Frequently asked questions
- Does Zety or Resumere have better ATS support?
- Both produce ATS-readable CVs. Resumere additionally tunes output for the enterprise stacks UK employers run (Workday, Taleo) and matches keywords from the job description you paste in, which helps for keyword-screened roles.
- Is Resumere a good Zety alternative in the UK?
- Yes — it's designed for serious job seekers, produces ATS-safe CV exports, and uses pay-per-use pricing in GBP rather than a recurring subscription.
- Do I have to subscribe to download my CV?
- No. With Resumere you build for free and pay per use only when you generate or export — there's no subscription and no auto-renew.
- How long should a UK CV be?
- Two pages is the UK standard for most experienced roles, and one page is fine for graduates and early-career applicants. That differs from the one-page US resume convention, so don't cut a strong UK CV down to a single page just because a template suggests it.
