TL;DR: Rezi is popular for their content-focused approach, prioritizing simple, ATS-compatible templates and AI-assisted generation of resume content perfectly tailored to the job you’re applying for. Enhancv, on the other hand, is known for their customizable resumes and beautiful designs to make your application stand out while feeling 100% yours.
Rezi and Enhancv are two resume builders that can help you write a resume quickly and boost your chances of getting past the initial screening. Which one is better for you will depend on your unique needs.
This comparison guide will help you decide. We’ll walk you through all the key features, benefits, and limitations of Rezi and Enhancv so that you’re sure of what to expect and can make an informed decision.
Full disclosure: we're the team behind Rezi, so naturally, we’re confident that our product can help you land a new job faster. But we’re also experts in career development, job hunting, and recruitment, so we know good resume software when we see it. While we might have our own biases, we always stick to the facts and give credit where it’s due to provide you with the best possible advice.
Rezi Resume Builder Overview
We’ll start with our own resume builder, Rezi. Powered by advanced AI, Rezi automates the entire process of writing and optimizing your resume for applicant tracking systems (ATS).
The main differentiator: Rezi prioritizes ATS-compatibility—because the worst thing that can happen to your resume is that it doesn’t pass the automated ATS scan. To avoid that scenario, Rezi offers simple and elegant templates that can be 100% parsed by any resume-tracking software, even if it’s a bit dated. But beating ATS doesn’t just boil down to proper resume design. You also need relevant resume keywords that signal you’re a strong fit. That’s why Rezi uses AI to ensure your resume aligns with the keywords used in your target job descriptions, maximizing your chances of getting past the initial screening and landing an interview.
But it doesn’t stop there.
With Rezi, you’ll get a resume that captivates human readers just as effectively as it bypasses the bots. The AI writer (more on that in a second) generates content that’s tailored to your industry, experience, and unique career circumstances. You’ll get suggestions for all resume sections to make your resume sound professional but still maintain that personal touch.
Overview of Rezi Features
AI resume writer
With the AI hype train speeding through every possible industry, it’s no surprise that more resume builders are beginning to integrate an “AI writer feature” of some sorts.
So how are we different? Well, we were one of the first to do it, even before the official launch of ChatGPT-3. That’s why our language models are trained specifically as “resume writers,” and not just mere “AI writing assistants.”
Rezi’s AI resume writer goes beyond simple suggestions. It can generate job-specific bullet points from scratch, tailored to your professional background and the company’s job description.
Enhancv also offers an AI writing assistant tool, though we do things a bit differently by going a step further to generate bullet points that feel like they genuinely come from you and not just for the target job position. How this works is, during the resume-building process, Rezi will ask the user to share a few details about the job they’re applying for:
- Job field and profession
- Experience level
- Company job description
The AI resume writer then analyzes this information, which influences its output. This targeted process allows Rezi’s AI writer to generate bullet points closely related to your background.
AI resume summary writer
Capturing your strengths and aligning them with the job description in a concise paragraph can be a time-consuming loop of editing and rewriting. The Rezi AI Resume Summary Generator simplifies this process.
Inside our resume builder, Rezi suggests writing the summary last (after you’ve completed the rest of your resume), as it’s easier once you have the full context of your application. More importantly, this allows the AI summary writer to use the information you’ve already supplied to generate a powerful summary that aligns with your work history.
Best of all, you can select the specific job title and skills that you want to highlight for a truly customized resume summary.
AI resume editor
The Rezi AI Bullet Point Editor is a powerful tool designed to refine your resume with ease. You can use it to either rewrite a resume sentence OR complete an incomplete resume sentence.
To be specific, this feature refines your writing by:
- Replacing any weak verbs or odd phrasing with stronger action verbs and clearer language to emphasize your impact.
- Clarifying your responsibilities and achievements.
- Tailoring your language to ensure it’s clear and relevant.
So anytime you feel stuck or iffy about a particular sentence, simply highlight it and use Rezi AI Bullet Point Editor to refine it in seconds!
