Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Thank you @kevin for hunting us. We wouldn’t be here today without your hunt of the original Standard Resume, five years ago. We have created over 100,000 resumes and helped people get jobs at Google, Apple, Square, Nike, and many more amazing companies. That experience, combined with the feedback from our users and the Product Hunt community has allowed us to build an all-new version of Standard Resume that we think you will love. Highlights: ✨ 10 modern templates: professionally designed & hiring manager approved ⬇️ Import from LinkedIn: no extension required — just paste your profile URL ⚡ Easy to try: no account or credit card is required to try the app 🟦 All-new look and feel 📱 Share as a print-ready PDF or a web resume 🔒 Data privacy: we won’t sell your personal data like LinkedIn does 😎 Profile photos: for countries where they are standard 🎛️ Web resume permissions: optionally hide from search engines 🎨 Template customizations: change colors and options Check it out and let us know what you think! We love feedback 😄. 💙 @rileytomasek @sarimaani @sinanmaani

Oh wow amazing release! I love all the new designs and the integration with LinkedIn really works. I am totally switching to this platform <3

Congrats on the launch! I actually launched a resume builder myself just a few days back, so I know a lot of the challenges with creating a user friendly UI/UX flow - but you've done a really awesome job with this. Randomly we've also got templates with the same name! ("Yew" - mine are all just names of trees 🌳). Perhaps I'll rename that one haha 😅 Anyhow, congrats again - it looks great.

Thanks, @harrison_codes. Our templates are named after streets in Vancouver, Canada.

@rileytomasek the coincidence gets weirder! I'm actually living in Van at the moment, close to the part of Fairview/Granville/Kits where a whole bunch the streets are named after trees, which was why I started naming my templates after trees... Guess I'll need to check your template names before I release any others 😂
Riley Tomasek
Maker
@harrison_codes that's crazy! We'll try and stay away from the tree street names for new templates 😄.

Which resume template is your favorite?

As a long-term user of the original Standard Resume I was quite excited about this new release, so I tried it out immadiately. And I can say it's definitely a huge step forward. It's really intuitive to use, I can build different CVs for various job offers in no time. Especially I like the template and customization options, so I can match my resume with either my general homepage or a dedicated portfolio site. This sounds very ad-ish, I know, but I checked lots of resume building services, and this one really stands out. Congrats to the team!

@drikkes Thanks! It means a lot to hear that you have been using Standard Resume for five years and are happy with the updates 😃.

Both my wife and myself use Standard Resume — so much better than opening up a Word/Google doc.

@nimprojects thank you for the kind words, Martin.

I really like your idea with the example resumes! It's a great place to start for anyone who tries to carve a new resume :)
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Thanks, @tonixx! The example resumes are all Standard Resume users. We figure it is better to give real world examples, instead of the generically written examples that most other websites share.

I've gotten to know @rileytomasek and Standard Resume a bit over the last couple months and have been really impressed with the new Standard Resume product. I helped run a bunch of professional development type workshops in college, including resume building & design, and having something like this to help expedite the process would have been fantastic. Also having looked at thousands of resumes doing hiring, I can pretty confidently say a lot of people could use this help!
Riley Tomasek

👋 @nateliason. Helping people quickly design and build a good resume is exactly what we are trying to do!
Devin Fountain
I've been using Standard Resume for over a year now and it's a major part of how I got my last job. I think the best part of the service is that it acts as a single source of truth for your resume. So if you link it somewhere and need to update it, you don't have to resave another PDF.
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Glad to hear it @devinsfountain! How do you like the updates? Did you change to one of the new templates?
Devin Fountain
@rileytomasek Oh instantly switched to the template with the nice gradient blur on the right hand side. The type is gorgeously set and appropriately modern. Well done design team. Y'all know your type treatments.
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Thanks @devinsfountain! @sarimaani and @sinanmaani are responsible for all of the designs 😄. I also use that template for my resume: https://rsm.io/rileyt.

Thanks, @jonathan_griffiths2! Which template is your favorite?

This is a fantastic product; the only critique is sometimes, when switching through templates, the section titles will be separated from the list items. Any way to edit or change that?
Clay Kohut
?makers Do y’all have any plans to provide more detailed analytics around resume views etc?
Riley Tomasek
Maker
@claykohut we haven't had any requests for that. What details did you have in mind?
Clay Kohut
@rileytomasek Basically interested in analytics similar to those offered by DocSend (which I've used for decks / slides in the past). For example, the ability to send unique links to a web resume so that I can see when particular people have viewed my resume / how much time they spent on it / whether or not they shared it with others etc I dig your product and have been a user since 2018 - Analytics is the one major shortcoming from my perspective at the moment.
Riley Tomasek
Maker
@claykohut time on page and sharing are both great ideas — thanks for the insight. We don't have multiple links to the same resume, but as a workaround, you can make copies of your resume with unique URLs that have per resume tracking. So if you send one resume to one job application, you will know when it has been viewed. Does that make sense?
Clay Kohut
@rileytomasek np! Duplicating the resume definitely makes sense as a workaround. (Though at the moment the analytics are a bit vague, which sometimes makes me wonder if the view count includes me accidentally clicking my link or preview or something) I’d recommend checking out how docsend handles that feature specifically (they make it a first-class thing — and it’s super cool — simple yet powerful) Looking forward to seeing how y’all progress
Riley Tomasek
Maker
@claykohut thank you for taking the time to give me this feedback. I'll definitely check out how docsend is doing it.

Does this allow you to download your CV from your personal resume website? That would be a killer feature and I would definitely switch from my current provider if this was possible! Also the formatting of the resumes is wacky. There are a lot of big gaps where it decides to move the information to the next page.
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Hey @biggiephat, the resume website, and the PDF resume downloads come from the same data, so what I think you are asking is possible. Did I understand you correctly?
Farid Gasanov
Hey guys, Looking great! I like that you have good selection of templates and at the same time I am not bombarded with too many choices and feel lost. We have QFinds, video CV creation app, getting launched in PH on 10 July. Job seekers will have their own link with the recorded Video CV they can share anywhere. Perhaps you can develop the field in Standard Resume where jobseekers can put the link to their Visume?
Nikola Vukovic
Are the generated pdf resumes ATS friendly?
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Hey @vukovicnikola, all of the templates are built using PDF best practices and are parsable by modern ATS. If you are worried about legacy or low quality ATS, you should use one of the simple templates like Yew or Arbutus.
Jacob Jacquet
Hey this is so good! How would this compare to Rezi, if you've used it? Congrats on the launch
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Hey @jacob_rezi, the biggest differences would probably be that Standard Resume lets you import your LinkedIn profile without installing anything, and that we have a range of different hiring manager approved template styles.
Aadil Razvi
this is so slick, love the enhancements from v1!
Nelson Prato Barbosa
Fácil de usar. Recomendable 100%
Rose Grosshans
Great Product, I love how it looks! I am however quite frustrated that I can't seem to fit all my info on one page, even though I only use the common sections (and I have limited experience for now).
Riley Tomasek
Maker
Hi @rose_grosshans, we have a few templates that are optimized to fit a single page. Check out Alexander and Yew. It's also worth noting that two page resumes are ok for some industries (like tech) if you have the experience to justify it. Single page resumes are generally recommended for students and people who work in industries like finance.

Great thing to get a job! But I see some points that can make a product better. Riley, if you are looking for a product manager for Standart Resume - feel free to contact me)
