For universities and career services

Help every student build a successful career with an AI career coach.

Patch CV gives universities a way to deliver personalised career support at scale — AI CV optimisation, job matching, interview preparation and long-term career planning — for every student, not just the ones who reach an adviser in time.

Built for students and graduates AI-powered career guidance Designed for modern hiring
The challenge

Career support demand has outgrown the capacity to deliver it.

Employability sits in institutional KPIs, league tables and funding conversations. The expectation is personalised guidance for every student. The reality is a small team and a very large cohort.

Advisory capacity is finite

Thousands of students need career support each year. A team of advisers cannot deliver individual CV reviews, tailoring guidance and mock interviews at that volume — so support is rationed by who books first, not who needs it most.

Students are under-prepared for how hiring works

Most students write one CV and send it everywhere. They don't know how applicant tracking systems parse and rank them, how to tailor to a specific role, how to evidence achievement, or what an employer is actually assessing in an interview.

International students need more, and get less

Students applying into an unfamiliar labour market face different CV conventions, different recruitment norms and visa complexity — alongside a confidence gap that generic guidance does not close.

The solution

Every student gets their own AI Career Agent.

Not a CV template tool. An agent that learns each student's goals, skills, experience and progress, and stays with them across the whole journey from first draft to signed offer.

01

Career Profile Intelligence

The agent learns education, skills, experience, career goals, target roles and industry interests.

  • Education and academic background
  • Skills and demonstrated evidence
  • Experience, projects and placements
  • Career goals and target roles
  • Industry interests and location preferences

Personalised career recommendations that improve as the student uses the platform.

02

AI CV Intelligence

Recruiter-grade feedback on every version of a student's CV, in seconds rather than weeks.

  • Full CV analysis and scoring
  • ATS compatibility and formatting fixes
  • Achievement rewriting with real impact
  • Role-specific tailoring recommendations
  • Feedback from a recruiter's perspective

Application-ready CVs, without an adviser having to review each one.

03

AI Job Matching

Students stop applying blind and start applying with a strategy.

  • Which roles genuinely suit their profile
  • Skill gaps standing between them and a target role
  • Matching against live opportunities
  • A clear application strategy per role

Fewer, better applications — and a visible reason behind each one.

04

AI Interview Coach

Unlimited practice, available the night before the interview.

  • Technical interview practice
  • Behavioural and competency questions
  • Role-specific question sets
  • Structured feedback on every answer
  • Improvement suggestions and confidence scoring

Students walk in prepared, and the practice history feeds back into their profile.

How it works

Four steps, no staff overhead.

1

Student creates a career profile

They upload a CV and set their goals, target roles and preferred locations.

2

AI analyses experience and goals

The agent scores the profile, identifies strengths and gaps, and positions the student against the market.

3

Student receives a personalised roadmap

Clear next actions: skills to build, roles to target, applications to prioritise.

4

Applications and interviews improve

Tailored applications, practice interviews with feedback, and progress the student can see.

Partnership programme

90-Day AI Career Agent Pilot

  • AI job matching and skill gap analysis
  • Interview preparation with structured feedback
  • Usage analytics for the careers team

The university receives

  • Student engagement insights across the cohort
  • A written end-of-pilot feedback report
  • Employability improvement data you can report internally
  • A named contact throughout the 90 days
  • A costed proposal for full rollout — with no obligation
Why it matters to you

Benefits for the institution.

Improve graduate employability

Students arrive at the hiring market with stronger applications, sharper interview performance and a realistic view of what employers expect — the inputs behind graduate outcome metrics.

Support more students without more workload

The repeatable work is handled by the agent. Your team's time moves to the conversations that genuinely need a human — and to employer relationships.

Improve the student experience

Personalised support at 11pm on a Sunday, in every week of the year, with no waiting list. Support becomes something every student can reach.

Prepare students for AI-driven recruitment

Hiring is now algorithmic and opaque. Students learn how their applications are actually screened and ranked — a literacy your institution can credibly say it teaches.

Why Patch CV

Built by someone who went through it.

Patch CV was built by a software engineer and international graduate who navigated modern hiring first-hand: hundreds of applications filtered by systems that never explain themselves, and career advice that could not scale to the moment it was needed.

That experience shapes the product. It is not a CV template gallery — it is an agent designed around how screening, matching and interviewing actually work today, for people who are early in their careers and applying into markets that are new to them.

AI engineering background

The product is built directly on modern language models, with structured evaluation rather than prompt guesswork.

Data analytics expertise

Scoring, matching and reporting are grounded in measurable signals, not vague feedback.

Real-world job search experience

Every feature answers a problem the founder hit personally while job hunting as an international graduate.

Shipped product experience

A live platform with real users, a published Chrome extension, and a shipping cadence measured in days.

Working with us early

We are an early-stage company, and we are deliberate about that. Pilot partners get direct access to the founder, influence over the roadmap, and features shaped around their cohort — the kind of responsiveness that disappears once a vendor has thousands of institutional customers.

In return, we ask for honest feedback and permission to report anonymised, aggregate pilot outcomes.
