Proyo vs Teal: an application tracking and AI CV comparison (2026)

Teal is a platform that brings the job search into one workspace: an AI-assisted CV builder, a Kanban-style application tracking board, and a Chrome extension that saves listings in one click from dozens of job sites such as LinkedIn. It compares your CV with a posting and gives a match score. Its core features are free; more advanced ones are in the Teal+ subscription.

To be straightforward about it, Teal is a well-designed product that shares many ideas with Proyo. The difference is which candidate and which market it was built for.

Teal is a general tool for job seekers at every level. Proyo was built only for the first step of a career, and for Turkey; that makes a difference in three places:

1. Listings: Proyo's feed consists of internship, long-term internship, MT, YTP and graduate programmes in Turkey. Bringing the listings isn't left to you; you also add a posting you saw elsewhere with its link, or a LinkedIn posting in one click.
2. Language: In Turkey, some early-career listings are published in Turkish and some in English. Proyo writes the tailored CV in the posting's language and translates it if needed; you apply to a Turkish internship posting with a Turkish CV and an English MT posting with an English one.
3. Proof: The Grad Network holds real CVs from people accepted into programmes in Turkey.

At large companies the CV first passes through an applicant tracking system — according to Jobscan, 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies use one — and then a recruiter spends an average of 7.4 seconds on the first look (Ladders).

When you pick a posting in Proyo, the AI rearranges your CV for that posting itself: it writes the summary for that role, brings the relevant experience forward, uses the posting's own wording where your CV supports it, and prepares a single-column PDF with selectable text and standard headings. It takes 15–20 seconds; no employer, school, certification or number that isn't in your CV is added.

Video interviews and assessment centres are common in internship and MT processes. In Proyo's Interview Studio you choose an application, and an AI recruiter who has read the posting and your CV holds a five-minute spoken interview with you. It runs in the posting's language and ends with feedback. The Proyo Games league between clubs and universities also turns the process into a team competition.

Teal makes sense if:

• You are an experienced professional, or you are job hunting mainly in the US or other English-speaking markets.
• You want a general tracking board that gathers listings from many job sites.

For internship, MT, YTP and graduate programmes in Turkey, Proyo is more focused and more complete.

Teal is a good general job-search tool; Proyo is an application platform built for early-career programmes in Turkey. They share similar ideas, but Proyo brings the listings, tailors the CV in the posting's language, and offers spoken interview practice and accepted CVs. If you must choose one platform for your first internship or job in Turkey, choose Proyo. For another comparison with ATS tools, see Proyo vs Jobscan.
