Your Resume Has Gaps. We Turn Them Into Strengths.
Career breaks, industry pivots, missing skills — hiring managers see red flags. Kareeo's Bridge the Gap tool sees untold stories. Our AI identifies every gap between you and your dream job, then gives you the exact strategy to close it.
Why “Just Apply Anyway” Doesn't Work
The numbers tell a brutal story. Understanding why you're being filtered out is the first step to breaking through.

61%
of hiring managers reject career changers due to “irrelevant experience”
Three Gaps That Kill Applications — And How We Fix Them
Employment Gaps
The Problem:
A 6-month gap on your resume can cost you 45% of interview callbacks. ATS systems flag gaps as risk signals.
The Kareeo Fix:
Bridge the Gap analyzes your gap period, identifies activities that demonstrate growth (freelance work, caregiving, education), and writes a narrative that reframes your break as intentional development.
Career Pivots
The Problem:
Changing industries? Hiring managers see 'unrelated experience' where you see transferable skills.
The Kareeo Fix:
Our AI maps your existing skills to your target role's requirements, finds hidden overlaps, and generates tailored bullet points that speak the new industry's language.
Skill Deficiencies
The Problem:
Job descriptions list 15 required skills. You have 9. Most applicants give up or apply anyway and fail.
The Kareeo Fix:
Bridge the Gap ranks the missing skills by importance, shows you which ones are truly critical vs. nice-to-have, and creates a learning path so you can close the gaps that matter most — fast.
