The AI resume builder that helps you land more job interviews

Enhancv offers a range of AI features to help you create your resume with ease:

• Templates and customization: Designed to be both visually appealing and to meet the standards expected in different industries.
• AI-powered resume content generation, creative suggestions, or custom requests: Enhancv's AI Assistant suggests content based on your job title, job description, or your custom prompts.
• Job description tailoring: Our AI Resume Builder suggests keywords and phrases that are likely to be favorable in these systems based on your job title. Plus, it does so much more, such as generating sections and writing a whole cover letter.
• Feedback and revision suggestions: We've built a resume checker that provides clear feedback and a simple grading system on your resume's overall quality. It also provides a checklist with suggestions for improving layout, grammar, and wording.

Different ATS systems flag certain formatting issues that can lead to parsing errors, which can make some resume templates less ATS-friendly. Here's how our builder addresses each of these points—and why we're confident in our ATS-readiness.

• Enhancv resumes don't include graphics, photos, or word art that aren't ATS-Friendly: Our templates use decorative icons and images as visual elements only—never as text containers. All text remains selectable and lives in the text layer. That means parsers simply skip the iconography without losing any data.
• Enhancv resumes aren't uploaded as an image (flattened PDFs): We export proper PDFs with a full text layer, not rasterized images. You can copy-paste any text from our resumes—exactly what parsers read. Flattened PDFs (a known parsing failure) don't occur in our generation pipeline.
• Enhancv resumes don't use complex designs with tables, headers, and footers: We use consistent section grouping and rely on HTML-to-PDF text flow—not embedded Word tables or footers. Only one legacy template uses a minimal table structure, and even that's fully textual, not graphic. Contact info sits in the main body, not headers/footers, so it's accessible to parsers.
• Enhancv resumes use a columned layout: Our column structure keeps each section separate—for example, Experience on the left and Skills or Education on the right. We never split a single section across both columns, so the reading order (left to right, top to bottom) stays coherent.
• Enhancv resumes have clear sections and consistent formatting: Each section in Enhancv templates is clearly labeled ("Experience," "Education," "Skills") and uses a consistent heading style. These titles match parser dictionaries used by Sovren and RChilli, improving section classification.

Every major ATS risk category is either resolved by design or limited to user input—not the builder's output. Our PDFs meet modern parsing standards, including selectable text, consistent structure, clear labeling, and no flattened layers.

Because of this, Enhancv resumes are ATS-compatible by design rather than through workarounds. Calling our templates "not ATS-friendly" or suggesting caution would be inaccurate.

You can use the AI of your choice (be it ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, xAI, etc.) to assist you in writing your resume, rather than outsourcing this task fully to AI.

Here are some resume-related tasks that AI can greatly help you with:

• Starting a framework: Ask AI to provide a resume format tailored to your industry or role.
• Be precise with prompts: Instead of general requests like "Write about my work experience," go for "Highlight my achievements as a marketing manager."
• Using action words: Request AI to suggest impactful verbs that match your responsibilities.
• Adapting for the job: Customize each resume for the role, focusing on keywords from the job description.
• Aligning your skills: Match your skill set to the requirements listed in the job posting.
• Adding measurable results: Include numbers, percentages, or other metrics to showcase your accomplishments.
• Keeping it brief: Ask AI to rephrase lengthy sections into concise, high-impact statements.
• Reviewing for errors: Have AI proofread for grammar, clarity, and typos.
• Writing a standout summary: Use AI to craft a professional summary that highlights your strengths and key achievements.
• Polishing the final draft: After generating the content, ask AI for a final review to ensure a sleek and professional finish.

You don't need to pass anything with applicant tracking systems. We ran a test study that compared how Word/Google Docs resumes are parsed compared to Enhancv templates. The reality is that ATS systems don't have an issue with colors, backgrounds, or icons.

In fact, ATS systems look for the name of a section and then transfer that information to the ATS. But the recruiter looks at the entire resume.

Our newest study on auto-rejection confirms that no automated rejection is happening. Recruiters primarily filter by skills and experience match. The less aligned your resume is, the lower it appears in their sorted view.

