Our Vision
Fight Galactic Unemployment.
„We ask recruiters what makes for a successful resume. Then we take these insights and build them into our resume templates. Thus, when you use our online resume builder, you know you are giving recruiters exactly what they want.”
Origin
Birth of a project
Novorésumé began in 2014 when Andrei, Cristian, and Stefan noticed a common problem among several of their contacts. Despite having extensive work experience and impressive skill sets, these individuals didn’t know how to showcase their talents with a professional resume and cover letter. Sensing an opportunity to help others with their job search, the three of them joined forces in exploring possible solutions as part of a university project.
Idea
By combining their respective backgrounds in technology, marketing, and design, the three came up with the idea of an intuitive, web-based tool that would make it as simple as possible to produce an eye-catching resume.
Outcome
After a rigorous development and testing process, the outcome was an online resume builder that combines functionality and aesthetics to maximize users' chances of being invited for job interviews. The application first launched in February 2016, and it quickly gained international attention after being featured in Times, Forbes and Business Insider.
The Team
We have always believed that co-creation with users and recruiters is the key to our success. By soliciting the feedback of both groups, we ensure that users' and recruiters' needs continually align with our products. Not only does this allow us to improve the current application, but it has led to several ideas for additional products and services.
