6 Top Professional AI Resume Builders Offering the Best Resume Writing Services in 2025

Let me be honest - the way we work is changing faster than ever.

Not long ago, there was no AI, no jobs tied to passion, and most people stuck to a handful of traditional fields.

But today, the job market is more diverse - and far more competitive.

Just to put it in perspective - even computer engineering students are facing more rejections than ever before.

And despite all the advancements, one thing hasn't changed - your resume is still the key to landing a job.

That single sheet of paper talks about your passions, skills, and potential - and it's often your only shot at making a first impression.

But let's face it - creating a professional resume is no walk in the park.

You need to add your best skills, format it perfectly, and make it irresistible to recruiters.

That's exactly what I'm here to help you with.

In this post, we'll learn how to build an ATS-friendly, professional resume with different resume builders and AI, so you can stand out and get hired faster.

What's in it for you? By the end, you will learn everything you need to create a professional resume that can help you get hired easily.

Let's start.

Why to use ATS-friendly resume builders (and AI)

To give you a precise answer, let me share some stats.

According to a CNBC post, 75% of resumes are never read by a human. It's because most companies use "Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)" to filter out the irrelevant resumes.

And these ATS systems are used by almost every company in the world.

But what is this ATS system? Well, it is basically a software used by employers to manage job applications.

It filters out not-so-important resumes by automatically scanning resumes for specific keywords, skills, and experience mentioned in the job description.

And talking about the remaining resumes, the hiring managers, on average, spend just 6 to 9 seconds on a single resume.

You see, this is the main reason most of the resumes are thrown out and never reach or get read.

The solution?

Use ATS-friendly resume builders so that you can at least get a chance to be read by hiring managers, and there are more chances to get hired.

Even some of the resume builders provide proper and latest templates that increase the chances of being hired.

And thanks to the growth of AI, you can even take the help of AI to make your resume better.

And that's what we are going to talk about today.

The parameters I focused on while listing the resume builders

Let me be honest - if you search the internet for "resume builders," you'll find a ton of tools to choose from.

But the reality is that most of them are generic.

I've personally tried more than 30+ resume builders, and many of them don't fill the mark.

So, I'm not going to waste your time talking about some BS resume builders, and I'll share with you the best ones.

With that said, here are the key parameters I focused on while narrowing down my recommendations:

• Ease of use: The process to create your resume should be easy navigation, and better user experience.
• Customization options: A resume builder should offer flexibility based on your industry, job type, and personal style. It should allow you to edit templates, add custom sections, and adjust formatting without limitations.
• ATS compatibility: Many resumes are filtered by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before they even reach a recruiter. The resume builders I recommend ensure your resumes are ATS-friendly, increasing the chances of getting shortlisted.
• Uses AI: Most of the resume builders I listed have AI assistants to help you create your resume.
• Pricing & export flexibility: The tool should be in your budget and allows you to download your resume in multiple formats without compromising the layout or design.

With these criteria in mind, let's dive into the recommendations.

1. Resume Writers from Fiverr

I know this is not a resume builder, but even then, I want to position it at the top.

Why? Because this is the simplest process - you can hire an expert and get your resume done at an affordable price.

But how?

• Simply visit Fiverr.
• Search for "resume writers."
• Apply some filters and your budget.
• Find your desired profiles and contact the one that can help you build your resume.

You see, it provides you with multiple experts whom you can choose from.

But why use Fiverr to build your resume? Well, there are multiple reasons, like:

• You can get your resume from experts at an affordable rate. Other platforms charge a lot.
• The experts are real professionals who understand hiring trends and what recruiters look for in a resume.
• No need to follow a tedious process to use a resume builder and figure out what to add.
• You can filter results based on different categories and your budget.

Other than that, you can also hire experts for cover letter writing, content writing, LinkedIn profile optimization, career coaching, interview preparation, and more.

2. Novoresume

Let me be honest - I have been using Novoresume since the days when I was studying engineering.

