Before a recruiter ever sees you, a search decides whether you show up at all. And a search cannot read a story. It reads words on a page.
Your story deserves to be heard. So we aim your resume at the words a job actually asks for, point your search at the roles that fit you, and get you ready for the questions you are dreading.
Join the campaign. Beat the screen. Let your story be seen and heard.
$34.99 once. 90 days. The Campaign never auto-renews.
Build and score your resume free, forever. 3 exports with no watermark, a cover letter, a mock interview and your profile page, all free. No card, and no countdown running in the corner.
Standard
ATS-safeThe classic. Full-width rules, clean and professional.
Before a person sees it
A recruiter types words into a database and reads what comes back. So the question is not whether your resume is good. It is whether it came back at all.
At 98.8% of the Fortune 500src, this happens before a person is involved. Watch one go through.
What the parser needs
Parsed. Every field found.
Name, summary, skills, both roles with their own bullets, education, out in the order they were written.
Every tool here says it is ATS-safe. Almost none say how they know.
Every template is rendered to a real PDF and read back with a parser on each build. If one line lands out of document order, the build fails and nothing ships.
Anyone can check ours the same way: export, open the PDF, and try to select the text.
Paste the job and we match your resume against that posting’s own words. Deterministic, so it is the same answer every time rather than a figure that drifts on reload.
It never invents a metric, an employer or a skill on your behalf. You approve every fact it touches.
Nobody outside a company can see how its system ranks you. A tool quoting a percentage against a named employer made that number up, and it costs us sales to say so.
We publish our own weights instead, and grade only what is inside your document.
Why we build it this way
Two decisions shape this entire product: that a resume is aimed rather than general, and that a score is only worth reading if it is measuring the posting you are applying to. Here is the evidence behind both.
01Why tailored, not generic
5.75% vs 2.68%
A tailored application is more than twice as likely to become an interview
The largest sample we could find by an order of magnitude, which is why it leads. Smaller studies report the same direction at different sizes.
Huntr, 1.39 million real applications · Q4 2024 to Q2 2025
One resume sent everywhere is the easy option and the weaker one. Across the largest sample anyone has published, an aimed application became an interview at better than twice the rate. So we did not build a resume maker. We built a resume, and then a version of it for every job worth your time.
The evidence for tailoring02Why the score reads the posting
7.4 seconds
A recruiter decides whether to keep reading in about seven seconds
Not how long they READ it. It is how long they take to decide whether to keep going. The popular version of this stat gets that backwards, and the difference changes what you should do about it.
Ladders, recruiter eye-tracking study · 2018
That first pass is triage, and job titles are what it looks at first. A score built on a generic rubric cannot tell you anything about it. Ours grades readiness on six published weights, then matches your resume against the actual requirements and keywords of the posting in front of you.
03So this is the answer
Write it once. Aim it every time.
Our mission
A resume is one page. It does not hold why you changed direction, what you were carrying that year, or the work you did that never had a title on it. The filters read the page, and they read it well. That is the whole problem.
Fewer roles, more applicants, another round of layoffs, and 55.1%src of job seekers cutting back on food, medicine or utilities while they look. It can feel like there is no way through. We built this to give you one, one tailored resume at a time.
1,026 real occupations. The sections change with the field.
Six published weights, and 100 is genuinely reachable.
What the posting asks for, and what you already answer.
Orion never invents a metric, an employer or a skill.
Same engine as the preview. Never watermarked, on any plan.
Every claim traces back to a line you already wrote.
From a job title to a finished resume, guided the whole way.
Type it however you say it. We match it against 1,026 real occupations and bring back the keywords and example lines that fit that job.
Every field tells you what belongs in it. The result stays lean, quantified, and in a format that parses cleanly.
Your Readiness Score shows where you stand, and Orion rewrites the weak lines with you until you are done.
Resume builder
Type the job however you say it. We match it against 1,026 real occupations, then prompt you through every section with that job's keywords and example lines.
Readiness Score and Orion
Six dimensions with published weights, rescored on every edit, each naming the next fix and what it is worth. Orion then rewrites those lines beside you, in every tool here.
