Getting Started with Resumely

This guide shows the fastest path from signup to a real first action in Resumely.


Why Use Resumely?

Resumely helps recruiters screen applicants at scale and manage the hiring flow from job creation to interviews.

What You'll Learn

  • Creating an account and setting up your profile
  • Creating your first job posting
  • Uploading and screening applicants
  • Managing your hiring pipeline

Step 1: Create an Account

Head over to resumely.live/register and fill in your details. You can sign up with:

Tip: recruiters land on the recruiter dashboard. Public applicants can apply to public jobs without a dashboard.


Step 2: Create Your First Job

Once logged in, click the "New Job" button from your dashboard. Fill in these details:

  1. Job Title - be specific, for example Senior React Developer instead of Developer.
  2. Description - write clearly with sections for responsibilities and requirements.
  3. Required Skills - list skills the AI should look for, for example React, TypeScript, AWS.
  4. Nice-to-Have Skills - bonus qualifications that improve scores but are not dealbreakers.
  5. Visibility - choose Public, Internal, or Private.

The more detailed your job description, the more accurate the AI match scores will be.

  • Matched Keywords - skills found in the resume
  • Missing Keywords - skills not found in the resume
