The short answer

HRLens is a resume builder for laid off tech workers who need to turn a stale resume after layoff into a sharp, ATS-ready application. You upload your current CV, get instant feedback on impact, skills, clarity, and Workday or Greenhouse fit, then rewrite it for the roles you actually want.

Why HRLens

1

Rewrite the layoff story

HRLens helps you frame a layoff as a business event, not a personal failure. It keeps the focus on shipped work, measurable outcomes, and the skills you still bring to a new team.

2

Fix ATS parsing issues

Two-column layouts, vague headings, and keyword-light bullets still break parsing in systems like Workday and Taleo. HRLens flags the structural problems fast and shows you how to make your resume readable to both software and humans.

3

Rewrite engineer bullets better

If your software engineer resume rewrite sounds generic, you won't stand out in a crowded pipeline. HRLens turns task-heavy bullets into proof of ownership, scale, latency, reliability, revenue impact, or cost savings.

4

Target each application faster

In a market flooded with AI-generated applications, generic resumes disappear. HRLens works like a focused tech job search tool: compare your CV to the role, spot missing terms, and tailor fast without starting over.

Upload your current resume in PDF or DOCX, then choose the tech role you want next.

2
Step 2

Review the score

3
Step 3

Rewrite for the role

The pain

I was laid off, and now every short tenure or gap feels like a red flag on paper.

The pain

My software engineer resume rewrite sounds bland, like ChatGPT guessed what recruiters want.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to say I was laid off on my resume?
You usually don't need the words laid off on the resume itself. A strong resume after layoff keeps the focus on business impact, stack, scope, and outcomes. If the context matters, add it briefly in a cover letter or interview using neutral language such as role eliminated in a company restructuring.
How do I handle a recent gap after a layoff?
A recent gap after a layoff looks much stronger when you show active momentum. Add consulting, freelance projects, open-source work, certifications, contract roles, or serious interview prep if they reflect real effort. Hiring managers want evidence that your skills are current and that you stayed engaged instead of disappearing from the market.
Can HRLens help with a software engineer resume rewrite?
Yes. HRLens is especially useful for a software engineer resume rewrite because it pushes weak bullets toward concrete proof: systems owned, traffic handled, latency improved, incidents reduced, cloud costs cut, and features shipped. That makes your resume easier for recruiters and hiring managers to scan than generic AI text.
Will this help my resume work better in Workday and Greenhouse?
Yes. HRLens checks structure, section labels, dates, keyword coverage, and clarity so your resume is easier to parse in systems such as Workday and Greenhouse. It won't promise magic rankings, but it will help you remove common formatting and content problems that stop qualified tech candidates from getting seen.
Why use HRLens instead of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can produce fast drafts, but they usually need strong prompting and they don't analyze your existing CV the way a dedicated resume tool does. HRLens scores your document across five dimensions, flags ATS issues, and turns the feedback into a focused rewrite instead of generic filler.
Is HRLens just a resume builder or also a tech job search tool?
HRLens is both a resume builder and a practical tech job search tool for the application stage. It helps you analyze your current CV, rewrite it for a target role, and spot missing signals before you apply. It does not replace networking, but it does make every application sharper and faster to send.
