Category-Specific Forms
ReframeCV's intelligent form system that adapts resume input fields based on the detected job category — asking developers for GitHub links and tech stack, designers for portfolio URLs, and so on.
What Are Category-Specific Forms?
Category-Specific Forms are an adaptive input system used by ReframeCV that changes what information it asks for based on the type of role you're applying to. Instead of presenting every user with the same generic resume fields, the AI analyzes the job description and activates form sections tailored to that job category.
This ensures your resume captures the information that actually matters for your target role — not a one-size-fits-all template.
How It Works
When you paste a job description into ReframeCV, the Job-First Approach analyzes the posting and detects the role category. Based on that detection, the form adapts:
Software Engineering Roles
- GitHub profile URL and notable repositories
- Tech stack organized by proficiency and category
- Open source contributions and community involvement
- System-level impact metrics (latency, throughput, scale)
Design Roles
- Portfolio URL and case study links
- Design tools and methodologies
- User research and testing experience
- Measurable UX outcomes (task completion, NPS, adoption)
Product & Business Roles
- Revenue and growth metrics
- Stakeholder management scope
- Strategic initiative outcomes
- Cross-functional leadership examples
Marketing Roles
- Campaign performance metrics (CAC, ROAS, conversion)
- Channel expertise and tools
- Content strategy and audience growth
- Attribution and analytics platforms
Why This Matters for ATS
Generic resume builders ask the same questions regardless of role, which means critical role-specific information either gets omitted or buried in the wrong section. An ATS parsing a developer resume expects to find technical skills in a structured format — if your GitHub link is hidden in a footer or your tech stack is listed as prose, keyword matching suffers.
Category-Specific Forms solve this by ensuring role-critical content is captured upfront and placed where both ATS systems and human recruiters expect to find it.
The Result
A resume built with Category-Specific Forms isn't just keyword-optimized — it's structurally optimized for the specific expectations of that hiring pipeline. A backend engineer's resume looks and reads like a backend engineer's resume, not a generic professional document with some technical terms sprinkled in.
