Even though it works.
Customized resumes
5.8% interview rate
Generic resumes
2.7% interview rate
2.1x more interviews with customization
But only 6% of job seekers actually customize.
Why? It takes 90 minutes per application.

How Vivid Works
Four steps to a resume that actually gets interviews.
Upload Your Resume
Drag and drop your master resume. We'll analyze it for gaps.
Answer Smart Questions
Our AI identifies what's missing—vague metrics, missing context, unquantified achievements—then asks targeted questions to fill them in. Takes 3–5 minutes.
Paste the Job Description
Copy/paste any job posting. Our Chrome extension makes this instant on 16+ job boards.
Get Your Resume
Our 80-step AI workflow generates your customized resume + cover letter in minutes. Download and apply.
Most tools just swap keywords. We actually understand your career story first—then customize intelligently.
Why Vivid Resumes Are Better
Most AI tools have a "garbage in, garbage out" problem.
Upload a weak resume → get a weak customization.
Vivid fixes this before generating anything:
We analyze your resume for gaps (vague metrics, missing context, unquantified achievements)
We ask smart follow-up questions to fill them in
THEN we generate your resume using the complete picture
Result? Resumes that sound genuinely impressive—not just keyword-stuffed.
ChatGPT

See the full side-by-side comparisonResume builders have a trust problem.
44 pricing complaints. 19 cancellation nightmares. 14 bait-and-switch reports. Across 8 major resume builders. We built Vivid to be different.
No Subscription. Period.
You pay $10 per resume. That's it. No recurring charges, no 4-week billing cycles, no cancellation button to hunt for. Credits never expire.
Price First, Resume Second
We show you exactly what it costs before you type a single word. No building your resume for 2 hours only to discover you need to pay to download it.
Every Fact Verified
Our RAG pipeline checks every claim against your actual resume. Research shows ChatGPT hallucinates 20-40% of content in complex tasks. Our multi-agent review system catches fabricated claims before they reach your resume.
ATS-Tested, Not Just "ATS-Friendly"
72% of Canva resume templates fail basic ATS parsing (ResumeGenCV). Our resumes are algorithmically scanned before you download. Single-column, standard fonts, proper heading hierarchy — verified, not assumed.
Real complaints. Our answer.
“Zety unethically billed my account for 10 months without sending receipts” — Trustpilot
Vivid: Pay once. $10. Done.
“An absolute unprofessional and scam company. They have taken money out of my account via deceit.” — Trustpilot, Resume.io, March 2026
Vivid: No subscription to cancel. Ever.

Why I Built This
Gabriel Fenton
Founder, Vivid Resume
I’m a PM who can’t write code. Not a single line. I spent six months job hunting and watched the same broken system grind everyone down — 100+ applications, maybe 3 callbacks. I built myself a Claude pipeline that generated tailored resumes for each application. It worked.
So I shipped a production platform in under 3 months. My GitHub has two contributors. Both are Claude.

Per resume
I used Claude Opus for architecture — the best reasoning model for design decisions. Claude Sonnet for resume generation — Anthropic’s best model for high-quality, high-volume work. No subscription model because I watched people get quietly billed for months by tools they forgot they signed up for. Every decision was deliberate.
