Master Profile & Resumes
Last updated:
Maintaining your canonical candidate profile and managing role-tailored resume versions in Scoutly.
The Master Profile Philosophy
In traditional job hunting, candidates maintain dozens of disconnected Word documents named Resume_v3_Final_RealFinal.docx. It is nearly impossible to track which company received which version, or ensure your latest accomplishments are consistently reflected.
Scoutly replaces this chaos with a single Master Profile. You document every project, metric, certification, and skill in your master profile once. Scoutly's AI engine selectively pulls the most relevant evidence from this repository to generate targeted applications.
Core Profile Sections
Your Master Profile contains:
- Personal & Contact Details — name, email, phone, location, LinkedIn, GitHub, personal website, and portfolio links.
- Work Experience — past employment history with company names, titles, date ranges, and modular achievement bullet points.
- Technical & Soft Skills — categorized by languages, frameworks, cloud providers, and databases with self-assessed proficiency.
- Projects & Open Source — descriptions, technologies used, GitHub repository links, and live deployment URLs.
- Education & Credentials — universities, degrees, graduation years, academic honors, and verified professional certificates.
Managing Tailored Resumes
Every time you tailor an application for a specific employer, Scoutly saves a snapshot of that generated resume under that job record.
You can review the exact bullets, skills, and cover letter submitted to that company at any time—even months later during final-round partner interviews.
Exporting & Sharing
All stored resumes can be exported in multiple formats:
- Vector PDF (Typst) — guaranteed single-stream ATS-parseable PDF with embedded fonts.
- Plain Text / Markdown — formatted for pasting directly into text submission boxes or email introductions.
- JSON Resume Standard — portable open standard for programmatic export.
