For developers

The developer resume builder that reads your GitHub.

Turn repositories, profile signals, and your existing CV into a role-tailored, ATS-aware resume. Your code is the evidence — TailorJob translates it into resume language.

How do I build a resume from GitHub?

Pick the repositories that best evidence the skills your target role asks for, then translate each into resume language — what it does, the stack, and your contribution. TailorJob reads the repo and profile signals you authorize, proposes project selections and bullets, and you approve every line.

Most resume tools treat GitHub as a link in a header. TailorJob treats it as structured evidence: repository activity, languages, and contribution patterns feed project selection and technical bullets, then merge with your LinkedIn and uploaded CVs so the final resume covers work that never made it into a repo.

Step by step

How it works

01

Connect GitHub

Authorize the scopes you're comfortable with. You choose what stays connected, and you can disconnect anytime.

02

Select the projects that matter

Repos are surfaced by relevance to your target role — pick the ones that evidence the skills the posting asks for.

03

Merge your other evidence

LinkedIn experience and uploaded CVs fill in employment history, education, and work that isn't public.

04

Generate, review, export

Proposed bullets are grounded in the signals you connected — review every line, then export a LaTeX-rendered PDF.

Details

Built for technical evidence

The parts of your career that never fit in a form — projects, stacks, contributions — are the parts this builder is designed to read.

Project selection

Repositories surfaced by relevance to the role, with the reasoning visible — you make the final pick.

Stack and language signals

Languages and technologies drawn from your actual repositories, not a skills checkbox list.

Open-source contributions

Contributions to projects you don't own can evidence exactly the skills a posting asks for — surfaced when relevant.

Technical bullets in resume language

“What it does, your stack, your contribution” — translated into lines recruiters and hiring managers can read.

De-duplicated history

Employment from LinkedIn and CVs merges with repo evidence — one timeline, no repeated claims.

Per-role re-pitching

Paste a job description and the same evidence gets re-pitched for that role. Your code doesn't change; the emphasis does.

Sample

From repo to resume line

Sample translations

Repo — realtime-dashboard (TypeScript, sole maintainer)
Built and shipped a realtime TypeScript dashboard; owned architecture and the WebSocket data layer.
Profile — recurring contributions to an open-source parser library
Contribute fixes and documentation to an open-source parser library used in production.

Sample only — bullets are generated from the signals you authorize and reviewed line by line before export.

Honesty first

You control the connection

Your GitHub is your work record, and access to it is yours to grant. Connecting is scoped, reversible, and feeds drafts you review — nothing publishes itself.

  • Connect GitHub with the scopes you authorize; disconnect anytime.
  • Repo and profile signals feed bullets you review line by line.
  • Private work stays private — use your CV or LinkedIn for anything you can't share.
FAQ

Questions, answered directly.

How do I put GitHub projects on my resume?

Pick two to four repositories that evidence the skills your target role asks for, and describe each with what it does, your stack, and your contribution — then link the repo. TailorJob proposes the selection and drafts the bullets from signals you authorize.

Which GitHub projects should I include?

Ones with real substance: original work, sustained contribution history, or relevance to the posting's core skills. Skip tutorial walkthroughs and abandoned forks — they dilute the signal. TailorJob surfaces repos by relevance to the role so the shortlist is evidence-based.

Should I include open-source contributions?

Yes, when they evidence skills the posting asks for. Contributions to established projects show you can work in someone else's codebase — often exactly what “collaboration” requirements mean.

Can TailorJob see my private repositories?

Only what you authorize when you connect — you control the scopes, and you can disconnect anytime. For work you can't share, upload your CV or use LinkedIn instead.

Does it work for engineers without GitHub?

Yes — LinkedIn and CV imports carry the pipeline on their own. GitHub simply gives developers the richest, most verifiable evidence, which is why TailorJob started here.
