How it works

One profile in. A tailored resume per job out.

Most builders make you start over for each application. Here the work you did once keeps paying off.

  1. Put your career in one place

    Import the resume you already have as a PDF or Word file, build from your LinkedIn account, or start from a job title and fill in the blanks. Either way you end up with one profile that every resume draws from.

  2. Make a resume for the job, not for everyone

    Paste the ad. The matcher scores skills, experience, keywords and formatting, lists what is missing, and offers rewrites you approve one at a time.

  3. Send it, then find out what worked

    Download the PDF or Word file, log the application, and see which resume version actually gets you interviews.

AI resume quality check

A resume checker that reads like a recruiter, against a written standard.

ResumHero keeps one written standard for what a strong resume looks like: value over duties, evidence behind every skill, formatting that parses cleanly. The quality check reads your resume against it and tells you what already works, what to fix, why it matters, and how.

  • Strengths first, then findings ranked critical, high, medium and polish.
  • Every finding says why it matters and gives a rewrite when the facts allow one.
  • When a number is missing, it asks you instead of inventing one.
  • Nothing is changed for you. Open the section, decide, edit.

What it reads for

Headline and contact
A role-specific headline under your name. City and country, not a street address. LinkedIn, plus a portfolio or professional profile when your field uses one.
Summary
Two to four lines: your specialisation, the problems you solve, one credible result. “Hardworking” and “passionate” without evidence get flagged.
Experience bullets
Problem, what you did, the method, the result. Bullets that start with “Responsible for” or only list duties are the most common finding.
Skills with evidence
Every important skill should show up in a role or a project. A long list with nothing behind it is a finding.
Projects
What it was, who it was for, your part in it, and the result. A list of tools on its own is not a project.
ATS and writing
One column, standard headings, consistent dates and tense, no unexplained acronyms, nothing repeated across sections.

How findings are ranked

  1. Critical. An ATS or clarity problem: a missing title, a layout a parser cannot read.
  2. High. A content weakness: experience that lists duties but not problems or impact.
  3. Medium. A useful improvement: a missing link, a weak summary.
  4. Polish. Wording, punctuation, spacing. Optional.
Check my resume

Career profile

Fill it in once. Reuse it everywhere.

Personal details, experience, skills, projects, education and certifications live in one profile. Edit there and every resume can pick the change up.

  • Drop in an old PDF or DOCX, up to 10 MB. In about ten seconds the import reads roles, skills and projects out of it.
  • The file is read once and then discarded. Only what you approve is kept, in your profile.
  • You check each section it found before anything is saved.
  • Prefer LinkedIn? Connect your account to start a resume from it. LinkedIn only shares your name, email and photo with apps, so for your roles and education you add LinkedIn’s own profile PDF in the same step.
  • No resume yet? Give it a job title and get a one-page skeleton with the right sections and prompts. No made-up jobs or dates.

AI job matcher

Paste the job description. See what your resume is missing.

You get a score, four sub-scores and two lists: what already matches and what does not. It reads only the ad you pasted and your own profile.

  • Tick the missing skills you actually have. They are added to this resume, nothing else.
  • If the job is in a different field, it says so and offers to trim off-field roles from this copy only.
  • A readiness checklist covers completeness, targeting, links and ATS details, with one-click fixes where they make sense.

Optimize with AI

Every change is shown before it lands.

Optimize rewrites your summary, strengthens weak bullets with the wording from the ad, and moves the most relevant work to the top.

  • Each suggestion appears as before and after, with its estimated score gain.
  • Keep the ones you like. Finish with two changes or with none.
  • Undo any of them later, even after you have downloaded the file.

Editor

A resume editor that tells you when it is too long.

The page count comes from the real PDF, so “fits one page” means it does. Reorder or hide sections from the outline, and add up to ten custom ones.

  • Over one page? Open the page count to see where the space goes, including anything you said twice.
  • Run the ATS check to see how an applicant tracking system reads the resume: contact, structure, content and format. Instant, and free to re-run.
  • Click any bullet for three rewrites: say it better, cut it down, or lead with the result.
  • Hide an entry without deleting it. It greys out in the preview and stays out of the export.
  • Nothing is edited for you. You apply, or you do not.

Applications and insights

Know which resume gets replies.

