We wrote 80,000 resumes by hand
before we wrote any software
ResumeFox is built by TopStack Resume, a career-services firm founded in 2018 and staffed entirely in the United States. For years the work was done the slow way: a client talked to a writer, the writer asked the questions the resume didn't answer, and the resume came back rewritten.
That's still the best way to do it. It is also expensive, and most people looking for a job can't spend several hundred dollars finding out whether their resume is the problem. ResumeFox is the attempt to hand the same standards to everyone else.
Figures are TopStack Resume's. ResumeFox is new and has no review history of its own yet. When it does, we'll show it alongside these rather than quietly replacing the attribution.
The rules we built it under
A few principles sit under everything it writes. They're the reason we can stand behind what comes out of it.
We work from what's on your page.
People leave real credentials off their resumes all the time. So when a posting asks for something we can't see, we say so plainly and suggest adding it if you have it.
Fit in plain bands, with the reasoning.
Fit comes back in bands with the reasoning. A number teaches you to chase the number, and it implies a precision nobody has. Formatting checks report what they are: named, countable problems in the file.
Company facts come from real research.
Interview prep runs a live web search and works from what it returns. A client repeating an invented detail in a real interview is the worst thing this software could do to someone.
Your practice video stays on your device.
Only the transcript is sent for feedback. The recording itself stays in your browser.
Every template is built to be read.
Every template is single-column and table-free, so what looks good on screen also comes through intact in applicant tracking software.
Real numbers, attributed.
Every figure on this site is TopStack's, credited to TopStack, or a fact about a file, and the reviews link back to where they were left.
Who runs it
TopStack Resume is owner-operated out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The writing staff (over a hundred writers, recruiters, HR professionals and career coaches, including Certified Professional Résumé Writers) is the same group whose standards the software follows. They still write resumes by hand for TopStack clients; that work is what keeps the rulebooks current rather than frozen at launch.
Questions, complaints, or something the AI got wrong: support@resumefox.ai. A person reads it.
