Fit - CV Maker Review: Is It Worth It in 2026?
· Reviewed by Dan
A Chrome extension that checks your resume against a job posting and tailors it from your own facts, with every change shown as a diff.
Who Is It For?
Fit - CV Maker is for people who already have a resume and are applying online to specific job postings. You know each application should match the posting. You just don't have time to rewrite your resume every time, and you're getting very few replies.
It works best if you apply from a desktop computer in Chrome. LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages, any job site works, because you paste the posting yourself.
It's not the right tool if you need to build your first resume from a blank template. It's also not for recruiters looking for applicant tracking software, or for people who apply from their phone.
What I Like
I like that it starts from your resume, not a template. A lot of AI resume tools write new bullet points for you. That's how you end up with a resume that sounds like everyone else's, or with claims you can't back up in an interview. Fit - CV Maker only works with what's already on your resume. It reorders, rephrases and brings the relevant experience forward.
The diff is the best part. Every edit shows as a redline, so you see exactly what changed before the resume goes out. That's how it should work with AI. You stay in control, and the tailored version is still yours.
The free ATS check is a good way to start. Paste the job description and you get a score, plus every term from the posting you already cover, can bring forward, or lack. Nothing is held back behind a paywall in that step. Even if you don't tailor anything, you learn something about your resume.
I also like that it's one flow. The ATS check, the tailored resume, the cover letter and the job tracker record all happen in one run, in Chrome's side panel next to the posting. The cover letter is written from the same facts, so it matches the resume. And every posting you tailor for becomes a tracker record without you typing anything. Normally that's four separate tools.
What Could Be Better
It's desktop Chrome only. No phone, no other browsers. A lot of people browse jobs on their phone, so I would make that clear early.
The interface is English only for now. If you're applying in other languages, check that first.
You paste the job posting, it doesn't read the page on its own. That's one extra step. The upside is that it works on any site, so I think that trade-off is fine.
The ATS score points at gaps, it's not a pass guarantee. Every ATS calculates its score differently. I would treat it as a checklist, not a grade.
The job tracker is deliberately simple. Four statuses: drafted, applied, interviewing, closed. No notes, no reminders, no analytics. If you run a serious job search with many follow-ups, you'll probably still want a spreadsheet next to it.
Tailoring requires signing in with Google, and your resume text is processed by an AI model to produce the tailored version. That's normal for this kind of tool, but read the privacy policy if it matters to you.
And it's new. It launched in November 2026, so the store listing doesn't have many reviews yet.
Verdict
I like the approach. Tailor the resume you already have, show every change, and don't invent anything. That's the right way to use AI for job applications.
My take is based on the public website and product information, not a hands-on test. If you apply to several specific jobs from your laptop and you're not hearing back, start with the free ATS check on one posting. If the gaps it finds make sense, let it tailor the resume and read the diff before you send.
