DIY AI vs. SubmIQ
AI can write a resume. It still won't save you time — or get it submission-ready.
DIY AI still means prompting, copy-pasting, and reformatting by hand. SubmIQ takes any resume straight to a submission-ready Word document, in a fraction of the time.
Every DIY AI resume still costs you time — writing the prompt, checking the output, reformatting it yourself. SubmIQ was built for the staffing workflow, removing every one of those steps. Here's how the two compare.
