This is an example guide page with MDX support. Every component below tests the custom styles in mdx-components.tsx.

Why Use Resumely?

Resumely helps recruiters screen candidates at scale and helps candidates check their resumes before applying. The AI reads each CV, compares it against your job description, and gives you an instant match score.

What You'll Learn

  • Creating an account and setting up your profile
  • Creating your first job posting
  • Uploading and screening resumes in bulk
  • Checking your resume for ATS compatibility
  • 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:

  • Email and password — choose a strong password, pick your role.
  • Google — one-click sign-up with your Google account.
  • LinkedIn — use your professional profile.

Tip: If you sign up as a recruiter, you'll land on the recruiter dashboard. Candidates get a different dashboard tailored for resume checking.

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 (e.g., "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 (e.g., React, TypeScript, AWS).
  4. Nice-to-Have Skills — bonus qualifications that improve scores but aren't dealbreakers.
  5. Visibility — choose Public, Internal, or Private.

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

Click "Start Screening" and the AI will process each resume. Results include:

  • Match Score (0–100%) — overall fit percentage

  • Missing Keywords — skills not found (shown in red)
