How it works

One master résumé.
Every tailored version,
written from the same source.

Most AI résumé tools start from zero on every run. Mordant doesn't. We keep a canonical record of everything you've actually done, then match its bullets against the role in front of you. The output is grounded in your real history, not a generic press release.

The core idea

Your master is the source. Every tailored résumé is a translation.

Think of it like a writer with a notebook. The master is the notebook — every project, every metric, every shipped initiative. The tailored résumé is the page they hand to one specific reader.

A
The master holds everything

~47 bullets across 6 roles, with metrics, dates, and the messy bits you don't always include. It lives in a markdown editor you control.

B
The JD names what matters

We parse the job description for the signals that actually count: domains, seniority, archetype, the outcomes the hiring team is hunting for.

C
Mordant picks and rewrites

The strategist ranks which of your bullets best answer this JD. The tailorer rewrites them in your chosen voice. You get back a one-page recruiter-ready PDF.

The pipeline

Three agents, working a relay.

Each stage has one job and hands off cleanly. The workspace shows the full run live; here's the shape.

01 · Strategist
Reads the room

Maps the company against your master, picks the narrative angle, and ranks 12–18 of your bullets as the candidate set for this role.

02 · Tailorer
Writes the page

Rewrites each selected bullet in your chosen voice. Verb sharpening and anti-jargon checks run inline on every pass.

03 · Validator
Pressure-tests

Renders the PDF, measures page-fill, and confirms a recruiter can scan it in six seconds before it lands.

Typical wall-clock: 35–55 seconds from paste to PDF.
Always on

Four checks run on every single tailoring pass.

No knobs to turn, no upsell. The floor — what every Mordant résumé gets, included in the base run cost.

01
JD intelligence
Reads the role, picks the angle

Analyzes the JD against your master résumé. Decides the narrative arc, the company archetype, and the keywords that matter most.

02
Verb sharpener
Kills weak and passive verbs

Hunts "helped," "assisted," "was responsible for." Replaces with direct, voice-appropriate verbs.

03
Anti-jargon pass
Makes it sound human

Strips corporate jargon and AI-résumé phrases. Injects lived-in detail so each bullet sounds like a person, not a press release.

04
Six-second scan check
Validates F/Z-pattern scan

Confirms a recruiter can read name, title, summary, and your top three bullets in six seconds. Flags any bullet longer than two rendered lines.

Voice

The same achievement, written five different ways.

One bullet in your master can become five different sentences depending on who's reading. Five voices, each tuned to a different hiring culture.

Scannable
Bold leading clauses, scannable in six seconds.
IC, Lead, Manager, Senior PM, Director (non-exec)
Executive
Two-page retained-search format.
Head of, VP, SVP, C-Level, Senior Director
Lagom
Understated Swedish confidence, just the right amount.
Spotify, Schibsted, Electrolux, H&M, ASSA ABLOY, Sinch, Tobii
Traditional
Classic prose summary and core competencies.
Finance, government, large legacy enterprise
Power
Aggressive, ownership-forward, alpha-culture override.
Builder-at-scale roles where ownership signal must scream
Why a master résumé

Because a tailored résumé is only as honest as its source.

Generic AI résumé tools invent. They take a JD, hallucinate plausible accomplishments, and hand you back a sheet of corporate fiction. It reads well for ten seconds and falls apart in the interview.

Mordant is different because the master résumé is upstream of everything. The tailorer can only choose from what's actually in your record. It can rephrase, sharpen, and reorder. It will not fabricate. The result reads like you, because it is you.

Upload once. Tailor a hundred times. Never re-type your career.
