Proyo vs Enhancv: a CV comparison for students and new graduates (2026)

Enhancv is an online tool for building CVs and cover letters. It is known for polished templates and for letting you add non-standard sections such as awards, publications and quotes. According to its help centre, the free plan comes with Enhancv-branded downloads and content limits; unlimited documents, Content Analyzer and an ATS check against job postings are in the paid Pro subscription.

Enhancv's strength is carefully designing one CV. In internship and MT applications, though, the problem isn't one CV but dozens of different postings. Each posting wants different experience brought forward, and at large companies the CV first passes through an applicant tracking system — according to Jobscan, 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies use one.

When you pick a posting in Proyo, the AI reads it and your base CV, writes the summary for that role, brings the relevant experience forward and uses the posting's own wording where your CV supports it. It takes 15–20 seconds and adds nothing that isn't in your CV. Every posting gets its own CV, without you editing each one.

Eye-catching templates can work for CVs that go straight to a person. But for a CV that has to pass through an ATS, a simple layout is safer: in Ladders' eye-tracking study, simple layouts with clear sections and headings did well, while multi-column and cluttered ones did poorly. All of Proyo's templates (Classic, Modern, and Profile with an optional photo) are single-column; text is selectable, section headings are standard, and there are no tables, icons or text inside images.

A CV tool's job ends at the export. In Proyo, the CV is part of the application: you find the posting in the early-career feed or add it from LinkedIn in one click, the CV and cover letter are prepared, the application is tracked on your board with its stage, and before the interview you rehearse for five minutes out loud with an AI recruiter who has read the posting and your CV. The Grad Network shows real CVs accepted into the programmes you want.

Enhancv makes sense if:

• You are an experienced professional who wants one custom-designed CV.
• Your CV will mostly go directly to a person rather than through an ATS.

Internship, MT and graduate applications need a tailored, ATS-friendly CV for every posting, and the rest of the application.

Enhancv is a good CV builder; Proyo is an application platform. If you must choose one platform for your first internship or job, choose Proyo: it prepares a tailored, ATS-friendly CV for every posting itself, and manages listings and applications too.
