Yes. Every candidate can build, save and download resumes with the 2 free templates, Classic and Clean, at no cost. You only need a free HireVation account so your resume is saved.
Candidate Premium ($12.00 a month) unlocks 39 more templates (including the 15 premium Signature designs) and the Pro extras: a photo, extra links (website, portfolio, GitHub, Behance and up to 3 of your own), extra sections (projects, languages, volunteering, awards, publications, interests, references), skill tags or level bars, your own colours, a "Skills verified by HireVation" box and Improve with AI.
Yes. You can pick any Pro template and fill it in. The preview shows a small "Pro preview" mark. To download a resume that uses Pro parts you need Candidate Premium, or you can switch back to Classic or Clean.
Sign in to your candidate portal and press "Request Candidate Premium" (in Candidate plans or in the resume builder). Online payment is not switched on yet, so we activate it for you and email you, usually within one working day.
Yes, both. The PDF opens your browser's print window: choose "Save as PDF". It keeps real, selectable text and clickable links. The Word file (.docx) opens in Word, Google Docs and similar editors so you can keep editing it.
Yes. Your PDF and Word file contain real text, not a picture, so applicant tracking systems can read your name, jobs and skills. If you apply to very large companies, the Classic, Clean, Minimal and Executive templates are the safest choices.
17 Pro templates show a photo: Spotlight, Two-column (navy, emerald and plum), Aside and Aside Rose, Creative and Creative Indigo, Portrait and Portrait Slate, and from the Signature collection Meridian (navy and emerald), Horizon, Pulse and Summit (navy and teal). In many countries a photo is normal; in some (for example the US and UK) employers prefer resumes without one.
Write a first version of your summary or job points, then press Improve with AI. It suggests a clearer, stronger version of your own words. It is told never to invent jobs, numbers or skills, and you read and edit every word before keeping it. It is part of Candidate Premium.
Yes. Press "Add my HireVation reports" and your Verified Skills Reports appear with their ID and a link employers can open to check them. Pro users can also show a "Skills verified by HireVation" box with their scores.

Only if you choose to. Press "Use as my HireVation resume" and we use it to suggest skills tests, prepare interview questions and fill in job applications on HireVation.
Only you. Your resume is saved privately in your account and is never shown to recruiters or anyone else unless you download it and send it, or apply for a job with it. You can delete it at any time.
Yes. Your words stay the same; press a different template and the design changes at once. You can switch as often as you like.
Yes, the builder works on phones and tablets. For downloading the PDF, a laptop or desktop gives the best result.
