I've created several tools and resources that can help, free of charge:


For employers


  1. Job description diagnostic. A tool that will deconstruct your job description to ensure it is up-to-date, representative, accurate and realistically conveys a vacancy your potential employee can fulfil. It will help you establish what 'good' should look like and will land better with the right candidates. Trained on my AiDE framework for key hires. Email me directly with your job description, and I'll reply ASAP with your report, generally same day. No sales pitch or obligation. greg.wyatt@bwrecruitment.co.uk
  2. Job advert diagnostic. Another tool trained on my AiDE framework's copywriting principles that identifies where your advert isn't working, with advice on how to land better with the readers who may prove to be ideal candidates. You'll need to contact me directly, if you'd like to try this out - greg.wyatt@bwrecruitment.co.uk.


For candidates and job seekers


  1. CV diagnostic. A similar tool for your CV, which shows you how to improve it while highlighting your unique candidacy. It's not a typical "AI optimisation" tool - it's been trained on the principles in A Career Breakdown Kit and its associated CV guide and template. Key areas it helps with are showing adequate context, how to highlight relevant achievements (quantifiable outcomes or problems solved) and the blind spots that may be holding you back. Here is the public dashboard with instructions: CV Diagnostic.
  2. CV Template. Click here to download. (By downloading you agree this is only for personal use)
  3. CV-Vacancy analysis tool. This guides you on whether and how to apply for a specific vacancy, as well as guiding how to put your best foot forward. It's been trained on both A Recruitment AiDE (to find the same publicly available content I'd use when consulting on a vacancy to ensure it's ship shape) and A Career Breakdown Kit (the guide to navigating our unpredictable jobs market). The report uses elements from both the tools above and includes a detailed SWOT analysis, advice on what to research, guides on potential interview questions, and infers the hidden pain of a vacancy that often dictates who is considered. You can find it, together with instructions on how to use it, here: CV-Vacancy-Analysis.
  4. Is it a scam? Job scams are on the rise. If you're suspicious about a message you've received, this tool can help verify what it actually is. Is It A Scam.
  5. LinkedIn profile optimiser (version 2 beta is now live, with improvements based on user feedback). The goal is to be more discoverable for your ideal job. It optimises your profile to be found when recruiters use Recruiter Licence - the number 1 recruitment tool on LinkedIn used to fill jobs, often when they aren't advertised. As well as getting found, the tool advises on converting interest to action - no good being found if a recruiter chooses not to contact you, and because Recruiter is separate from the public dashboard, you'll never know they viewed your profile. Lastly, it corroborates what's in your CV with what is publicly visible on LinkedIn - this is so important as verifiability becomes a priority in our AI world. The tool is in beta because there are a lot of moving parts and I need to fine tune based on your feedback - let me know what works and what needs improving (greg.wyatt@bwrecruitment.co.uk). Here is the tool: LinkedIn Profile Diagnostic.
  6. Interview briefing tool. Help prepare for your interview with a comprehensive briefing document. Learn more about the employer and who you are meeting. Infer what they are likely to be actually looking for, above and beyond the documentation. Identify questions you are likely to be asked and how to consider answering. Interview Briefing Tool.
  7. AI/Video Interview diagnostic tool. Take part in a dummy video interview based on questions likely to be asked of your applications. Upload a job description and generate predicted questions. Get critiques and suggestions on improvements (Live transcription requires Chrome -other browsers will not capture audio reliably. Transcription is around 90% accurate. Your recording exists only in your browser session and is gone when you close the tab. Microphone and webcam permissions must be granted — click the camera icon in the address bar if prompted. If transcription is not picking up your voice, check that the correct microphone is selected at chrome://settings/content/microphone.) Interview diagnostic tool.
  8. Rejection decoder. A tool that analyses your CV, the vacancy you've been rejected for, and information found in the public domain, to explain why you might not have been successful. It may give you closure, and it may help improve other applications. Rejection Decoder.
  9. Salary Negotiation Insights (BETA). This tool may not come out of Beta, because it is advisory rather than declarative. This shares points to think about, whether an offer might be fair, how you can navigate a salary negotiation. However each situation is different, with companies having very different stances on negotiation. Go in armed with knowledge, do your research and read the room. Salary Negotiation Insights


These tools will never incur a charge from me. They are run on Anthropic tokens, using Claude's large language model, so you'll need to buy an API key to use it yourself. See below for notes on how to get a key, privacy and use.


If you find any of the tools helpful, I'd ask you to consider buying A Career Breakdown Kit or A Recruitment AiDE as a thank you. These books represent my best advice on navigating the jobs market and on writing recruitment messaging that appeals to key hires, so you'll find value in them too.


There's no obligation to pay, so only buy one of the books if you get sufficient value from the tools, and you can afford to.


Hope you find them helpful!


Greg


Some caveats

Never forget these are 'AI' tools. These are only ever as good as the inputs - a vague CV with a vague advert produces a weak report. And LLMs are invariably as confident when they are wrong or have made facts up, as when they are right. For substantive insight - one that makes, breaks, or informs a decision - do additional research to form your own conclusion.


If you run a tool twice in succession it will generate slightly different results. This includes running the tool again after taking its advice - which may produce contradictions. This is unfortunately the baked in nature of large language models - try doing the same with a human, and that may well happen too!


Where you go into any activity with limited knowledge or experience, these will be both valuable, and better than much of what is available, because of their training material: A Career Breakdown Kit, A Recruitment AiDE, and my engineering.



A note on API keys, data, and privacy


These tools run on Claude, made by Anthropic. To use them you will need your own Anthropic API key — think of it as a utility meter that covers the small cost of each report (around 15p to 25p depending on the tool and what searches it runs). You are paying Anthropic directly for the computing; nothing comes to me.

Setting one up takes about five minutes:

  1. Go to console.anthropic.com and create an account.
  2. Add a small amount of credit under Billing. £5 is plenty for dozens of reports.
  3. Under API Keys, create a key and copy it. Consider setting a spending limit on your account balance while you are there — it caps your exposure if you ever leave a session open.
  4. Paste it into the tool when prompted. It stays in your browser and is not shared with me.
  5. There is no subscription, so when the budget is used up, that's it. You can renew or set a recurring amount if you choose.


How your data is handled:

This site stores nothing. No data you enter is retained by this site, its code, or its operator. The site is a static HTML interface with no backend, no tracking scripts, and no database. Your key and your data live only in your browser's temporary memory. When you close the tab, they are gone.


For the purpose of this processing, I define the prompts and outputs. Anthropic processes the data as a third-party processor under their commercial terms. You retain control of your own data throughout. Because you are using a developer API key, Anthropic's commercial terms apply: they do not use API-submitted data to train their models, and they delete API request logs after 7 days. You can read their full policy at anthropic.com/privacy.


If you inspect the code and see a header called      anthropic-dangerous-direct-browser-access       — that is Anthropic's standard protocol for direct browser-to-API communication. It is required for this architecture to work and is not a security concern.


A note on intended use:


These tools are designed for individuals evaluating their own career data, and for employers analysing their own roles and processes. If you are an employer or recruiter considering running a candidate's personal data through these tools without their knowledge, be aware that you carry the compliance responsibility for that decision. This architecture is stateless — there is no session history I can retrieve on your behalf if a Subject Access Request is issued. That liability sits with you.