Resume keywords scanner
This is a feature that’s become more popular amongst resume builders over the years. After all, most companies use hiring software to narrow down the list of applications, which is why it’s crucial to use keywords from the job description and show that you match the company’s requirements.
With Rezi AI Keyword Targeting, simply copy and paste the job description and then the tool will reveal the top keywords that the company’s ATS is looking for. You’ll also be able to see what keywords you have and haven’t already included.
Real-time content analysis
A resume checker (or content analysis) tool helps you make sure that your resume meets hiring standards. This Rezi feature will analyze your resume in real time so that you know where there are areas for improvement or mistakes like spelling errors. You’ll also get to see whether your resume has been tailored for a specific job description.
Similarly, Enhancv has an “Improve Text” feature where you can see if your resume has any mistakes or errors and allows you to check your resume against a job description.
However, with Rezi, you won’t only see suggestions as you’re writing your resume, but also at the end when you reach the “finish up & preview” tab inside Rezi’s resume builder. Here, you’ll receive a resume score out of 100 based on 23 key criteria.
You’ll then receive feedback across the following categories:
- Content
- Format
- Optimization
- Best Practices
- Application Ready
Content-focused resume templates
Another big difference between Rezi and Enhancv is the resume template designs. When it comes to design, Rezi is a lot more minimal.
Rezi prioritizes readability and professionalism. After all, what ultimately lands you interviews is a professional resume that’s well-written. It should highlight your skills and experience in a way that aligns with the company’s job description.
All Rezi resume templates are built for you to showcase your work history in a professional light that meets almost all hiring standards, no matter the industry. That’s also why they’re optimized for space-efficiency, so you can fit more details into your resume without sacrificing formatting and readability.
In comparison, Enhancv might feel a bit more limiting, especially when you need to add more bullet points without going over one page. However, their creative design elements will help your resume pop from a visual perspective. To some employers, a resume created with Enhancv can make an impression because of how unique and creative some of their resume designs are.
Intuitive user design
Completing your resume with Rezi is straightforward because you’re guided through each section step by step. You’ll find designated fields to fill in with outlined content examples to help you know what to write. If you’re stuck trying to describe relevant experience or projects, our AI writer (as discussed earlier) can provide suggestions.
Here are examples of how it looks inside Rezi’s resume builder when completing the contact, projects, and work experience sections:
As you reach the “finish up & preview” stage, you’ll see a complete overview of your resume with all the professional formatting already in place. If you want to adjust the design to suit your preferences, you can tweak all the styling elements. The layout stays on autopilot and will always look perfect.
In contrast, Enhancv may require more effort from the user, as it relies on you to take the initiative in building your resume. The variety of choices can also feel a bit distracting when trying to focus on the actual writing.
While Enhancv provides numerous design features, it may be less intuitive for users who need more guidance in writing resume content.
Enhancv does take a little getting used to, but once you’re familiar with the tool, the initial feeling of being overwhelmed can shift to having more flexibility to build and design your resume.
Rezi’s user interface emphasizes a structured approach, step-by-step guidance, and well-written content. This approach allows users to focus on building their resume one step at a time to ensure clear and compelling writing, which we believe is the most important factor of a job-winning resume.

What People Say About Rezi
“My current employer was so impressed with my resume and said that they had not seen this caliber of a resume with any of the other candidates. What stood out to them was both the structure and the content itself. Rezi helped me craft a very compelling resume that had quantifiable numbers the employers were looking for and the soft skills that were emphasized in the job description.
The best part about Rezi is that while there is a structure built in, I was also able to customize the format and resume to be tailored to the position I was applying for.”
– Ryann G.
“Rezi is amazing to use and very much user-friendly. The AI functionality is top-notch and will be the difference maker, bringing so much value add to your resume. I highly recommend :)”
– Sugar R.

