After I shared the AI CV experiment on LinkedIn, I got more interest than I was expecting. Not hype exactly, but thoughtful questions from recruiters and engineers who’d actually tried it and wanted to talk about how it might fit into the way hiring already works.
So I did what I usually do in that situation and spent most of the weekend turning it into something slightly more real. I also did a pasta making class, which felt like a reasonable balance.
The result is askmy.cv.
The idea is deliberately simple. You upload your CV, add a bit of context, and you get a dedicated profile where people can ask questions about your experience instead of trying to infer everything from a static PDF. It’s not meant to replace interviews, or automate hiring, or do anything especially clever. It’s just a conversational layer over information that already exists.
What’s been interesting, again, is less the tool itself and more what it reveals. When people are free to ask anything, you quickly see where your CV is doing a bad job of telling the story. The gaps. The assumptions. The things you thought were obvious but clearly aren’t. That’s been as useful for me as anything else.
A few recruiters I’ve spoken to have also pointed out a different angle: using something like this internally, before a face-to-face, as a cleaner way to hand candidates over to hiring managers. Not as a decision-maker, just as a way to give better context so interviews can start in the right place. That feels like a natural extension of the same idea, rather than a completely different product.
I’m not trying to build a hiring platform, this is mostly an experiment that grew legs. But it’s been a useful one, and it’s already made me think more carefully about how experience gets represented and evaluated.
If you’re curious, or if you spend time thinking about hiring from either side of the table, feel free to poke at it, and let me know what you think.
More soon, probably.
