why this verdict
Keep it — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the HR & recruiting job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI-written resumes made traditional profiles worthless as a signal. OpenAI, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: LinkedIn and Read.cv alternatives.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
When every CV and cover letter is generated, claimed experience stops being a signal. Peerlist leans on verified work — repositories, deployed projects, launches — which is the kind of proof that survives the flood. Its launchpad also became a real distribution channel for indie products.
