About ResumeGeni
Resume tools built by engineers and designers who spent 12 years inside hiring technology. We know how applicant tracking systems work because we built them.
Who we are
ResumeGeni was founded by Blake Crosley, formerly VP of Design at ZipRecruiter. Over 12 years there, Blake designed interfaces used by 110 million+ job seekers and worked on systems that processed 7 million+ resumes per month.
That time inside the hiring stack meant watching — up close — how the major applicant tracking systems actually parse, rank, and filter resumes. Greenhouse. Workday. iCIMS. Taleo. Lever. Not what people say happens when a resume hits the ATS. What the logs, the pipelines, and the parsing engines actually do with it. That knowledge is the foundation ResumeGeni is built on.
What makes us different
We don't guess how ATS systems work — we know. Most resume tools are built by content marketers approximating hiring tech from the outside. ResumeGeni was built from inside it.
Honesty isn't a setting. Our AI proposes rewrites; you review and approve each one. It never invents experience, fabricates credentials, or adds claims you didn't make. Every sentence in a generated resume traces back to something you entered.
No subscription. No ads. No dark patterns. ResumeGeni charges pay-as-you-go coins. Creating a profile is free. You pay only for the AI features you actually use. We have no incentive to trap you on the site.
What we make
How to use ResumeGeni well
ResumeGeni works best when it is treated as an application workflow, not as a magic rewrite button. Start with the real evidence: your roles, dates, certifications, tools, measurable outcomes, and the exact job description you plan to target. Then use the product to make that evidence easier for both software and people to read.
A strong path is simple. First, run the ATS resume checker to find parsing, structure, keyword, and section problems in the document you already have. Next, use the resume builder when the file needs cleaner sections, a better preview, or a safer export shape. Finally, compare the resume against the most specific evidence page available: a role guide, a company application guide, or the ATS methodology when you want to understand what the checker is actually measuring.
That workflow keeps the advice grounded. It prevents the common failure mode where a resume becomes longer, louder, and less true. Better resume work should clarify the candidate's real value. It should not invent responsibilities, inflate seniority, or copy a job post into a document without evidence.
For a concrete path, start with the RN resume guide when clinical scope matters, the full-stack developer resume guide and skills guide when technical evidence matters, the software engineer salary guide when compensation context matters, or the Google company page and Google application guide when the employer's application path matters.
The practical rule is this: every resume change should survive a follow-up question in an interview. If the checker recommends a keyword, connect it to real work. If the builder improves a bullet, keep the original achievement intact. If a guide suggests a skill, include it only when you can explain how you used it.
That is the standard we want the site to reinforce across every promoted surface: specific evidence first, cleaner structure second, and AI assistance only after the candidate's real story is clear.
Trust and transparency
We take what we publish seriously. Every article on ResumeGeni is attributed to a named author with verifiable credentials. We cite authoritative sources. We update pages when the underlying facts change (ATS vendors update parsing rules; hiring practices evolve). We welcome corrections.

What we do not claim
ResumeGeni does not claim that a score guarantees an interview, that every employer uses the same parser, or that an ATS vendor shares its private ranking logic with us. Employer screening systems differ, and hiring managers still make human judgments that no public resume tool can predict.
What we can do is narrower and more useful: help candidates produce a cleaner, more defensible document; explain which resume signals are likely to be parsed; show the limits of the analysis; and route users toward the pages that contain our best current evidence. The coverage page documents which resources are published, parked, or refused, while the research hub explains the methods behind the highest-trust pages.