Jobs and your board
Openings matched to what is actually on your resume, newest first, and a board that holds every application you send.

Price and billing
Ninety days with nobody counting: unlimited tailored applications, unlimited cover letters, unlimited practice interviews, and Orion coaching that never hits an allowance. Every paid plan is identical, so nothing is held back for a higher tier.
More than most builders charge for. Write as many resumes as you like, see your Readiness Score and the exact line that would raise it, and take 3 PDF exports with no watermark. Your profile page and the job search are free too, and so is the interview question bank. On top of that you get 1 cover letter, 1 mock interview, 1 career roadmap and enough Orion AI to draft a whole resume. No card, and no clock running on any of it. Those counts are one-time rather than monthly, whatever you download stays yours, and a plan simply stops the counting.
Two of the three never do. The Campaign is one payment and on day 91 access simply ends, with no subscription to hunt down. Lifetime is one payment, forever. Career Command is the exception and it is a real subscription: $14.99 charged every month until you cancel. We email you before each charge so it is never a surprise, cancelling is one click in your billing settings, and you keep the days you already paid for.
They stay yours. Your account turns read-only, so you can still open, read, and export everything you built. Nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage. Start another campaign, or take the Lifetime plan, and editing switches back on exactly where you left it.
No. Building a resume and scoring it are free and uncounted, exporting is free up to 3 PDFs, and publishing your profile page is free. The price is on the screen long before you reach it, and there is no surprise paywall halfway through a build.
Find out before you pay, not after. The free tier is a real one with no clock on it, so you can build a finished resume, export it, write a cover letter and run a mock interview without a card. Because you can try the product properly first, all sales are final once you buy. If you are on Career Command, the monthly plan, you can pause or cancel it in one click before the next charge and we email you before every one. The terms are on the legal page, in plain language, not buried in a clause.
Honesty and the score
No, and treat any tool that claims otherwise with suspicion. Nobody outside an employer can see how their applicant tracking system ranks you. Our score measures six things we genuinely can measure: impact, structure, skills, evidence, writing, and clarity. The weights are printed right on the page, and the calculation is deterministic, so the same resume always scores the same.
No. Orion proposes wording and you approve every fact it touches. It will not manufacture an employer, a degree, a date, or a metric you never gave it. When a bullet needs a number to land, it asks you for the number instead of inventing one.
Your resume has one job: get you into the room. So we build it to parse cleanly in the software employers screen with, read as impact instead of duty-filler, and line up with the specific role you are chasing. That is what puts you in front of a human. Be wary of any tool that puts a percentage on your odds, because none of them can see inside an employer’s hiring system.
Yes. A complete, quantified, well-structured resume aimed at a real occupation reaches 100. The score is not tuned to keep you a few points short so you keep paying us.
They are approximate 90-day totals taken from public list prices in July 2026, for plans that bill in recurring four-week or monthly cycles. Prices move. We would rather you check theirs and ours than take our chart on faith.
Your data
Never. Not to data brokers, not to advertisers, not to recruiters. It is not a business we are in, and it is not a line we would trade for revenue.
Only you, unless you choose to publish a profile page. Profile pages are public because that is their job, you decide when one goes live, and you can unpublish it at any time.
Using it
Very likely. The search runs against 1,026 real occupations, and the sections adapt to what you do: licences and clinical rotations for nursing, certifications and licensure for teaching, projects and repositories for engineering, quota attainment for sales.
No. Every input is guided: a prompt that tells you what belongs there, real keywords for your role, and example lines you can work from. You are never handed an empty box and wished luck.
A PDF that matches the preview exactly, in your choice of five themes, every one of them ATS-safe. They differ in how they look, never in how they parse: each is a single reading column, so the text comes out in the same order whichever you pick. PDF only, deliberately. A Word file reflows in whatever version of Word opens it, which is how a clean layout turns into a mangled one on someone else’s screen.
The campaign
However long this search has already run, it does not have to be run alone. Build the strongest resume you have ever sent, aimed at the job in front of you, and see what it looks like to a machine before anyone else reads it.