Enhancv Resume Builder Overview
Enhancv is known for its resume template designs and customization flexibility. Additionally, Enhancv offers AI tools to assist in writing and checking your resume against applicant tracking systems.
The main differentiator: Users can create visually appealing resumes thanks to the extensive formatting and graphic design options available on Enhancv.
Many of Enhancv’s resumes take a more bold and modern approach, offering creative designs that stand out from traditional standards. This makes their resumes visually striking and distinctive.
Overview of Enhancv Features
AI writing assistant
Enhancv can help you write and improve your resume, but not draft it from scratch. Its AI writing assistant works once you’ve provided enough information on your resume.
But if you have enough resume content, Enhancv’s AI writing assistant can help you:
- Create a tailored summary
- Highlight your strengths
- Highlight your achievements
- Create suggestions for new bullet points
- Rewrite bullet points to show impact
- Create a resume title or headline
As an example, I’ll ask it to create a tailored summary:
The nice thing about Enhancv’s AI writing assistant is that it asks you to provide a job description so that the content it generates is relevant.
Anyway, here’s how the two AI suggestions turned out:
While the generated summary exceeded 3–4 sentences (which is the standard length of resume summaries), it still provided a relevant overview for the specified job description. Hence, this feature can be pretty useful for refining or improving your summary.
Another capability is generating new suggestions for bullet points, either specific or broader:
Additionally, you can use Enhancv’s AI writing assistant to rewrite bullet points:
Enhancv’s AI writing assistant can help improve your resume by offering suggestions. However, the AI-generated content often feels generic, lacking the nuanced touch of personalized writing.
The tone of the Enhancv’s AI-generated content immediately gives off “AI-written” vibes, and the suggestions may not always follow the best resume writing best practices (as shown earlier from the AI-generated resume summaries).
Considering Enhancv’s AI feature is relatively new, introduced amid the rising popularity of ChatGPT, it’s understandable that it might lag behind more established AI writing tools.
Resume design flexibility
This is clearly Enhancv’s biggest strength. Their tool boasts a collection of eye-catching resume templates featuring colors, graphs, and charts. This translates to high creative freedom for users who want their resumes to stand out visually.
Here are a few examples of some of Enhancv’s resume templates:
The emphasis on design can initially feel overwhelming for some users. And while aesthetically pleasing, Enhancv's designs might restrict the amount of content you can include.
In contrast, Rezi prioritizes space efficiency and ATS compatibility with a simple, professional design that looks and feels modern.
To illustrate the differences, here are some examples of Rezi’s resume templates:
As you can see, Enhancv’s resumes are more design-heavy, while Rezi’s are more text-heavy and content-focused to make sure all essential details get included.
Unique resume sections
Enhancv goes beyond design flexibility with unique resume sections. Here are some examples:
Having a unique section allows you to not only showcase specific skills, but also your personality and unique experiences outside the traditional format. This can be a great way to make your resume stand out, especially in creative fields.
Not many resume builders offer such customization.
While Rezi adheres more to corporate standards to ensure your resume is easily readable by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Enhancv allows you to build more innovatively and take a more personalized and creative approach to resume building.
“Improve Text” feature
This feature is similar to Rezi’s real-time content analysis. As the name suggests, it helps you improve your resume content as you write by providing:
- Tailored suggestions
- Spellcheck and grammar issues
- Wording and readability level
- Recommendations
In other words, this gives you live feedback to help guide you when building a resume. However, full access to this feature requires a paid subscription.
ATS checker
Enhancv’s “ATS Check” feature offers a quick way to assess how well your resume aligns with a job description. Simply copy and paste the target job opening into the provided field and wait for the feedback.
This is also similar to Rezi’s resume score and content analysis feature. It gives you a percentage out of 100 and checks your resume for 16 key details across the following areas:
- Content
- Format
- Skills suggestions
- Resume sections
- Style
The free plan displays a percentage. Upgrading to a paid plan unlocks all suggestions for optimizing your resume to match specific keywords and requirements.
