StayHireable turns your CV into a video. A Career Story is a 30-second video on the Pro plan, with every number checked against your CV. A Career Film is painted from your career, on Max and Ultra. Your CV photo can move too, as a living portrait.
Career Story
A 30-second video of your career, made from your CV.
- Claude writes the hook, the lines and the pitch from your CV. Every number is checked against your CV, and a line with a number that is not there is dropped.
- It opens on your full name, role and place.
- A narrator speaks a line in each scene, over music of its own.
- Two cuts: 16:9 for LinkedIn and a site, and a vertical 9:16 for phones.
- Paste a job ad, and the Story is aimed at that job.
- With a photo, you appear framed beside the words. Download it as an MP4.
- 5 a month on Pro, 20 on Max and Ultra.
Career Film
A film painted from your career by an image model. You choose the type, then how it looks and sounds. It plays on your Career Site, and the Film first layout puts it under your name.
| Type | What it is | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Chronicle | One painted scene for each role or project, with your role and company on screen. Silent. | Max |
| Chronicle with music | The same scenes, cut to music of their own. | Ultra |
| Chronicle, narrated | The same scenes, with a narrator timed to each one and subtitles. | Ultra |
| Teaser | About 25 seconds made to send: a hook, your three latest roles in big type, cut to the beat, then the ask. Your numbers only if you turn them on. | Max |
| Manifesto | About 20 seconds: three statements about your work, written from your CV, over three moving shots of you, then your name. | Ultra |
On Ultra, the scenes can also move: a blink, a slight settle, with the camera held still. 2 a month on Max, 5 on Ultra.
Living portrait
On Max and Ultra, your CV photo can become a short, silent loop made from the photo itself. It plays in the builder and on your Career Site. The PDF and PNG keep the still photo. It is made only when you choose Animate photo.
What leaves your region
Claude, by Anthropic, writes the words. xAI paints the Films, animates the portrait and speaks the voices. Each gets only what that video needs, never your email address or phone number, and both say in their API terms that they do not train on it. The finished video is stored in your career's data region. See the Privacy Policy.
New accounts get 7 days of Ultra, with no card. See every format on Products and the plans on Pricing.
Common questions
Can AI turn my CV into a video?
Yes. StayHireable's Career Story turns your CV into a 30-second video on the Pro plan. Claude writes the lines from your CV, every number is checked against it, and you get a 16:9 version and a vertical 9:16 version.
Does the video make things up?
The words come from your CV, and every number in a Career Story is checked against your CV before the video is made. A number that is not in your CV is not used.
What is the difference between a Career Story and a Career Film?
A Career Story is a 30-second video of your words and numbers, on Pro. A Career Film is painted from your career by an image model, on Max (Chronicle and Teaser) and Ultra (every type, with music, narration and moving scenes).
