What is an ATS and why does my resume need to pass it?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes before a human sees them. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it gets rejected automatically. HAIRED's resume builder creates ATS-friendly CVs by design.

Is the HAIRED CV builder free?

Yes. You can build your resume completely free. The free plan lets you preview your CV and run up to 3 ATS analyses per day. Downloading a clean PDF without watermark requires a Pro plan starting at $9.99/week.

What is the Job Match feature?

Job Match is a Pro feature where you paste a job description and upload your current CV. The AI rewrites your CV to match that specific job — adjusting keywords, structure, and emphasis — so it passes ATS for that role.

What resume templates does HAIRED offer?

HAIRED offers 4 ATS-friendly templates: Harvard (classic, preferred by consulting and finance), Modern (clean design for tech and startups), Executive (senior roles and leadership positions), and ATS Pro (maximum keyword density for automated screening).

How much does HAIRED Pro cost?

HAIRED Pro is available at $9.99/week, $29.99/month, $89.99 for 6 months, or $119/year in the US (from €7.99/week and €14.99/month in Spain). All Pro plans include unlimited CV downloads, Job Match, LinkedIn tools, AI writing assistant, and priority support.

How do I cancel my Resume.io subscription?

According to independent guides, log in, open your profile menu, go to Account Settings and find My Plan, then cancel or downgrade. Some guides also describe a Cancel Subscription option on the Resume.io contact page, where you enter your account email and confirm through a link in the email you receive. Keep the confirmation.

How do I cancel my Resume Genius subscription?

Independent guides agree on the basic route: log in, open the account menu, go to your plan or subscription section and choose to cancel. You usually keep access until the end of the billing period. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancel in that store's subscription settings instead.

Does Resume.io give refunds?

Sources conflict. Some guides say refunds are only available if you cancel within the trial period, and others say there are no refunds for subscription services once billed. Check the terms in your account and contact support through the billing topic if you were charged unexpectedly.

Does Resume Genius give refunds?

Guides commonly mention a window of around 14 days, but none of the sources we found quoted Resume Genius's own terms, so treat that figure as unverified. After that, cancelling usually stops future charges without refunding the current period.

What should I do before I cancel?

Download your resume in every format you need and copy the text of each section into a plain document. Access to downloads is usually tied to a paid plan, and your words belong to you, so you can rebuild the resume in any tool.

Cancel Resume.io or Resume Genius: Steps & Refunds (2026)

Short answer: to cancel Resume.io or Resume Genius, log in, open your account or plan settings, choose to cancel the subscription, and keep the confirmation email. If you cannot find the option, use support (contact form, live chat or phone) and ask for written confirmation that auto-renewal is off. If you were just charged, ask for a refund straight away.

How we wrote this: neither company's own help pages came up when we searched, so the steps and refund terms come from independent 2026 guides, which do not always agree. Confirm the details inside your account before relying on them.

How do I cancel Resume.io?

Independent guides describe two routes:

From your account

Log in and click your profile icon (top right).
Open Account Settings.
Find My Plan and choose to cancel or downgrade.
Keep the confirmation email.

From the contact page

Open Resume.io's Contact page and choose Cancel Subscription.
Enter the email address on the account.
Click the link in the confirmation email to finish. Check spam if you do not see it.

Afterward, look at your plan page to confirm it no longer shows as renewing.

How do I cancel Resume Genius?

Guides agree on the basic path:

Log in to your account.
Open the account menu, then My Subscription (or the plan section).
Choose Cancel, and confirm.
Save the confirmation (email or a screenshot).

You usually keep premium access until the end of the period you already paid for. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancel in that store's subscription settings, because the site cannot cancel it for you.

Does Resume.io or Resume Genius give refunds?

This is the part where sources disagree, so read your own terms and act quickly:

Service	What guides report	How sure we are
Resume.io	Refund mainly if you cancel during the trial; after billing, cancelling stops future charges but may not refund the current cycle	Mixed: sources conflict
Resume Genius	A refund window of around 14 days; after that, access runs to the end of the period	Unverified: no source quoted the official terms

What helps in practice:

Cancel first so the next charge does not happen, then ask for the refund.
Use the billing topic on the contact form (Resume.io) or chat/phone (Resume Genius), and include the account email, the charge amount and date, and what happened.
Document your attempt to cancel (dates, screenshots).
If support does not resolve an unauthorized charge, a dispute with your card issuer is a normal option.

What if I cannot find the cancel option?

Try another browser or a private window, and turn off ad or tracking blockers for the page.
Check where you paid. Purchases through Apple or Google Play must be cancelled there.
Contact support and ask for written confirmation that auto-renewal is off.

What happens to my resume if I cancel?

Downloads are usually tied to a paid plan. Before you cancel:

Download the resume and cover letter in every format you need (PDF and Word).
Copy the text of each section into a plain document. Your content is yours, and any builder can re-flow it into a new template in minutes.

Then cancel.

Is there a free alternative?

HAIRED's free tier needs no credit card and has no trial that turns into a subscription. A free ATS check matters more than the template: according to HAIRED's analysis of 10,000 resumes, 73% had at least one critical error that stops applicant tracking systems from reading them correctly (see the full study).

Want a Resume Tool Without the Trial Clock?

HAIRED's ATS analyzer and resume builder are free to start. No card, and no trial that turns into a subscription.

Run a check with the CV Analyzer and build the resume in the Resume Builder. Other reviews and guides: Resume.io review, Resume Genius review, how to cancel Zety and how to cancel FlexJobs.
