Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about building an ATS-ready resume with ResumesKey.
Frequently asked
Is ResumesKey really free?
Yes. The free plan lets you build a resume and download a real PDF and Word (DOCX) file — no watermark, no credit card, and no surprise auto-renew charges. Paid plans add unlimited resumes and advanced AI.
What is an ATS and why does it matter?
An Applicant Tracking System is software employers use to scan and filter resumes before a human sees them. Most resumes are rejected here for formatting or missing keywords. ResumesKey scores your resume against the job in real time and targets specific systems like Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo.
How is this different from Zety, Teal, or Rezi?
We combine everything they do separately — real-time ATS scoring, per-job tailoring, AI cover letters, a job tracker, and AI interview prep — into one platform, with honest pricing and free real downloads. See our comparison pages for details.
Will my resume pass ATS scans?
Our templates are built single-column and parser-friendly, and the live ATS score flags anything risky before you apply. You also get a recruiter-impact score so your resume reads well to humans, not just bots.
Can I import my LinkedIn profile?
Yes — paste your LinkedIn profile or an existing resume and our AI structures it into an editable, ATS-ready resume in seconds.
Do you use AI to write my resume?
AI helps you write — it generates quantified, action-verb bullets, summaries, and cover letters from your real experience, and tailors them to each job. You stay in control of every word.
