Roadmap
Where Beacon is going
Shipped
Fit score against the role
A match percentage based on how many required qualifications your resume addresses, with a breakdown by skill.
Honest resume tailoring
Rewrites your summary and the most relevant bullets to speak to the role, using only the experience already in your resume.
Specific cover letters
Drafts a letter that opens with the actual role and company, not a generic greeting. No template structure.
Interview prep set
Questions this role is likely to ask, with an answer outline for each drawn from your background.
Gap summary
A list of the requirements the resume does not address, named specifically so you know what to prepare for.
Gap-to-close suggestions
For each gap, a concrete action: a course, a project, or a framing for the interview question. Seeker and Pro only.
Application export
Download any application as a clean document with the tailored resume, cover letter and interview prep set.
In progress
Application tracking
A place to log each application with status, notes and a follow-up date. Not a spreadsheet, not a CRM.
PDF resume upload
Paste is always available and always works. PDF upload adds support for two-column templates and layouts that are hard to copy correctly.
Follow-up question depth for interview prep
A second and third question under each prep item, so you can practice the follow-ups that come after the opening answer.
Planned
Multiple base resumes
Keep a separate resume for each direction you are pursuing, for example one for engineering and one for product, and Beacon will tailor from the most relevant one for each role. Pro only.
Role-fit comparison across saved resumes
If you have multiple resumes, see which one matches a role best before deciding which to tailor from.
ATS readability check
A plain-language note on whether your resume's formatting is likely to parse correctly in common applicant tracking systems.
Company research summary
A brief on the company from public sources, attached to each application, so you go into the interview with context on what they do and where they are.
Team accounts
For career coaches and outplacement teams who work with multiple clients.
