even after cancelling, you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for — it simply won't renew again.
Buying both together — how do AI credits stack?
Some users want both the Job Search Pass and AI Plus at the same time — that's entirely possible, and the two are independent of each other. CV count, template access, analytics, and watermark-free sharing depend ONLY on the Job Search Pass. The AI request limit, though, is the SUM of credits from both: the Job Search Pass alone gives 20, AI Plus alone gives 40, but when both are active AT THE SAME TIME, they don't replace each other — they stack, for 60 requests/month. Example: Aygun buys the Job Search Pass for $7.99 and also AI Plus for $5.99/month — her total cost is $7.99 + $5.99 = $13.98. In return, for 90 days she gets unlimited CVs, all templates, watermark-free sharing, view analytics, AND 60 AI requests a month (once the Pass's 90 days end, if AI Plus is still running on its own monthly cycle, the limit drops back to 40).
How does payment work?
All prices are shown in US dollars. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Dodo Payments, the Merchant of Record for all our orders. You enter your card details directly on Dodo Payments' secure checkout — never on CodexCV's servers — where Visa, Mastercard and other cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay are available. Dodo Payments shows the amount in your local currency, calculates any VAT/sales tax for your country and emails you the receipt. On your bank statement, the charge appears under Dodo Payments' name ("DODOPAY*").
How do I cancel and get a refund?
You can cancel AI Plus at any time in one click: Account → Billing & subscriptions → "Manage or cancel subscription". After cancelling you won't be charged again, and AI Plus stays active until the end of the period you paid for. The Job Search Pass is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel. Every first purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee (as long as no more than half of the plan's monthly AI allowance was used); and if you forgot to cancel, we also refund a renewal when you ask within 7 days and haven't used AI since it renewed. Details: the "Refund policy" page (link at the bottom of every page). Deleting your account also cancels an active subscription automatically.
Cancellation and renewal
AI Plus can be cancelled anytime with the "Manage subscription" button on the Account page — after cancelling, you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, then your card simply isn't charged again. The Job Search Pass has nothing to cancel, since it isn't a subscription — it's a one-time payment that automatically reverts to the Free plan on its own after 90 days. In either case, deleting your account from the "Danger zone" also removes any active plans.
Deleting your account
From the "Danger zone" section at the bottom of your account page, you can permanently delete your own account and everything tied to it (CVs, portfolio, messages, and more) yourself, immediately — no need to contact support. Since this can't be undone, the system first asks you to type your email address, then shows a confirmation prompt.
Email preferences
You can turn off "it's been a while" reminder emails at any time — either from the toggle on your account page, or via a one-click link in the email itself (no login required).
Download all your data
The "Download my data" button on the Account page lets you instantly download everything tied to your account — your profile info, all your CVs, portfolio, reference letters, job search tracker, submitted reviews and feedback, your payment and subscription history, and your AI-usage and account-activity records (sign-ins, downloads) — as a single JSON file. No waiting period or contacting support required; your password and other sensitive internal data are never included in the file.
Invite friends, earn free Pro time
The Account page has your own personal invite link. When a friend you shared it with registers through that link and then buys a Job Search Pass or AI Plus, 30 days of Pro access are automatically added to your account — nothing further to do on your end. The reward only fires once your friend actually pays, not just from signing up; but there's no limit on how many friends can convert — you earn a separate 30 days for each one. The Account page shows how many people signed up, how many converted, and your total days earned. This same link is also shown in the window that opens when you finish a CV and rate the platform, so you don't need to visit the Account page separately to find it.
Rating the platform when you finish a CV
When you finish the last step in the CV builder and click "Finish", a short window opens asking you to rate the platform from 1 to 5 stars and, if you'd like, leave a comment. This is entirely optional — you can close it with "Maybe later", and it'll only ask again after your next finished CV. But once you've rated the platform, this window never appears again. Right after you submit your rating, the window immediately shows your personal invite link so you can share it with a friend right away if you'd like.
For organizations
Bulk access
Bulk-access packages are available for university career centers, HR companies, staffing agencies, and bootcamp organizers — pricing is transparent, sold in seat-count blocks (e.g. 25, 100, 500+ seats), with the per-seat price dropping as the seat count grows. On the "/for-organizations" page you can pick a package, enter your seat count, and see the exact price instantly. No account required.
Package picker and detailed terms
Each package card updates the per-seat price, one-time setup fee, and total first-year cost live as you enter a seat count. Before submitting an order, a "Read the full terms" button shows that package's complete, detailed terms (AI quota, how extra seats beyond the block are billed, contract length, and more), which you must accept — nothing is left unclear. Once an order is submitted, those exact terms are preserved permanently, even if an admin later updates prices.
Organization type selector
For anyone who just wants to send a message, a separate form also asks "What kind of organization are you?" (University/bootcamp, Staffing/HR agency, Employer, Other) — useful if you have a question before picking a specific package.
Embed a "Create your CV" button
At the bottom of the "/for-organizations" page, there's a ready-made code snippet for partner sites — copy it onto your own site and your visitors will see a button leading straight to CodexCV's registration page. You can optionally label it with your own site name for your own tracking.
