The CVWiser Chrome extension reads job postings only when you click Capture. Review the fields, see advisory eligibility warnings when your profile is set up, check your match score and gaps while you are still on the job page, then decide whether to open CVWiser or create an application package. Skip weak fits without wasting a credit. Included on every plan at no extra cost.

How it works
The point of the extension is not autofill. It is capture → match → decide → package, so you only tailor roles that are worth your time and credits.
- 1
Open a job posting
Browse LinkedIn (best supported), Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, or most company career pages with a job listing.
- 2
Capture from this tab
Click Capture in the extension popup. Nothing runs in the background until you do. The extension pulls job title, company, page URL, and job description.
- 3
Review and edit fields
Check the captured fields. Fix anything the extractor missed so eligibility checks, match score, and package generation use the right posting text.
- 4
See eligibility warnings (when your profile is set up)
If you saved location, work authorization, timezone, or languages on your profile, CVWiser may flag possible eligibility mismatches. These are advisory only and separate from your ATS match score. Dismiss and generate anyway; warnings never block package creation.
- 5
See your match score before you generate
Still on the job page, you get a match % against your master profile, short gap notes, and a plain cue such as “Strong match, worth tailoring.” Use this as a go / no-go before spending a package credit. Eligibility warnings stay separate from this score.
- 6
Decide: skip, open, or create a package
If the fit is weak, walk away without generating. If it is worth it, choose Open in CVWiser or Create application package. Optionally keep Track this application on so the role lands in your tracker.
- 7
Tailor and export in CVWiser
In the package editor, generate a tailored CV and cover letter from your real profile, run consistency checks, export PDF/DOCX, then submit on the employer site.
