The Firm Handshake Is Dead. I Built Its Replacement.

Every recruiter is using AI to screen resumes, so you have to use AI to get past them. But when everyone’s resume is keyword-perfect, how does anyone stand out? This week I built Proof, a tool that does the AI resume work for you, then gives you the part AI can’t fake: a custom project built for the specific company and role, so you show up with something no other applicant has. Inside Proof: 🔍 Deep company research with receipts (board goals, podcasts, hiring signals) 📝 Tailored resume with a before/after view so you stay in the loop ✅ The Proof Bank, where you verify every claim AI added so it never embellishes your experience 🎯 The Fit Brief, a project idea tailored to the role, plus interview talking points and a prompt to build it I walk through three examples: a Head of RevOps, a designer, and a lead engineer, each with a completely different project. You’re already spending hours prepping for interviews. Why not spend 30 more minutes getting ahead of everyone else? Next week might be my wildest one yet: Pokémon Go meets sales. 👀 🏆 Join my hackathon this November (virtual, async, anyone can join): juniply.com/challenges/001 ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Hiring at Synergy Corp 00:12 The AI resume problem 00:45 Why I built Proof 01:25 App tour 01:39 The Proof Bank: verifying what AI changed 02:20 Tailoring a RevOps application 02:49 Deep company research 03:13 Resume before/after + cover letter 03:36 Company intel report 04:01 The Fit Brief: a custom project for the role 04:31 Example: RevOps 30/60/90 plan + financial model 05:37 Example: Designer applying to Wayfair 06:12 Example: Lead engineer building a product 06:46 Why a little extra effort wins 08:38 Hackathon + next week’s build #buildinpublic #jobsearch #AI #resume #careeradvice
