Is your resume being rejected before a recruiter sees it?
If any of these situations sound familiar, this is what we fix.
You're using AI to write or tailor your applications
Recruiters spot the generic phrasing and hollow buzzwords instantly, and ATS software increasingly flags it too. AI doesn't know what you actually delivered. We write from a one-to-one consultation, so your resume reflects your real value.
Your resume isn't optimized for ATS
Most applications are filtered by applicant tracking systems before a recruiter sees them. You're not unqualified - the software just can't read you. We build every resume to pass ATS cleanly for your target roles.
Your value proposition isn't clear, or your resume is out of date
A resume that worked a few years ago rarely hits the mark today, and a one-size-fits-all document fits nothing well. We rebuild it from scratch around the roles you want, so your strongest experience leads.
You're applying consistently and hearing nothing back
The silence is rarely about your experience. It's about how it's framed, and whether it gets past the automated screen. We fix both sides: your value for the human reader, and a document that passes the filters.
Four steps to a resume that gets you hired faster.
Assessment and strategy
Your writer reviews your current resume and researches the roles you're targeting - the skills, experience and achievements employers care about most - and maps out what your new resume needs to show.
One-to-one consultation
Usually around an hour by phone or Zoom. Your writer walks you through their findings and draws out your strengths, results and goals.
Your resume, written from scratch
Your writer drafts, targets, designs and ATS-optimizes your resume from scratch. First draft within 3 business days of your consultation.
Follow-up and revisions
A follow-up call to go through the draft together, then unlimited revisions until every part of it reflects you and your goals.
Nobody can write a strong resume from a form.
The things that get you hired - the project you turned around, the number you moved, the reason your manager kept giving you the difficult accounts - are usually things you've never written down, because to you they were just the job. So before a word is written, your consultant sits down with you one-to-one.

Frequently asked questions.
Do your resume writers have experience in my industry?
Yes. Since 2011 we've grown to 65 specialist consultants working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 resumes for over 920 professions - from accounting, construction and engineering to healthcare, government, IT, mining and sales.
How long does it take?
Your first draft arrives within 3 business days of your strategy consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day. Express turnarounds are also available.
How do I get started?
The easiest first step is a free resume review - upload your resume and a specialist in your industry will tell you exactly what needs to change. You can also book a free consultation call, or call our team on 1-800-563-1821 (Monday to Friday, during business hours).
Who will be working on my resume, and how do we communicate?
Our team includes former HR managers, specialist recruiters and career coaches. We match you with the most experienced specialist for your profession, who starts with a consultation call by phone or Zoom. Throughout the process you can talk by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account. Our writers are specialists in the US job market.
What is an applicant tracking system (ATS)?
Software that most job boards and employers use to filter applications. The recruiter sets the key requirements for the job and the ATS reads your resume to decide whether a person ever sees it. If you're applying for roles you're qualified for and getting templated rejections or no feedback, your resume is likely being filtered out by the ATS. We build every resume to get past it for your target roles.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. Unlike budget services we don't limit revisions. Your writer delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, once they've clarified any extra information they need.
How does the 60-day interview guarantee work?
98% of clients secure more interviews within 60 days - if you don't, we rewrite and retarget your documents free of charge.
How is this different from a budget resume service?
Budget services usually edit your existing resume from a template, often using overseas freelancers, with no direct contact with the writer and one round of revisions. We research your target roles, critique your current resume, hold an in-depth consultation, write and design your resume from scratch, follow up with you and offer unlimited revisions. Our writers take on a small number of clients each week so every project gets the time it needs.
Do I need a resume or an academic CV?
Most clients need a resume. An academic CV usually runs to 5 pages or more and includes publications, research, teaching and awards. If you don't work in academia or research and don't have those sections now, a resume is the better fit. Learn about academic CV writing.
