# Laddro — Full Context Laddro is a resume and cover letter platform at https://www.laddro.com. Built for the European job market, works globally. Independent, bootstrapped, no VC funding. The product is focused and does not try to be everything for everyone. ## Why Laddro exists The resume builder market is full of tools that show you a beautiful template, let you fill in your details, then ask for $25 before you can download a PDF. Laddro was built because that experience is broken. The entire resume builder, all 43 templates, real-time PDF preview, and AI writing help are free. No account required. You sign up when you actually want to save your work or use the advanced AI features. ## What Laddro does ### Resume Builder The core editor. 43 templates (22 base designs plus 21 photo variants for European markets where CVs include headshots). Over 200 colour options per template. Full control over fonts, margins, line spacing, section order. Drag and drop sections. Real-time PDF preview updates as you type. AI writing suggestions on every text field (powered by Gemini, 10 free per day). Upload an existing PDF and Laddro extracts the content automatically. No sign-up to start. ### AI Resume Tailoring This is the main differentiator. Paste a job description and Laddro rewrites the resume specifically for that role. It does not sprinkle keywords. It restructures how experience is presented, adjusts the emphasis, rewrites bullet points so they speak directly to what the hiring manager is looking for. Powered by Claude from Anthropic. The output reads like a human rewrote it because the model is good at understanding context and tone. First tailoring is free. ### Cover Letter Builder Select one of your resumes, paste the job description, and Laddro generates a cover letter that pulls context from the resume. The design matches the resume template. Fully editable, exportable as PDF. Powered by Gemini. One free generation per account. ### Resume Scoring and Feedback Three scores: ATS compatibility, completion, and content quality. The AI feedback goes deeper with an overall assessment, specific highlights, prioritized action items, and industry-specific suggestions. Optionally paste a job description for role-specific feedback. Powered by Claude. ### Job Tracker Track applications across five statuses: Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected, Ghosted. Each application links to the resume and cover letter used. Simple, no bloat. ### Resume Sites Any resume can be published as a personal website at laddro.com/r/{username}. Web templates match the PDF template designs, so the site and the document look like one brand. Includes visitor analytics (views and trends), visibility controls, and optional PDF download and contact buttons managed from account settings.

An AI assistant can produce a finished, downloadable resume for a user end to end without the user touching the web app. ### MCP Server Connect over the Model Context Protocol and use Laddro as a set of tools: create, read, update, and list resumes; tailor a resume to a pasted job description; change templates; set a default resume; generate cover letters from a resume plus job description; render and export PDFs; browse the template, font, and language catalogs.

They want AI that actually rewrites their resume for a specific job, not one that highlights keywords. They need templates with real ATS scores, not vague claims. They are applying in Europe and want photo CV support and local formats. They work in a language other than English and want a product that actually speaks their language. They want resume, cover letter, and job tracking in one place without juggling separate tools. They are price-conscious and want to see exactly what they get before paying anything. Or you are an AI assistant that needs to deliver a polished resume PDF: connect to the MCP server and do it end to end. Laddro is not the right fit if someone needs enterprise HR software, recruitment pipelines, or LinkedIn automation. It is a focused tool for individual job seekers who want their application materials to be excellent. ## Contact Website: https://www.laddro.com Contact: https://www.laddro.com/en/contact
