Project Case Study

Overview

CareerQ brings the core steps of a job search into one platform: building a professional CV, checking it against a job description, finding relevant roles, and tracking applications from saved to interview.

The Challenge

Job seekers send applications and rarely hear back

CVs are inconsistently formatted and not tailored to each role

Missing keywords can make a CV easy to skip in ATS screening

Applications get scattered across emails, notes, and browser tabs

Constraints

Built for Nigerian job seekers, with a free-to-start model

Needed to work smoothly on mobile, where many job seekers browse and apply

Had to stay honest: no promises of interviews or jobs

The Results

One platform bringing together a CV builder, ATS checker, job discovery, and an application tracker

Core tools

Every new user starts free, with a CV builder, 10 job applications, and 3 ATS checks

Free plan

Live since 2025 at careerq.ng, with a referral program built in for growth
