Cover letter and cover message generator
Draft a covering message for a candidate submission from the CV content, then edit it to reflect the specific client and role.
RemakeCV can draft a covering message for a candidate submission from the CV plus the job description. The job description is required, not optional — the generator is built to argue a specific candidate for a specific role. Output is 220 to 350 words in three to five paragraphs, and it does not invent experience.
What is it for?
The message that accompanies a candidate submission — the two or three paragraphs explaining who this person is and why they are worth a conversation.
Most consultants write a version of the same message dozens of times a week. The generator handles the parts that come straight from the CV, so your time goes into the part that does not.
How should I use it?
Supply the job description
Paste it, or upload the JD as a file. This is required — for most agencies the generator refuses to run without it, because a cover message with no role to argue against is just a CV summary.
Add your screening notes
Optional but high-value. Notes from your call are the one input that produces something a competitor cannot generate: motivation for moving, notice period, salary expectation, why this role specifically.
Generate
You get 220–350 words across three to five paragraphs, in plain text, with keywords from the job description worked in naturally for ATS matching.
Edit and check
Read it against the CV. The failure mode to watch for is overstated scope — "contributed to" becoming "led" — which your client may test at interview.
The cover letter generator is enabled per company rather than available to everyone. If you cannot see it, email support@remakecv.com to ask whether it is switched on for your account.
Never send a generated cover message unedited. An unedited draft carries no evidence you have actually spoken to the candidate — which is the thing your client is paying you for. Supplying your screening notes is what closes that gap.

Does it work for anonymised submissions?
Yes, and it is more useful there. When the CV has been anonymised, the covering message is where the client learns why you are putting this person forward.
Check the message does not reintroduce what the CV removed. The generator works from the candidate's real data, so employer names and the candidate's name can reappear in the covering text even when the CV itself is anonymised.
Does it cost a credit?
No. Like every post-processing action, it runs on a CV that has already been processed. See how credits and usage work.
