- Not in Norwegian: the account and CV can be in nine languages, but Norwegian is not one of them.
- The job search pulls from American recruitment systems, not from NAV or FINN.
- The tools require an account, including the score in the CV check.
- Pro costs USD 29 a month, around NOK 300 depending on the exchange rate, and there is no Pro trial.
- The privacy page does not say where the data is stored, says it may be processed outside the EEA, and still refers to the Privacy Shield, which the EU Court of Justice struck down in 2020 (rezi.ai/legal, read 28.10.2026).

- +«ATS view»: see your CV as plain text, in the order a recruitment system typically reads it, and export the same content as plain text.
