Want to like it but ...

First, the resume builder does not allow you to add free-form sections. Well, OK.
Next, the scoring seems off. I use Hyrerite which scores my resume at 86%, but Canyon only gives it a 63%. Mostly it seems to be overly picky about word count and number of bullet points. Ok, I could live with that.

I wanted to use it to create a resume with keywords from a job listing and tailor a new resume for that position. It does this ... sort of. But it stuffs all the keywords into the summary only. So the generated resume looks kind of spammy.

What I'd suggest Canyon do, is make a few videos on how to use the product, so we can see and understand the intended user journey. It might be a good product for customizing resumes. But it's hard to understand how to use it.

The way I think it could work is, make a basic resume, find a job, let Canyon make an updated version with AI that adds some suggestions to the experience section of the resume. Then let you edit and save that.

Two other annoyances, uploading my PDF resume in the resume builder failed everytime. And I cannot download the resumes in PDF, or any other format.

I hope they fix these things so I can keep this. Just not working for me yet.

Hey there,

Just wanted to update with our latest features:

1. The download resume and upload PDF resume issues have all been fixed.
2. The resume scorer has been tweaked to be more relevant and we have removed all unnecessarily picky criterias
3. The tailor a new resume has been improved a good amount and is much better now
4. We will be adding free form sections in 2 weeks

Sorry for the issues you faced. We'd really appreciate if you could try out Canyon again and let us know what you think.

Thank you!
