Editing your profile
An extraction is a good first draft, not a final answer. Everything it produced is editable, one section at a time.
The sections
Profile lists them as tabs down the side, or across the top on a narrow screen. The names below are those tab labels.
- CV — upload a file, or re-extract from the one already on file. No fields of its own.
- Contact — Name, Email, Phone, Location and Links. This is the block printed at the top of the CVs Rolehound generates for you, so an out-of-date phone number here goes out on real applications.
- Summary — Headline, Summary, Seniority level and Years of experience.
- Experience — your roles, each with a company, title, period, location and bullet points.
- Education — qualification, institution and period.
- Skills & Targeting — Target titles, Skills, Sectors, Must-haves and Dealbreakers.
- Certifications & Other — Certifications, plus a free-text Other field for anything that fits nowhere else.
Each section has its own Save, and an edit is not stored until you use it. A saved section confirms with Saved.
What the AI actually sees
Two different jobs read this profile, and they read different parts of it.
Fit scoring is sent your headline, seniority, years of experience, target titles, skills, sectors, must-haves, dealbreakers and summary — and, of the role, only its title, employer, location, work mode and salary. It does not read the job description. So the fields on Skills & Targeting and Summary are the ones that move a score. Correcting a job title deep in Experience will not, on its own.
Drafting a tailored CV and cover letter reads the whole profile, work history and all. That is where Experience, Education and Certifications earn their place — they are what gets rewritten around the role you picked.
Saving any section makes your existing fit scores stale, and they are worked out again on the next run against the corrected profile. You do not have to do anything to trigger that.
Target titles are not search titles
Two similar-sounding settings, in two different places, doing two different jobs.
Target titles, on Skills & Targeting, describe the kind of role you want. They are read by the scorer as part of your profile.
Search titles, on the Search tab, are the words the searches actually run on. They are seeded from your target titles once, when you first import a CV, and are independent afterwards — editing one does not change the other. See search titles.
Where to spend the effort
Ten minutes on Skills & Targeting and Summary is worth an hour anywhere else, because those are the fields every score is measured against. Must-haves and dealbreakers in particular are worth stating plainly rather than leaving as whatever the extraction guessed — they are the shortest way to tell the scorer what a bad match looks like, and a list you can trust to sort itself is the whole point.