Log each application with the resume you sent, then move it from applied to interview to offer. Insights counts the rest.

  • Interview and offer rates per resume, counted from what you tracked. Nothing estimated, nothing AI-written.
  • Rates appear only once you have five applications, so one lucky week does not mislead you.
  • A weekly chart shows whether you are actually applying, and which ones have gone quiet.

The AI, in plain terms

What the AI will and will not do

This is the part most builders are vague about, so here it is in plain terms.

It will

  • Rewrite a bullet three ways: better, shorter, or result first.
  • Read a job ad and score your profile against it, with the gaps listed.
  • Review the whole resume against a quality standard and rank what to fix.
  • Draft a cover letter from the resume and the ad.
  • Point out what to cut when a resume runs past one page.
  • Read your old PDF or Word resume into a profile.
  • Organize what you imported from LinkedIn into a resume, rewording only.

It will not

  • Invent a job, a date, a number or a skill.
  • Change your resume without showing you the change first.
  • Write your insights. Those are counted from what you tracked.
  • Hold your files hostage. PDF and Word export stay free.
  • Keep a copy of the resume file you import. It is read, then discarded.

Questions

Things people ask before they sign up

What do I get without paying?

One career profile, one resume, the ATS Professional and Graduate templates, PDF and Word export, and three quality checks, three tailored job matches and three cover letters every month. Premium is coming soon and will add the rest of the templates, more resumes and more AI runs; it is not on sale yet.

Is ResumHero a resume builder or a CV builder?

Both. It is the same document with two names: “resume” in the US and Canada, “CV” in the UK, Europe, Bangladesh and India. The templates cover both conventions, including an International CV layout with an optional photo for European applications. Whatever you call it, it exports as PDF and Word.

What does ATS-readable mean here?

Applicant tracking systems read the text of your resume before a person does. Tables, columns and graphics often come out scrambled. Every template puts the text in one column in reading order with real headings, so your details arrive intact. The ATS check in the editor shows how a parser reads your own resume, from contact details to dates and bullets, and it is free to run as often as you like.

Can I import my existing resume?

Yes, as a PDF or DOCX up to 10 MB. The import reads your roles, skills, projects and education into a career profile, and you review each section before it is saved. If your career lives on LinkedIn, you can also build from LinkedIn (see below).

Can I build a resume from my LinkedIn profile?

Yes. Choose “Build from LinkedIn”, sign in on LinkedIn and approve access. LinkedIn only shares your name, email address and profile photo with apps, not your work history, so the same step asks for LinkedIn’s own profile PDF (“Save to PDF” on your profile) to bring in your roles, education and skills. You review everything, then pick a template or let the AI organize it, and nothing is saved until you choose to. We keep no access to your LinkedIn account and never post to it.

Do you keep the resume file I upload?

No. The file is read once to fill in your profile, then discarded. We keep only its name and size as a record of the import. What stays is what you approved into your profile or resume, and you can edit or delete that at any time.

What does the quality check actually look at?

A written standard for strong resumes that ResumHero maintains: a role-specific headline, professional contact details, a summary with evidence, experience bullets that show a problem and a result rather than a list of tools, skills backed by a role or project, and one-column ATS-safe formatting. It lists what already works, then each finding with its severity, why it matters, what to change, and a rewrite where the facts allow one. It never edits your resume for you.

Does the AI make things up about me?

No. Rewrites rephrase what you already wrote. The job matcher only adds skills you tick yourself. Starting from a job title gives you sections and prompts, not invented jobs or dates. Where a line needs a number it cannot know, it leaves that to you.

Which file formats can I download?

PDF and DOCX. The Word file has the same content in the same order as the PDF, for the applications that insist on an editable file. Both are free on every plan.

Can I add a photo?

Yes, on templates with a photo slot, such as the International CV. Upload a JPEG, PNG or WEBP and it is cropped to a portrait automatically. Templates without a slot leave it out, which is what you want for most US and UK applications.

Does tailoring to a job change my profile?

No. Every change from the matcher applies to that one resume. Your profile and your other resumes stay exactly as they were.

Can I add sections the builder does not have?

Yes, up to ten custom sections per resume. Awards, publications, volunteering, languages and talks are the usual ones. Each entry takes a title, subtitle, date, link, description and bullets.
