Ashby + Cover Me — common questions
Do startups expect cover letters?
Small teams read applications closely — at many Ashby-using startups the hiring manager screens candidates personally. A letter that addresses their specific role and stack is a strong signal; a generic one is worse than none. Cover Me builds each letter from the posting’s actual requirements, so it always addresses the specific role.
Will the letter sound like AI wrote it?
Cover Me’s prompts explicitly forbid the clichés and AI tells — “I’m excited to apply…”, “As a passionate…” — and build the letter from concrete achievements in your resume using the posting’s own language. You can edit every word before sending.
Does Cover Me also tailor my resume for Ashby applications?
Yes. Click “Tailor Resume to Job” on any Ashby posting and Cover Me rewrites your resume bullets to match the role’s keywords, shows an ATS match score, and exports a formatted PDF.
