What does ResumeGeni actually do?

Four things. 1) Analyzes an existing resume for ATS compatibility and gives section-by-section feedback. 2) Improves a resume's quality with AI-suggested rewrites you review and approve. 3) Tailors a resume to a specific job posting by matching your experience to the requirements. 4) Translates resumes across 10+ languages while preserving ATS structure and adapting local conventions.

About ResumeGeni

Q: Who built ResumeGeni?

ResumeGeni was built by Blake Crosley, a former VP of Design at ZipRecruiter with 12 years inside hiring technology. During that time he designed interfaces used by 110M+ job seekers and worked on systems that processed 7M+ resumes per month, giving ResumeGeni first-hand understanding of how major applicant tracking systems — Greenhouse, Workday, iCIMS, Taleo, Lever — actually parse and score resumes.

Q: How is ResumeGeni different from other resume builders?

Three differences. First, it's built from inside-the-ATS knowledge rather than guesses — we know how parsers read resumes because we built parsers. Second, we're strict about honesty: the AI suggests rewrites but never invents experience you don't have, and you approve every change. Third, we don't charge subscriptions — ResumeGeni uses pay-as-you-go coins, so you spend only on the features you actually use.

Q: How does ResumeGeni make money?

Pay-as-you-go coins. Creating an account and building a profile is free. AI-powered features — improvement, tailoring, translation, exports — use a small fixed number of coins per use. You buy coins when you need them. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no ads. We have no incentive to keep you on the site longer than you need to be.

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.
