About
Resumes that get opened.
Resumely was started in Nairobi by Justine Gichana after watching too many capable Kenyans get screened out of jobs by resumes that didn't survive the ATS or didn't read like the person behind them.
The mainstream resume builders are templated, dollar-priced, and assume a subscription. The fallback — paying a CV consultant KES 5,000 to retype your experience into Word — is worse.
Resumely is the third option. Pay KES 499 in M-Pesa. Get a typeset, ATS-friendly PDF in your inbox and on WhatsApp inside 90 seconds. No subscription, no signup wall, no foreign card required.
What we believe.
- 01
A resume is a piece of writing, not a form.
The mainstream tools treat a resume like a database to fill in. Resumely treats it like a story to typeset. That's why every template is designed around editorial typography — not a configurator.
- 02
AI assists, never invents.
The AI rewrites what you give it. It will not fabricate metrics, titles, or experience you don't have. If a recruiter calls to verify, what's on the PDF should be defensible — that's the only standard that matters.
- 03
Local payment, global standard.
M-Pesa is the primary tier. Cards work. Card-required gates are not acceptable. The PDF is recruiter-grade anywhere — Nairobi, Lagos, London — but the funnel is built for the way Kenyans actually pay.
- 04
Magazine over machine.
A resume that gets opened looks like a Cabin Magazine page, not a SaaS dashboard. Refined serif display, considered whitespace, one accent color used sparingly. Boring is the enemy of being read.
