Where ResumeRoo earns its keep.

Tailoring works from evidence: your profile and your STAR examples. Every claim in the rewrite holds up.

Your profile, from one upload.

Drag in your resume and ResumeRoo extracts every role, date and achievement, plus your STAR examples, into a clean, editable profile you reuse for every application. No more re-typing your history for each job.

Criterion mapping

Every criterion matched to your strongest STAR example.

Built around how the APS actually hires.

ResumeRoo isn't a generic resume tool pointed at government. It understands the merit process it's built to serve.

Knows the APS

Classifications from APS 1 to SES, the Integrated Leadership System, and merit-based selection, built in rather than bolted on.

Reads the real sources

From live APS Jobs listings to uploaded candidate information kits, ResumeRoo reads the selection criteria straight from the source, not a guess at them.

Is it okay to use AI for APS applications?

ResumeRoo drafts and tailors, and you review and submit. Every claim it writes maps back to your own STAR examples, so the merit story stays yours. Agencies differ in how they treat AI assistance, so check the candidate information kit for the role you’re applying for.

Where does my data go?

Your profile lives in your private career vault. When you tailor an application, only the content that task needs is sent to ResumeRoo’s AI providers through OpenRouter, under agreements that limit how it’s used. You can export or delete everything at any time. See the Privacy policy.

Read the AI processing section
Does it work for state or local government roles?

ResumeRoo is built APS-first: APS Jobs sync, the Integrated Leadership System, and merit-based selection. Any role with a duty statement works too. Paste or upload the candidate information kit and ResumeRoo reads its criteria.

What do I get on the free plan?

A profile built from your resume upload, capture and reuse of STAR examples, APS Jobs browsing, and one tailored application to try it. Pro unlocks unlimited tailoring, criterion-to-STAR auto-mapping, and Word and PDF export.

Can I take my career history with me?

Yes. Export your tailored applications to Word and PDF, download your full profile from Settings, or delete your account entirely. Your career stays yours.
