About Resume Genius

Our History

Resume Genius was founded in 2009 in Greensboro, North Carolina, with the idea that the resume creation process could be automated and simplified for American job seekers. Since then, millions of people have built resumes using the Genius resume builder, many of whom have landed jobs at Fortune 500 companies and in a wide range of industries.

As of today, the Genius team is split into two offices, with business operations managed out of beautiful Lucern, Switzerland, and marketing based in bustling Taipei, Taiwan. While these offices may be outside the US, the team’s goal of providing for both Americans and English speakers all over the world remains the same, and our desire to help anyone get the great job they deserve is unchanged.

In addition to providing resume and cover letter builder software, Resume Genius has grown into the web’s most comprehensive database of free resume templates, as well as cover letter and resume examples by industry. The Resume Genius blog covers all career-related topics — from the best interview tips to crafting a standout resume.

Our thoughts on resume writing, interviewing, and job hunting have been featured on many reputable news outlets, including Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Monster, CNET, The NY Post, and many more. We’ve also been cited on 100+ university and government websites for our career advice and expertise.

Where We're Going

In the beginning, our company mission was laser-focused on simplifying the resume creation process for Americans. However, it soon became apparent that the careers industry was much broader, and that to best help our growing audience we needed to expand our reach.

In addition to becoming resume and career experts ourselves, we began contacting external professionals experienced in recruitment, HR, and management to help best serve each user who lands on our website.
