Beyond terrible

Great idea, but it doesn't work. Tried it twice: In version 1, uploaded resume and spent hours fixing numerous app errors and repeatedly saving progress, however, Resumeup deleted my resume. In version 2, Resumeup changed real senior level work experiences into fake generic work experiences and deleted the most uniquely valuable aspects. The result is a fictional resume with no basis in reality. Completely unusable. Deeply regret having spent money on this; it is terrible. Total waste.

Hi — I’m really sorry you ran into this. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.

About the missing resume: ResumeUp.AI does not auto-delete user resumes. The most common cause we see is logging in with a different email / SSO method. Could you drop an email to us at rohith@resumeup.ai with the email(s) you used so we can check your account and recover your work if it’s sitting under a...

A Powerful Vision Held Back by Rigid AI and Auto-Apply Issues

I'm always on the lookout for tools that can streamline the job search process. I've compared ResumeUp.ai to my go-to tools, LiveCareer and Simplify.jobs, as well as fellow AppSumo offerings like Canyon and Prepin.ai. While ResumeUp.ai has some really useful features and a promising roadmap, it still falls a little short of being the comprehensive solution I'm looking for. It has the potential to be a "unicorn," but it needs significant improvements to truly compete with the benchmarks set by Simplify.jobs and LiveCareer. For that reason, I can only give this tool 3 tacos, but I suspect that very soon as the tool improves, that rating will change!

The AI Resume Review: A Rigid Approach
The core of the platform is the AI Resume Review, and this is where I found the most significant problems. The AI's suggestions often felt arbitrary and failed to account for the needs of a modern, senior-level job seeker. For example, it flagged my professional email address as "unprofessional" and misidentified my well-known professional certifications (PMP, CSM, PSM) as a "lack of job title." The tool's scoring system is based on rigid, one-size-fits-all rules, such as assuming a resume is "missing" sections when they are simply in a custom format. The AI also penalizes resumes that don't use the specific term "WORK EXPERIENCE," failing to recognize common alternatives like "WORK HISTORY" or "PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE." This rigidity extends to its recommendation of 3 to 6 bullet points per job, a standard that aligns with junior-level careers and doesn't accommodate the 7 to 10 bullet points often needed by senior professionals to demonstrate extensive accomplishments.

Auto-Apply and Job Tracker Limitations
Another major challenge was the Auto-Apply and Job Tracker functionality. While the auto-apply feature "mostly" worked, in comparison to Simplify, many applications were incomplete and required manual intervention. It also failed on several major platforms, including those from ICF, NBA, UNFI, Nbrandt, and Lever. In one instance, a Takeda job could not be saved to the tracker automatically and had to be entered manually. The job descriptions that are imported to the job tracker are a mess; all formatting—including bullets, bold, italics, and even paragraph breaks—is stripped away, leaving an unreadable wall of text.

The auto-fill feature frequently struggled with standard application questions. It was unable to properly parse and fill in city, state, and zip code fields, and consistently skipped voluntary disclosure questions regarding ethnicity, veteran status, and disability. This is a significant drawback when compared to Simplify.jobs, which handles these tasks with greater accuracy.

The Job Tracker itself has serious limitations. It lacks the ability to delete jobs, which makes it difficult to manage your list. While ResumeUp.ai offers a robust set of application statuses (Saved, Applied, Interviewing, Negotiating, Offer Accepted, Offer Declined, Rejected, Archive), it is missing key statuses that Simplify.jobs includes, such as "Screen," "Withdrawn," and "Ghosted," which are critical for tracking a modern job search lifecycle.

Final Thoughts
In summary, ResumeUp.ai has a solid foundation for an AI job search assistant, particularly with its ATS checker and resume builder, which align with LiveCareer's strengths. However, its rigid AI review logic, unreliable autofill, and limited job tracker functionality—especially when compared to Simplify.jobs—make it a challenging tool for a senior-level job seeker. It needs significant improvements to its AI, application support, and job tracker management to become a truly competitive solution in this space. In summary, ResumeUp.ai is not quite a "Simplify + LiveCareer" killer (yet). However, it is a promising tool that just needs some polish to compete with Simplify and LiveCareer. I'm going to hang on to it and look forward to seeing this tool come into its own.

Thanks for the thoughtful, detailed review—and for sticking with us. You’ve highlighted areas we’re actively improving.

AI Resume Review (rigidity):

- We’re expanding our parser to recognize more section titles, but the common ones are already handled (e.g., “Work History,” “Professional Experience”). We are working on making the scoring less rule-bound.
- You can already adjust enhancement...

Great Tool for Jobseekers & career coaches

I have been personally using this tool to assist my network and coach young talents in landing their next dream job. As a 20-year veteran in the tech recruitment industry, I know that a well-written resume alone won't guarantee a job; there are other important components in the job search process. A well-organized resume (not just a well-written one) is the first step on this journey. Reumeup.ai is an excellent tool with some great features. I highly recommend it.

Really appreciate this, especially coming from a 20-year tech recruiting veteran.

Your point about organization (not just writing) is spot on. ResumeUp.AI was built to help coaches and candidates systematize: ATS checks, JD-tailoring with Resume Score, clean layouts, ATS templates, and other job search workflow features.

Thanks for recommending us!

Does not work in UAE as of Sept 2025. It is good when it works though!

It worked earlier, but it no longer functions in the UAE and the founder/team advise using a VPN to make it work. Some issues with the internet/ telecom service providers in the UAE do not allow logging in via Google.

In general, the product is fine and works well - when it does. More formats, standard functions to track job applications etc. I have used Canyon too and to be honest, I do not find any groundbreaking difference. However, I'd say that I find Canyon's UI/UX far better than resumeup.ai - that is my experience/ preference.

UPDATE: this issue is fixed now, and other users confirmed that they are able to access the website from the UAE region.

Thanks for flagging this—and you’re right. There’s an ongoing issue between our authentication provider and UAE ISPs (Etisalat/Du) that’s blocking Login.

Incident status page: https://status.supabase.com/incidents/spyxwjqn7d2f

Until it’s resolved, please use the VPN network...
