Every other recruiter in Australia still hands candidates a Word template from 2015. We built something better. It is free, it is live, and it is the only tool of its kind in the local recruitment market.
The state of play
Open any Australian recruitment site tomorrow morning. Hays, Robert Half, Robert Walters, Talent International, Peoplebank. Click "For Candidates". Click "CV Tips".
You will find:
- A static Word template you download and fill in
- A blog post from 2019 about "using strong action verbs"
- A PDF that looks like a tax form
That is the sum total of candidate tooling offered by every major recruitment agency in Australia in 2026. We checked.
Meanwhile, standalone AI resume builders like Resume.io and Zety charge you around 60 dollars a year to generate a CV that nobody in recruitment actually sees. You get a pretty template. They get a subscription. Your CV still lands in the same job board inbox as everyone else's.
We decided this was a bad deal for candidates. So we built a better one.
What we built
Go to 37talent.com.au/resume-generator.
In about 60 seconds you can:
- Upload your existing CV in PDF, Word or text. We extract the content and improve it.
- Or paste your work history as rough bullet points. Our AI rewrites every line with stronger verbs and measurable outcomes.
- See the result render live in a premium editorial design with a cream sidebar, your photo, and a clean experience timeline.
- Edit any text inline. Reorder roles with arrow buttons. Page break guides update in real time so you know exactly where the print version will split.
- Download as A4 PDF, ready to send.
You control whether it carries 37Talent branding or not. Default is unbranded. It is your CV. You own the output.
Why it is different
Three things make this different from anything else in the market.
1. It is free, and it is actually good
Not a stripped-back free tier with a watermark that forces you to pay. The full tool. No credit card. No trial. No upsell.
2. It is built by recruiters, not SaaS marketers
Every bullet rewrite is scaffolded by an instruction set we wrote based on what actually gets candidates interviews. Not generic "add a verb". Specific rules. Lead with the outcome. Include a number. Kill the fluff. Remove "hard-working team player". Make wrong-fit applicants self-select out.
3. It is tied to live roles
When you use a standalone tool, you finish with a PDF and no plan. When you use ours, you land on a platform that has jobs. We specialise in media, tech, SaaS, advertising, data and marketing recruitment. If your profile matches what we are working on right now, we will tell you.
What the competitive landscape actually looks like

"Hays won't build this. Not because it is hard. Because they are old-school. That gap is our opportunity."
What this says about us
We are a specialist recruiter. We are small. We do not have the brand recognition or the budget of the big four.
But we have taste, and we have the engineering chops to build tools that our bigger competitors do not. This is one of them. There will be more.
If you are a candidate in media, tech, SaaS, advertising, data or marketing, try it. Send us feedback. Tell us what we got wrong.
If you are a hiring manager looking at this thinking "my current recruiter has not built anything like this in the decade I have worked with them", that is worth paying attention to.