So, to answer the question: pick the template you like best. All Enhancv templates parse at 90% or higher. Simple templates work well for traditional fields, while two-column templates let you fit more information on a single page. Choose based on what you need.

Yes, if you're serious about standing out in a crowded job market.

Here's why Enhancv is worth the investment:

• Balance between ATS and recruiters: Many resume tools focus only on "passing ATS." Enhancv templates are designed to pass ATS scans and look engaging to human recruiters.
• AI-powered features: Tools like the Resume Checker, Bullet Point Generator, and Job Tailoring give you personalized, actionable feedback—so you're not guessing what to improve.
• Customization & storytelling: Unlike rigid resume builders (Zety, Resume.io), Enhancv lets you add unique sections like "Day of My Life" or "Life Philosophy." This helps your resume feel authentic, not cookie-cutter. They won't impede any ATS readability for the rest of your resume, either.
• Time saved: Instead of wrestling with Word templates or Canva layouts, you can drag, drop, and auto-format. What used to take hours, you can finish in under 30 minutes.
• Proven results: Enhancv users have landed jobs at companies like Spotify, JP Morgan, and Microsoft. Real-world proof that the format works.

Bottom line: Enhancv is worth it if you value professional design, ATS compatibility, and time-saving features. If you just need a quick, generic resume, other builders or templates might do—but they won't give you the same polish or confidence.

Enhancv is built for anyone serious about presenting their experience clearly and confidently—from first-time applicants to senior leaders managing million-dollar teams. It adapts to different goals, styles, and industries without forcing you into a one-size-fits-all format.

• Senior professionals & executives: Enhancv focuses on leadership, impact, and results. It keeps things concise and impressive in a one- or two-page layout, ideal for people who value their time and reputation.
• Managers and directors: It helps structure achievements, team outcomes, and strategic contributions in a way that feels professional and effortless.
• Career switchers & professionals seeking structure: Enhancv's ATS-friendly templates make it easy to tailor your resume to the next step, not just your past roles.
• Traditional corporate roles: For roles that expect formality, Enhancv provides clean, compliant templates that stay professional while still looking modern.

You know how much time people waste trying to fit everything onto one page or making sure the fonts match. If your time is valuable—especially if you're earning or aiming for a six-figure salary—Enhancv gives you a faster, more reliable way to build a resume that's ready for this year and beyond.

Employ prompts to enhance, not substitute. AI can be a valuable aid for job seekers, but it should only encourage your unique creativity and viewpoint. The outputs are intended as recommendations rather than verbatim content for direct inclusion. Consider ChatGPT's resume prompts as enhancements to your own thoughts and insights, rather than complete replacements.

Most tools that rank for "AI resume builder" offer little more than templates with autofill. They fall short on real AI capabilities—no tailored writing, no content improvement, no summarization, and no translation.

Enhancv stands out because it actually does all of that.

Our AI assistant can:

• Generate resume content from a job title or a full job description.
• Rewrite or enhance what you've already written.
• Shorten your long bullet points into a concise and readable summary.
• Translate resume content for international roles.
• Tailor your resume using one click.
• Generate a cover letter based on a job description and your experience.

And unlike tools that rely solely on automation, Enhancv pairs real AI with creative, hand-designed templates that make your resume feel human—never generic.

As long as your application is customized with your job history and accomplishments, it's unlikely that recruiters can tell if you used AI. AI can help improve your resume writing, but lying on a resume is unacceptable.

Resumes in some companies are scanned by an applicant tracking system (ATS), which may or may not have AI features. These systems parse resumes into sections and match them with keywords from the job description. However, contrary to popular belief, very few companies actually use ATS to filter or automatically reject applicants.

Enhancv uses OpenAI's ChatGPT to generate AI content with a wide range of customized prompts covering specific cases like generating a summary based on a resume, improving or rewriting bullet points to be more impact-oriented, or generating a cover letter based on your resume and job title. This makes Enhancv's AI Assistant a ChatGPT resume builder's improvement.
