The resume that every reader understands.
Build one resume that parses flawlessly in ATS software, reads beautifully to humans, and impresses AI recruiters. Tailor it to any job — honestly — in one click.
See what an ATS actually reads
Every competitor claims ATS-friendliness. We prove it on a sample resume — render it, then re-extract the text exactly like a parser would. No signup.
or paste text instead
One resume. Three readers. Zero compromises.
A modern application is read three times before a human ever calls you. Most resumes are built for one reader and fail the other two. ClearResume is built for all three at once.
ATS software
Single-column, real text, standard headings — so parsers recover your name, dates, and skills cleanly instead of dropping them into the void.
Hiring managers
Typeset like a document a person actually wants to read: clear hierarchy, generous spacing, no template clutter or column tricks.
AI recruiters
Published resumes ship with schema.org structured data and a clean text layer, so AI screeners quote you accurately.
From blank page to tailored in minutes
No paywall to see your work. Build and export for free — pay only if you want AI tailoring.
Import or build
Drop in a PDF, DOCX, or text resume and we structure it instantly — or start from a guided builder that keeps every line ATS-safe.
Tailor — honestly
Paste a job link or description. We reframe your real experience to match it and flag anything added, so every claim stays true.
Verify & export
Run a live ATS X-ray that re-parses your resume the way software does, then export to PDF, Word, or JSON Resume — free.
Questions, answered straight
Is it really free?+
Yes — building, editing, and exporting to PDF, Word, and JSON are free forever, with no download paywall. Paid plans only unlock AI tailoring, cover letters, and the recruiter screen.
What does “honest tailoring” actually mean?+
When you tailor to a job, we reframe and reprioritize your real experience to match the role. We never invent employers, titles, or metrics — and anything we add is flagged for you to confirm before you send it.
What is the AI recruiter screen?+
Before you apply, run your resume through an AI that scores it against a specific job the way a recruiter screens — a fit verdict, your strengths, the gaps, and concrete fixes — so you can close the gaps before a real recruiter ever sees it.
How do you prove a resume is ATS-friendly?+
We don’t just claim it. The live X-ray renders your real resume to PDF, then re-extracts the text exactly like a parser would, and shows you which fields survived. What you see is what an ATS sees.
Is my data safe?+
Your resume is stored in an encrypted database and sent to our AI provider only when you ask us to tailor or screen it. We don’t sell your data or use it to train models. You can delete your account anytime. See our Privacy Policy.
What can I import and export?+
Import from PDF, DOCX, or plain text. Export to PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), or the open JSON Resume standard.
