This site promised free assistance
January 18, 2021

This site promised free assistance. Love the ease of uploading my own resume and formatting with the resume builder. However, super disappointed that it was not free.

Our website offers a basic access account completely free which allows you to download a plain text version. However, upon finishing the document, we also give the option of continuing with our premium features if you are satisfied with the end result. This gives you the ability to print, email or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the Basic Access account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not completely satisfied!

CV on their website looks good, but I could not print it before payment, so I don't know if I like it. Also they don't leave you a choice of level of subscription, so you have only one way to pay

I assumed there were going to be some charges, but I do not like to be surprised at the end of how much it was. Still a good program, but pricing should be upfront.

Great platform
September 23, 2022

Great platform- not really upfront about paying, though. I would have happily paid for this service from the get go, but the way it was sneaked in, I would not use your service again.

Clean, seamless resume development

Clean, seamless resume development. First time a resume website actually convinced me to subscribe because of how quickly I could make up a resume with ease.

It was a lot easier than other sites. Worth the money spent using the service. The only thing having trouble editing the resume. How do I do that after it has been created.

The subscription process is weird
February 26, 2021

The subscription process is weird. It costs 24 dollars a month to. But as an individual use, how many times am I going to make a CV? Maybe a subscription process that allows one CV?

Editing limitations
May 19, 2022

It's hard to move to know if resume and cover letter formatting is cohesive. Also, I want to pick my own colors. Customization is almost non-existent. It's important!

Great service!
June 21, 2023

Great service! I didn't know it would cost $2.80 up front. I don't mind it - that's a decent rate for how pretty the resume is - but would be nice to know beforehand. All the same, great service!

I would love to be able to change certain things on the resume template to adapt to personal preferences (e.g., put a link to linkedin profile in the heading, rather than a whole section.

You SAY free... but then you make us sign up for month after month of resumes. Who needs resumes for 12 months? Just come out front and charge us $5 flat.

I do not like how you advertise that it is free, but do not allow this to be downloaded as a PDF without a MEMBERSHIP. I would have gladly paid a fee, but making me cancel a membership in order not to be charged next month as well, is disheartening.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and our apologies for any confusion. However, we do in fact, state everything up-front in order for our users to be aware of the products and services that we offer.

To clarify, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you a chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features; this account allows you to download a plain text version which you can copy-paste the text on to our free resume templates located here:

https://www.hloom.com/resume/templates

We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14 days to print, email or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.

Also, when you sign up for our 14-day trial, you’re automatically enrolled in our monthly subscription service, which we let you know at this stage that you may cancel at any time. Also, when we request your credit card information, we clearly explain that unless you self-cancel or request a cancellation before the end of your trial, you authorize us to charge your credit card every four weeks at the regular price of the subscription.

As for the refund policy, we do not process any refunds on recurring charges, as stated on our Terms and Conditions page. Our policy is as follows; we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the end result during the first 14 days once those days are up, we do not process any refunds.

For more information, please refer to our Terms and Conditions page: https://www.hloom.com/terms-and-conditions

We hope that this information helps clear things up; that being said, you can always contact our designated Customer Service Team, which can help you with anything related to your account or the services that we offer.

Nowhere on the website (where I was looking for FREE templates) does it say that in order to actually use the templates, you have to add your personal credit card information and pay an actual fee. I was simply looking for a free template, and was not looking to be baited and switched. I did not even need my resume to be built, let alone PAY FOR IT AFTER IT WAS FINISHED. You held my resume hostage for my credit card number with NO prior warning that this was the case, after spending enough time that I couldn't just start from scratch.

Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your thought with us!

To clarify, we are in fact free. For the benefit of our users, we offer a Basic Access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download a plain text version completely free. We also provide a Full Access account for a small fee that offers a 14-day trial period, this gives you the ability to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the Basic Access account.

This was a very easy process to create

This was a very easy process to create. The only drawback to this program is that you cannot purchase a single resume without it being a monthly subscription that I have to go back to cancel.
