No. Start building immediately. An account is only needed if you want to save your CV and access it later from another device.

Will my CV pass ATS systems?

All our templates are tested against major ATS systems including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and iCIMS. Our ATS score engine checks 7 dimensions of ATS compatibility in real time so you can see exactly what to fix.

What file formats can I export?

PDF (all users) and a shareable live link (all users). DOCX export is available today and rendering is prioritized for Pro users.

How does the AI work?

How to Write a Resume for Remote Jobs in 2026

Remote-friendly CVs need different signals from in-office ones. Here's what hiring managers at distributed companies actually scan for in 2026.

Remote hiring is different. The companies that hire remotely have been burned enough that they've developed a specific filter. Your CV either passes or it doesn't.

Signal 1: prior remote experience, named

> Senior Product Manager — Acme (remote, distributed across 6 time zones), 2022–2024

Signal 2: written communication, demonstrated

Distributed companies live in writing. Show:

Documents you authored
Decisions you ran async
Public writing

Signal 3: outcomes, not hours

> *Owned the migration to Postgres 16 across 14 services — shipped on time across a 5-time-zone team with zero downtime.*

"Across a 5-time-zone team" is the load-bearing phrase.

Signal 4: tooling fluency

Notion, Linear, GitHub, Vercel
Slack (with named workflows)
Loom for async video
Figma for collaborative design

Signal 5: a working timezone in the header

> Berlin, Germany (CET, comfortable working ±5 hours)

What to leave out

❌ "Looking for remote opportunities" — they know.
❌ "Self-starter".
❌ Mentioning your home office setup.

TL;DR

Name prior remote roles as remote, on the line.
Show written work and async decisions.
Lead with outcomes that didn't depend on supervision.
Drop the timezone in the header.
