About Shinsa
Shinsa checks your CV against a specific job posting and gives one honest verdict: GO, HOLD, or SKIP, no matching percentage to second-guess. Most CV tools are built to encourage applying (more applications looks good for them), so they hand out inflated match scores that always seem to justify writing another cover letter. Shinsa has nothing to gain from that, so it says "skip this" as readily as "this one's worth it." Key features: your CV is normalized once (roles, years, skills, languages, no polish added), the job posting is broken down into hard requirements versus nice-to-haves, and you log real outcomes (no reply, rejection, interview, offer) after every application. That log feeds back into future verdicts — if Shinsa's been too strict, HOLD starts weighing more positive; if it's been too soft, hard requirements weigh heavier. The scoring visibly self-corrects instead of staying a black box. What makes it different: it's the only CV tool designed to tell you not to apply. No dashboard of vague percentages, no false encouragement, just a clear verdict and the specific gaps behind it, so you stop spending evenings on cover letters for roles you were never going to land. Built for job seekers who are tired of guessing whether a posting is worth their time. Free for 2 screenings a month; Priority tier unlocks new job-match alerts, application-pattern tracking, and interview prep drawn from your own CV gaps.
