What is an ATS and why does my resume need to pass it?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes before a human sees them. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it gets rejected automatically. HAIRED's resume builder creates ATS-friendly CVs by design.

Is the HAIRED CV builder free?

Yes. You can build your resume completely free. The free plan lets you preview your CV and run up to 3 ATS analyses per day. Downloading a clean PDF without watermark requires a Pro plan starting at $9.99/week.

What is the Job Match feature?

Job Match is a Pro feature where you paste a job description and upload your current CV. The AI rewrites your CV to match that specific job — adjusting keywords, structure, and emphasis — so it passes ATS for that role.

What resume templates does HAIRED offer?

HAIRED offers 4 ATS-friendly templates: Harvard (classic, preferred by consulting and finance), Modern (clean design for tech and startups), Executive (senior roles and leadership positions), and ATS Pro (maximum keyword density for automated screening).

How much does HAIRED Pro cost?

HAIRED Pro is available at $9.99/week, $29/month, or $149/year. All Pro plans include unlimited CV downloads, Job Match, LinkedIn tools, AI writing assistant, and priority support.
