About this launch
ResumeStart helps job seekers build, improve, and tailor resumes using AI. Users can upload an existing resume or build one from scratch with help from Pip, an AI assistant. The platform checks how well resumes match specific job descriptions with an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score, showing what keywords and skills are missing. It generates AI-written cover letters for each job and offers unlimited resume tailoring for matched positions.
The platform includes a Chrome add-on that auto-fills job application forms using resume information, saving time on repetitive data entry. Users can track all job applications in one place, seeing which resume version they sent and application status. ResumeStart also provides interview preparation features with likely questions for specific roles and sample answers.
Beyond resumes, the service helps users create personal portfolio websites from their resume data, with no design or coding required. The free plan includes one resume, ATS checks, and basic AI features. Paid plans offer unlimited resumes, downloads, tailoring, and cover letters, with Career+ adding monthly live coaching interviews.

Shopper questions
Is ResumeStart really free?
Yes. You can make a resume, check your score and download a PDF for free, with no credit card required. Paid plans add extras like unlimited AI tailoring, cover letters and job tracking.
How does the AI help?
Paste a job ad or your current resume and the AI writes a first draft aimed at that job. You can then change anything you like before you download it.
What does the ATS score mean?
Many companies use software to sort resumes before a person sees them. Your score shows how easily that software can read your resume, and how well it fits a job you paste in.
