ResumeGenius Reviews Summary

The company has established a strong reputation for its user-friendly resume-building platform, which is praised for its intuitive design, effective templates, and time-saving capabilities. Many customers express satisfaction with the polished results and helpful prompts that enhance their resumes. However, concerns regarding the transparency of pricing practices are prevalent, with some users feeling misled by the marketing of free access. Additionally, issues with customization options and the accuracy of information fetched have been noted. Overall, while the service is highly regarded for its quality and ease of use, addressing pricing clarity could further enhance customer trust.

Don't like paying 2 dollars for a resume template. Otherwise perfect.

I misunderstood what the free meant. I truly thought that when youi advertise free template that was not the truth. There is absolutely nothing free! It also did Not take 15 minutes as that was included in the same "free" advertisement.

Advertises free resume templates, but they are definitely not free. You have to subscribe to their services. Also makes it INCREDIBLY hard to leave anything less than a stellar review!

This should be a free service
May 29, 2021

This should be a free service. The way you lead people to a pay page after doing all of that work without specifying at the begging that your FREE resume template is not actually free. False $#*!ing advertising. Cancel my membership immediately.

Your site is spammy
May 29, 2021

Your site is spammy. It doesn't allow you to back out of checkout, modify subscription options, or change pre populated information that you originally keyed in when the account was created (which for me, was years ago.)

Seems easy, but I wish it wasn't an auto generated membership for the year with the trial membership. I would rather be asked if I want to continue.
