The first resume built for the agent economy
Hiring is quietly going agent-to-agent. Recruiters are pointing AI assistants at inboxes; job seekers are pointing agents back at postings. In the middle sits a resume that was designed to be printed — a PDF an agent has to screenshot and guess at, the same lossy step an applicant tracking system takes, where good candidates get dropped. Your resume should be a consent-shared, verification-aware, machine-readable profile instead.
Why a PDF is the wrong format now
A PDF is a picture of your resume. For a human reader that's fine. For a machine it's a problem: the fields — your name, roles, dates, bullets, skills — have to be reconstructed from pixels or a messy text layer, and the reconstruction is where information is lost. That's exactly how an ATS mangles a well-written resume today, and it's the same failure an AI agent inherits when you hand it a file.
As more of the first pass is done by software — agents triaging applications, assistants shortlisting candidates, tools matching people to roles — the format that wins is the one a machine can read without guessing. Not a prettier PDF. Structured data, shared with consent.
What an agent-readable resume is
Consent-shared
Off by default. You opt in from the builder, the link is a random token, and you can revoke it any time — which cuts off access instantly. It stays out of search engines.
Verification-aware
Rendered against the applicant tracking system a given employer actually uses, drawn from a dataset of 743 employers (713 portal-verified). The agent reads a version already shaped for that ATS.
Machine-readable
Structured fields on the open JSON Resume standard — not a PDF an agent has to screenshot and guess at. Any tool that speaks that schema can read it directly.
The structure follows the open JSON Resume standard — a community schema for resumes as data — so this isn't a proprietary lock-in. Any agent or tool that understands that standard can read a resume you share. The per-ATS rendering draws on the same portal-verified dataset behind our State of ATS 2026 report and its free API and MCP server.
How it works
- 1
Build your resume free
Use the builder — no signup to start. Your content is saved as structured data from the first keystroke, not baked into a flat file.
- 2
Opt in to an agent link
From the builder, choose "make this resume agent-readable." We mint a private, tokenized endpoint that returns your resume as structured JSON.
- 3
Hand the link to agents you trust
Give the link to an AI agent, a recruiter's assistant, or a job-search tool. It fetches your real fields — no parsing gamble, no lossy screenshot step.
- 4
Revoke whenever you want
Change your mind and the link stops working immediately. You stay in control of who can read your record, for as long as you want them to.
Your record, on your terms
Sharing is off until you turn it on. When you opt in, the link is a random token — not a guessable URL — and it's set to noindex so it never shows up in search. You decide which agents get it, and revoking access is one click and takes effect immediately. No data broker, no resale, no background scraping — an agent reads your resume only because you handed it the key, and only until you take the key back.
Questions
What is an agent-readable resume?
It's your resume exposed as structured, machine-readable data at a private link, so an AI agent you authorize can fetch it directly instead of parsing a PDF. The data follows the open JSON Resume schema, so any tool that understands that standard can read it. The link is unlisted, kept out of search engines, and revocable at any time.
How is this different from just sending a PDF?
A PDF is a picture of your resume. An agent has to OCR or screenshot it, then guess at the structure — the same lossy step an applicant tracking system takes, which is where good candidates get dropped. An agent-readable resume hands over the fields directly: name, roles, dates, bullets, skills. No parsing gamble.
Is my personal information safe?
Sharing is off by default. Nothing is exposed until you opt in from the builder, and when you do, the link is a random token — not a guessable URL — and is set to noindex so search engines don't list it. You can revoke access at any time, which makes the link stop working immediately. You choose which agents you hand the link to.
What does "rendered per-ATS from verified data" mean?
We maintain a dataset of 743 large employers mapped to the applicant tracking system each one uses, 713 of them verified against the company's live careers portal (June 2026). When an agent fetches your resume for a specific employer, we can render it against that ATS's known parsing rules — so the version it reads is already shaped for the system on the other side.
Do I have to pay to make my resume agent-readable?
No. Building a resume is free, and the agent-readable opt-in is part of the builder. Downloading a clean, watermark-free file is the paid step — but exposing your resume as structured data to an agent you authorize is not gated.
Build a resume an agent can read
Start free — no signup to begin. Build it once as structured data, then decide, later, whether to make it agent-readable.
