/apply

/apply is the heart of CareerForge. Give it a job posting — a link or pasted text, both work equally well — and it runs a seven-stage pipeline that ends with two print-ready PDFs and a new row in your application tracker.

First, it scores the fit — and asks

Before writing a word, it evaluates the role against your profile across five dimensions:

The weighted total maps to a verdict: Strong (75+), Good (60–74), Moderate (45–59), Weak (30–44), Poor (below 30). One override: if the location fails your constraints, the verdict is Poor no matter how good the skills match is — a job you can't take isn't a fit.

Then it stops and asks: proceed with drafting? That gate is yours. Say no and nothing is written; the evaluation alone is often worth the run.

Then it writes — within strict rules

• The CV is always in English, tailored to the posting, and exactly two pages when compiled.
• The cover letter is written in the posting's language — a Danish posting gets a Danish letter — exactly one page, focused on the problems you'd solve rather than re-listing your CV.
• Every claim must survive the interview test. If you couldn't comfortably back a sentence in an interview, it doesn't belong. Stretches are flagged to you: keep, soften, or drop?

A second AI checks the first

By default, a separate reviewer with a fresh perspective critiques both drafts — missed keywords, generic phrasing, angles about the company worth mentioning. The main agent then applies the good suggestions, and independently re-verifies any factual claim about the company before it's allowed into your letter.

You control the depth (and the cost):

Finally: compile, inspect, record

The documents are compiled to PDF and visually inspected — page counts, orphaned headings, font mismatches — and re-fixed until clean. Then the application is recorded in your tracker file with status Draft, the fit score, and the paths to both PDFs. A final verification checklist (factual accuracy, targeting, consistency, layout) runs once, and you get a short summary of the tailoring decisions it made.

What it will not do

• Submit the application. You review the PDFs and send them yourself.
• Invent experience. Reordering and emphasis are allowed; claiming skills you don't have is not.
• Touch your history. /apply only ever adds a row to your tracker — it never modifies existing ones.

What happens next: your application appears in the dashboard, where you'll update its status as things develop.
