This page explains how the articles on resumematcher.fyi are made: who writes them, where the facts come from, how AI is used, how translations work and how to report a mistake. It covers the blog. The docs describe the app itself and change with each release.

Who writes the articles

Articles are published under the name of the person responsible for them, usually Saurabh Rai, who created Resume Matcher in 2020 and maintains it. Every article is reviewed by its author before it goes live, and the byline links to the author's background.

How an article is made

  1. Topic. Topics come from what job seekers search for, especially software engineers and students, and from questions the community asks on GitHub and Discord.
  2. Research. We gather primary sources first: vendor and careers pages, official documentation, GitHub repositories and published research.
  3. Writing. Some articles start from the author's own notes and dictation. Others are drafted with AI from an outline and the collected sources. Either way, the author reviews and edits the text before it is published.
  4. Fact-checking. Claims about Resume Matcher are checked against its source code. Claims about other products, such as prices, plans and star counts, are checked on the vendor's own site or on GitHub, and the article says when they were checked.
  5. Formatting and publishing. AI helps with editing, grammar and formatting. The author signs off on the final version.

How we use AI

Every article ends with a short note in brackets that says how AI was used for that article: either drafted, edited and formatted with AI help, or edited, grammar-corrected and formatted with AI help. Older articles that have not been changed carry no note.

AI does not replace the checks above. We do not publish statistics we cannot trace to a source, and we do not invent quotes, reviews or test results.

Sources and examples

  • Outside facts link to their source where they are used.
  • Sample resumes, names and numbers in examples are fictional, and the article says so.
  • Quotes from companies, such as careers-page guidance, are attributed and linked.

Resume Matcher in our articles

Resume Matcher is our project. When an article compares it with other tools, it says that we build it. We describe it as what it is: a free, open-source, self-hosted resume tailoring app. We do not claim it predicts or passes any employer's applicant tracking system. The official facts page lists what it is and is not.

Translations

Selected articles and docs are also published in Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. They are translated from English with AI help and checked for structure, terminology and links. App labels match the strings the app itself uses in each language. Native-speaker review is planned. If a translation and the English version disagree, the English version is the reference.

Updates

Articles with time-sensitive facts, such as prices, free plans or GitHub stars, are rechecked at least once a quarter. When we change an article, the "Updated" date at the top changes with it.

Corrections

Found a mistake? Open an issue on GitHub or tell us on Discord. We correct factual errors as soon as we confirm them and update the article's date.
