Build a resume that actually gets you interviews

Yes, completely free to start. You can build a resume from scratch, upload an existing one, and get your ATS score without paying anything or even creating an account. If you want the full experience - things like the AI chat assistant that rewrites your bullets, the detailed 4-dimension scorecard, and unlimited resume versions - those come with a paid plan. But honestly, the free tier alone gives you more than most resume builders charge for.

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. It's the software companies use to sort through hundreds (sometimes thousands) of resumes before a human ever sees them. Think of it as a gatekeeper - if your resume doesn't have the right formatting, keywords, or structure, the ATS filters it out and a recruiter never even knows you applied. Studies show over 90% of large employers use one. So if you've been applying and hearing nothing back, there's a good chance your resume is getting caught in the filter, not that you're underqualified.

When you upload or build a resume, our AI runs it through four separate checks. First, ATS Strength - can automated systems actually read and parse your resume correctly? Second, Career Fit - does your experience tell a coherent story that makes sense for the roles you're targeting? Third, Role Fit - are you using the right keywords that match real job postings in your field? And fourth, Impact Strength - are your bullet points specific and quantified, or are they vague statements that could describe anyone? You get a score out of 100 with line-by-line suggestions on exactly what to fix.

Absolutely. Just drag and drop your PDF or DOCX file and we'll have it analyzed in seconds. The AI extracts all your information, preserves your content, and immediately starts scoring it. You'll see exactly where your resume is strong and where it's leaving callbacks on the table. From there you can use the AI suggestions to improve specific sections, or let the auto-rewrite feature handle the heavy lifting. Most people who upload an existing resume see their score jump 20-30 points after the first round of fixes.

The short answer: clean and simple wins every time. Single-column layouts, standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills - not clever alternatives like "Where I've Been"), and no tables, text boxes, or graphics embedded in the document. Headers and footers are also risky since many ATS systems skip them entirely. The good news is you don't need to figure this out yourself - every template we offer has been tested against the major ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and others) so you know it'll parse correctly.

We take this seriously. Your resume data is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). We don't sell your information, we don't share it with recruiters or third parties, and we never use your content to train AI models. Your resume is yours. You can delete your data at any time and it's permanently removed from our systems - no 90-day retention periods or hidden backups. We built Exibell the way we'd want our own career data handled.

Most resume builders hand you a template and say good luck. Exibell actually reads your resume, understands what's working and what's not, and helps you fix it. The scorecard tells you exactly why you're not getting callbacks. The AI assistant rewrites weak bullet points into specific, quantified achievements. The keyword matcher compares your resume against real job postings and finds the gaps. It's less like a document editor and more like having a career coach who happens to understand how hiring technology works.

Not to get started. You can build a resume, upload an existing one, and see your initial ATS score without signing up. We only ask for an account when you want to save your work, access premium features, or come back to edit later. No bait-and-switch - the free experience works without any login walls.

Paste the job description into Exibell's keyword matcher. It compares the posting against your resume in real time and surfaces the exact keywords you're missing. You can then add them naturally into your experience bullets, skills section, or summary - the tool highlights which sections make the most sense. This takes about 10 minutes and directly improves your match rate for that specific role. Most people find 8–15 gaps on the first pass.

There's no universal threshold, but most recruiters set their ATS filters to shortlist resumes scoring above 70–75%. Our scorecard is calibrated against these real-world benchmarks. If your ATS Strength score is below 70, you're likely getting filtered before anyone reads your resume. Aim for 80+ before applying to competitive roles. The score also breaks down by dimension, so you know exactly which area needs the most attention.

Yes - this is one of the more common use cases. When you're changing industries, your existing titles and companies may not map to what a recruiter is scanning for. Exibell's AI rewrites your experience to surface transferable skills in the language of your target industry. It also flags where your Career Fit score is low, which is usually the signal that your framing needs work, not your actual experience. Career-change resumes typically improve the most after a round of AI rewrites.

ChatGPT can write - but it doesn't score, and it doesn't know what a specific ATS system is looking for. Exibell combines writing with analysis: it scores your resume across four dimensions, matches it against real job postings, and tests it against actual ATS parsing behaviour. You're not just getting better-sounding text - you're getting a resume engineered to pass automated filters. ChatGPT is a general writing tool. Exibell is built specifically for the hiring pipeline.

Absolutely. For entry-level resumes, the AI focuses on making the most of what you do have - internships, projects, coursework, and transferable skills from part-time work or volunteering. It rewrites vague entries into specific, impact-focused bullets even when you're working with limited experience. The keyword matcher is especially useful for freshers since it tells you exactly which skills to highlight for your target roles, even if you learned them through coursework rather than paid work.
