We built a CV builder with 50+ ATS-friendly templates — here’s what we learned
We’ve been working on Toolscase CV Builder, and one thing became clear early on: building a useful resume tool is about more than providing good-looking templates.
A resume can look professional but still create problems when it goes through an applicant tracking system. So we focused on combining resume design with tools that help people improve their applications.
The current version includes:
50+ ATS-friendly resume templates
ATS compatibility checking
Cover letter builder
One-click PDF downloads
AI-assisted resume suggestions
Advanced ATS optimization features
We also wanted to reduce friction for someone who just wants to create a CV, so users can start building without creating an account.
One of the interesting challenges has been figuring out how much guidance to give. ATS feedback can be useful, but too many recommendations can make resume building more complicated instead of easier.
We’re continuing to improve that balance and make the process of creating a professional resume simpler.

I’d be interested to hear from other founders and job seekers: what is the biggest problem you’ve experienced with online resume builders?
