Extremely easy to use! I used hireflow.net to revise a resume I prepared and was really impressed with. Apparently I was the only one. No calls, no interviews, no nothing. I worked with hireflow.net to rework the resume using my information and the job posting. Wow, it was very impressive and I have already had 2 interviews for the job I was seeking. It is worth the amount you pay for such a great and useful tool.

It has been a great experience with the tool and service. Tool is incredibly intuitive and has a wide range of formats to choose from that would reflect one's personality. The support team is also highly responsive and shows high level of professionalism.

Seker V

Overall very good experience, although AI customization was reformulating a bit too much, didn't feel always natural so you'll need to spend a few hours tweaking the result. Proposed jobs are a good fit but ignore the location.
