5. ShapeCV Chrome Extension & Job Applications

Assistance Tool on Third-Party Portals

The ShapeCV Chrome Extension is a client-side productivity tool designed to assist job seekers on supported job boards and employer applicant tracking systems (such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and corporate portals). The extension operates locally on active application forms at your direct command.

User Responsibility for Applications

Final Review Requirement:

The Chrome Extension populates application fields based on your candidate profile and relevant page context. You are solely responsible for thoroughly reviewing, editing, and verifying all answers, uploaded documents, and disclosures before submitting your application to any employer. ShapeCV does not automatically submit applications without user interaction.

Third-Party Platforms & ATS Systems

ShapeCV is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partner to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn, or any third-party applicant tracking system or employer. You agree to comply with the terms of service and application guidelines of any employer or job platform you interact with.

6. AI-Assisted Features and Content Disclaimer

ShapeCV utilizes artificial intelligence (including OpenAI via the ShapeCV backend) to generate resume tailoring suggestions, job match assessments, and resolve complex application questions. While our AI systems strive for high precision, AI-generated suggestions are assistive in nature and may occasionally contain inaccuracies.

You remain solely responsible for the accuracy and truthful representation of your professional background. ShapeCV is not responsible for decisions made by recruiters, hiring managers, employers, or third-party ATS filters based on resumes, cover letters, or answers generated or autofilled by our Services.

7. Intellectual Property & Your Data Rights