It's a free resume builder that lets you build your dream resume within minutes by just adding your details and downloading it instantly.

But why Novoresume? It has great free templates, is easy to use with customizable options, and is ATS-friendly.

You just need to visit their website and create an account.

After that, click on the button "Build My Resume." It will ask you for your experience level.

If you are a student, select the "Student" option or any other one so that you can get the needed template from which you can select the one.

3. Enhancv

I'm talking about Enhancv.

You just need to visit their website and click on the button "Build Your Resume."

It will then ask you some general questions, like whether you have an existing resume, selecting a template, adding your LinkedIn profile link to import information, and more.

I skipped adding my LinkedIn profile link and went ahead.

As you can see, I can add my info here, customize the template, change the design and font, and use the AI assistant as well.

Later, after adding my info, I can download it for free and even share the resume link with others.

It even helps you get your resume score based on different parameters.

You just need to upload your resume, and that's all.

It's basically a free and fast AI resume checker that does 16 important checks to make sure your resume is ready and helps you get interview calls.

4. Canva

Let's be honest - every one of us knows about Canva, and most of us even use it.

And let me tell you, they even help you build your own resume.

You just need to visit their website and search for "resume."

Then you will get a number of cool templates, out of which you can select the one that you like.

Most of the templates are free, and I liked the multiple template options and even the designs.

It's that easy.

5. Zety

Now, let me talk about another resume builder that is more of an all-in-one career platform.

The only issue is that it is not at all free.

You need to buy a paid subscription to download your resume, which costs $1.95 or ₹195, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

6. Teal

Now, let me talk about the last resume builder, called Teal. It is similar to Zety.

It provides you with an AI resume builder, job application tracker, resume scoring, cover letter generator, and more.

They mainly help you create a resume for a specific job by using the job description, making it more likely for you to succeed.

To get started, simply visit their website and create an account.

After that, they have a clear interface where you can add your info or import it.

You can even customize the design, analyze your resume, and export it in PDF format for free.

Here's a great demo to get started:

How to use AI to create the perfect resume

So far, we've learned a lot about resume builders.

And I've listed the best ones that have great resume templates, are highly customizable, free or budget-friendly, and come with multiple features.

Now, it's time to talk about how you can use AI to create the perfect resume.

To give you an example, I wrote a simple prompt on ChatGPT:

I'm Nitin Sharma, living in Mumbai, a web developer with over 4 years of experience in developing websites.

I'm primarily a MERN stack developer and have worked with companies like Locofy, Fiverr, and others. Apart from that, I write online about AI and technology.

Can you create an ATS-friendly resume that can easily help me get hired?

And here's what it generated:

You see, it was able to generate the content for my resume, and the format is really good.

Other than that, I can upload my existing resume, ask for any needed modifications, and it will give me the updated info.

Along with that, I can even ask some specific questions, and it will provide the answers I need.

The best way to build a resume

You see, there are quite a few options when it comes to building a resume.

You can hire resume writers from Fiverr or use one of the many resume builders available online. Which one you choose really depends on you and your situation.

But from my experience, if you don't want to spend a lot of time building your resume and want one that's perfectly designed to help you get hired, Fiverr is the way to go.

You can browse through and pick the best resume writer who fits your needs.

Even when I needed a resume, I hired a resume writer from Fiverr, and it worked out really well.

So if you're someone who has no clue how to create a resume or where to even start, hiring a professional writer is a smart choice.

These resume writers know everything - how ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) work, the best resume templates to use, the type of information that should go in, the right keywords to include, and more.

Sure, there's also the option of using AI tools or online resume builders.

But here's the problem - you don't have a proper understanding of what to write. That's what makes it harder to get hired.

No doubt, AI might seem like a quick fix, but it's not smart enough to deliver outstanding content.

It can give you ideas, but it won't generate something that truly stands out. And that's the key difference.

If you really want a resume that works, go with someone who knows the ins and outs of the hiring process. It'll make all the difference.

Hope you like it.

That's it - thanks.
