What is Kickresume?

Kickresume helps job seekers write a resume for a target position and create a cover letter. It also checks resume compatibility with recruitment software and supports personal website creation.

According to its documentation, Kickresume lets you:

  • write a resume based on a target position
  • create a cover letter
  • check a resume's compatibility with recruitment software
  • create a personal website

We file it under Résumés and job search, the category of tools to prepare résumés, letters and interviews, and it also overlaps with aI writing tools. The category lists 15 verified tools on this site.

The publisher is Kickresume s.r.o., based in Slovakia. The service launched in 2013, which gives it some track record.

Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: students and freelancers. The need it covers is simple to state: prepare résumés, letters and interviews.

Kickresume is a good candidate if:

  • you want to try before paying
  • you also work from your phone
  • you must keep your data in Europe or on your own machine

Before deciding, run a trial on a real task and measure the time saved: it is the only criterion that really counts.
