Is there something "going on" after a user gets a job? How do you keep users that are no longer relevant to your product?

Hi @tomaspeniasko, for us it's the best feedback ever when someone gets a job! 😊 We will keep your resume here for the future so you can come and edit it later. Kickresume is like your G-Drive for resumes. On the other hand 48% of our visitors are returning visitors. We made a research and our users update their resumes every 3-4 months. You can also create a personal website with minimalistic design and unique URL for just $4/month.

Genius idea. Can't even count how many friends and family members have asked the 'how do I make a resume' question.

@alexdbauer we asked the same question back at the university! That's why we created Kickresume for us and our classmates. I think that the same problem had also more than 400K people who tried Kickresume.
Alex!
You may want to do more research for what exactly constitutes a high-quality resume. Especially for positions in the US, many of your templates will not only not get you hired, but will 100% guarantee that your resume will never, ever, get looked at. Most obvious example: personal photos in resumes. Many corporations have very strict rules which prevent them from accepting any resume which features a candidate's picture. Another example: Your funky layouts may look cool (although honestly, some of these really are not designed very well at all), but they'll also likely to fare poorly when it comes to being able to be OCR'ed and ingested into a resume database. This is extra burden and headache for a recruiter, and again, a totally unnecessary hurdle that could've been easily avoided. You guys should really partner closely with real recruiters to understand what works and what doesn't.

Hi @imaznation, thank you for your feedback! Kickresume is used by people from all over the world. Resumes differ from country to country and that's one of the reasons why we offer many customization features (like photos on resume). Did you know that perfect resume in some Arabic countries is around 5 pages long? Users can simply create a country-specific resume. We have prepared stylish resumes for job seekers in marketing, bartending, retail...etc; very conservative templates for jobs in business, bank, government, legal, executive...etc; and something between for jobs like administration, customer services, internship, IT...etc. The priority of all templates is readability by ATSs. We tested our resume templates with CVlizer® which is one of the most popular parsing software in the world. We got pretty great results - it can read (parse) around 98% of the information in our resume templates. We are also working on ATS Ready resume template which will be specially customized for parsing systems.

Cool stuff! Totally a subjective thing, but I was hoping more of the templates would not use the skill level/star piece. They just always come across as ambiguous to me (what's the difference between a 4-star skill and a 5-star skill for instance)? Can you disable those when you fill out your own template?

Hi @eighttwo_three, you can simply use your own words for skill level. According to skill scaling system - we had a pretty long discussion about this feature. Now users can simply use stars, bars or words. At first we wanted to allow our users to use just text also because of resume parsing. We added star system later because some of our users asked for it.

Nice product, but not as advanced as http://www.doyoubuzz.com One advantage of DoYouBuzz is that the freemium version actually lets you produce a full free version of your CV (no education in the kickresume free plan CV !). The advantage of Kickresume is to include Covers letters and Web pages

@pvk Hi Pascal. In Kickresume we actually offer Freemium too. You can create full free version of you CV. We have also outstanding help center - https://www.kickresume.com/help/... Help Center is completely free, full of Samples, How To guides and Insider tips and Tricks. Samples are able to re-use with one click on Kickresume. Feel free to check it out and get inspire. We also prepared 50 000 phrases - ready to use in any resume, free of charge(comming very soon). So yes there is also Premium account in which our users find All templates, Graphic sections, Cover Letters, Personal Website and many more. It's amazing package worth of upgrading with outstanding results.

@peduris You are right. I had two separate Education blocks in my test CV, and that was the aspect restricted to the premium option. I moved my two education items into one single Education block and that removed the limitation. That is an interesting concept that you authorise such organisation, probably to let user introduce continuous education in the middle of work experiences. Now about one of the other side of the CV issue. I am currently using DoYouBuzz ( https://www.producthunt.com/post... ) not only for my personal CV, but as a tool to manage the CV of the Students and Alumni of the MIM programme that my organisation delivers. All their CV are attached to our Student Information System through an API provided by DYB and I can let our corporate partners search through that specific pool of CV. Would you provide some similar kind of tool for Universities/Schools?

@pvk Exactly how you said. We have been supported by American fundation to get this tool across Universities. This is currently our next step ;) Please feel free to contact me at peter@kickresume.com

@peduris This looks great and has a fair price! Average hire in 25 days is a fantasic tagline! I tried to test on myself and don't think login via LinkedIn worked right. It connected to my LinkedIn as confirmed on LinkedIn but assigned my work email to KickResume. Also, nothing else populated from LinkedIn information. I expected Kickresume to be jump started by LinkedIn. Am I expecting too much or did I encounter an error? Does the free level experience all functionality of resume and cover letter building, but just limited templates and support? Given my troubled start, I'm wondering if linking is a premium feature for example. I am testing to find out if the model treats those starting out or in junior positions the same as more senior level positions. For example, I'm not sure hobbies section fits senior positions at traditional companies all that well. Thanks for your thoughts.
