Kickresume

What Kickresume is

Kickresume is a resume and job application platform with a website builder built in. Its site calls the feature a resume website builder, and the pitch is a single line: "Is it a CV or is it a website? Yes!" It is aimed at job seekers and professionals who want a public page that carries their experience, skills and projects, rather than a PDF. The homepage menu sums the website feature up as "Let employers find you online." For someone who has never built a site, the starting content is the resume they already have, not a blank page.

What you build and how

The website feature lives inside the same account as the resume tools. To start, you log in, open My Documents in the top bar and select Websites. The help page lists 3 ways to begin: create a new website, import information from LinkedIn, or create a website from one of your existing Kickresume resumes. The company says the builder draws on your existing resumes, so everything in the resume is already on the site and there is nothing to upload again. It describes the result as "essentially an interactive resume", a page with a public URL that can list your skills, experience, projects, portfolios, resume and social media links.

Next you pick a template. The page says Kickresume offers 1 free template and 6 premium templates for websites, designed by graphic designers and HR experts. Then you edit. The company describes the editing as interactive and simple, and a separate design step lets you change the background, fonts and date formats by hand. Finally you click publish. That is the whole flow on the page: choose a start, choose a template, edit, design, publish.

This is a personal-site tool, not a general site builder, and the data layer is your resume content. What it gives you is a clean, template-based web presence for a person, which is why it fits the portfolio-builders category here. It is also listed under websites, because the output is a published website with its own public address, assembled from templates you can restyle.

Around the website feature sits the rest of the product, and the pages describe it at length. The homepage lists a resume builder with an AI resume writer, an ATS resume checker that compares your resume against the most successful ones in its database and gives a score, resume tailoring to a specific job description, a cover letter writer the pages call GPT-4.1 powered, a resignation letter generator, interview questions practice, a job board, a career map, a LinkedIn import, and a mobile app for building a resume on a phone. Further AI tools include an AI resume rewriter that puts your content into industry language, resume translation and resume feedback. The company says its database holds 1,500+ job-specific resumes belonging to real people, which you can use as examples. The resume and cover letter templates have names such as Reed, Sharp, Basic, Midday, Europe, Postcard, Polygon and Newsweek. The homepage files them under Free, ATS-friendly, Simple, Professional and Creative, and describes them as "Designed by typographers, approved by recruiters, loved by the recently hired."

Plans, pricing and support

The online-web page repeats twice that the website feature is free: "And yes, it's for free!" It also says the website templates come in free or premium versions. The numbers on that page are 1 free template and 6 premium ones, with 3 ways to start.

Plan details come from a help center article on the company's own site that compares resume builders. For Kickresume it lists a Free plan with an unlimited number of resumes and downloads, as long as you stick to free customization options, 4 customizable resume and cover letter templates and 1 website template. Premium can be paid monthly at $24 a month, half-yearly at $14 a month, or yearly at $10 a month. Students and teachers get 6 months of Premium for free, with full access to all features and customization options during that time. The same article lists 40+ premium templates, which it counts among the resume templates, which is a separate figure from the website templates. That article is the company's own write-up, so its Kickresume prices are the vendor's statement about its own plans.

The homepage says Kickresume is "Trusted by 8+ million job seekers" and prints app and review ratings of 4.7 / 5 on Google, 4.6 / 5 on Apple and 4.7 / 5 on Trustpilot. A blog post on the same page says the company analyzed 2 million resumes to find the 10 mistakes almost everyone makes. The homepage also says the company's free-to-try tools help you find a job, land the job, or quit the job,. A Forbes quote it prints reads: "We named Kickresume our top choice for most job seekers thanks to its simple interface, worthwhile AI tools and sizable template library." That is a testimonial the company chose to display. The homepage also contrasts Kickresume with other resume builders on unlimited downloads and automatic page breaks. The help text promises that "Kick's customer service team is always ready to help" if the FAQ does not answer your question.

Who it suits and who it does not

Kickresume suits a job seeker who already keeps a resume in the tool and wants a public page with the same content, with no extra data entry. A student or recent graduate is the clearest case, given the 6 months of Premium for students and teachers and a free website template. A freelancer who wants a simple online CV with a link to share will also find the flow short: start from a resume or LinkedIn, pick a template, publish.

It is a narrower tool than a dedicated portfolio or site builder. The website feature is described only as a resume-based personal site. Its content is your experience, skills, projects and links, so a designer or photographer who wants to present visual work at length will find a dedicated portfolio builder a closer match. With 7 website templates in total and 1 of them free, the choice is smaller than the 40+ premium resume templates suggest. If your site has nothing to do with your job search, a general builder will give you more room.
