CV Genius

CV Genius is a job application toolkit built around an online CV maker and cover letter builder. Rather than handing you a blank document, it structures the writing process into guided sections and pairs it with a broad library of ready-made templates and real-world examples, so candidates can put together a polished application without design software.

The platform spans three related tools: a CV maker for drafting and formatting the resume itself, a cover letter builder for the matching letter, and an ATS CV checker that flags the formatting and keyword problems most likely to get an application filtered out by automated screening. Together they address the practical pipeline most job seekers face, where a document must first pass software before it reaches a recruiter.

The resource side is just as substantial. CV Genius publishes CV templates in Word, Canva, and Google Docs formats, plus simple and modern styles, and maintains example libraries for scenarios such as student, first-job, graduate, school leaver, retail, and marketing CVs. A blog covers writing technique, formatting, skills, and interview preparation. CV Genius is owned and operated by Sonaga Tech Limited, and access to the builder follows a freemium model.
