Design Philosophy
No-Friction Approach
The job market is flooded with complex resume builders that require sign-ups, bombard users with ads, and lock features behind paywalls before users can even evaluate the product.
User-Centric Experience
We recognized that job seekers needed a straightforward solution that respects their time and privacy. Traditional resume builders create unnecessary friction when people are already stressed about job applications.
