Shinsa
CV checker for honest job application verdicts
What this is
Checks your CV against a specific job posting and gives a blunt go/hold/skip verdict instead of an inflated match score, for job seekers who want an honest signal, not encouragement to apply everywhere.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Normalizes your CV once (roles, years, skills, languages), breaks a job posting into hard requirements versus nice-to-haves, and returns one verdict — GO, HOLD or SKIP. You log real outcomes after each application (no reply, rejection, interview, offer), and that log recalibrates future verdicts.
- What's different
- Gives a blunt go/no-go verdict instead of a match percentage, and says 'skip this' as readily as 'apply' since it has no incentive to encourage more applications.
- Pricing
- Free.
- Best for
- Job seekers who want an honest signal on a specific posting rather than encouragement to apply everywhere.

Other. Launched 11d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #554. Today, it's been quiet for 11 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #554 on PeerPush with 5 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Shinsa checks your CV against a specific job posting and gives one honest verdict: GO, HOLD, or SKIP, no matching percentage to second-guess. Most CV tools are built to encourage applying (more applications looks good for them), so they hand out inflated match scores that always seem to justify writing another cover letter. Shinsa has nothing to gain from that, so it says "skip this" as readily as "this one's worth it." Key features: your CV is normalized once (roles, years, skills, languages, no polish added), the job posting is broken down into hard requirements versus nice-to-haves, and you log real outcomes (no reply, rejection, interview, offer) after every application. That log feeds back into future verdicts — if Shinsa's been too strict, HOLD starts weighing more positive; if it's been too soft, hard requirements weigh heavier. The scoring visibly self-corrects instead of staying a black box. What makes it different: it's the only CV tool designed to tell you not to apply. No dashboard of vague percentages, no false encouragement, just a clear verdict and the specific gaps behind it, so you stop spending evenings on cover letters for roles you were never going to land. Built for job seekers who are tired of guessing whether a posting is worth their time. Free for 2 screenings a month; Priority tier unlocks new job-match alerts, application-pattern tracking, and interview prep drawn from your own CV gaps.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
