Who it's for
If a résumé bot keeps ghosting you, this is for you.
Most resume tools are built for people the system already likes. Resume Bot Buster was built for the rest of us — the ones with non-linear paths, big gaps, and skills earned the hard way.
Stay-at-home caregivers
Time at home raising kids or caring for family is real work. We help you frame it the way recruiters' systems will actually count.
Self-taught & on-the-job pros
No four-year degree? No problem. We translate your decade of doing the work into the keywords every ATS is hunting for.
Career changers & returners
Switching fields or coming back after a gap? We surface the transferable skills hiring software is currently ignoring.
The hiring system is broken. Here's the proof.
ATS systems weren't built to find the best candidate — they were built to reduce volume. The collateral damage is millions of qualified people who never get a callback.
of resumes rejected by ATS before a human reads them
of employers say qualified candidates get filtered out
fewer callbacks for older applicants with equal qualifications
fewer positive responses for ethnic-minority applicants

Who's behind this
“I watched good people — caregivers coming back to work, self-taught pros, career changers — get filtered out by software before a human ever saw them. The rejection wasn't about their ability; it was about formatting and keywords nobody told them mattered. I built Resume Bot Buster so anyone can see exactly what the bots see, and fix it in minutes instead of guessing for months.”
Cole Goebel — Co-Founder, Resume Bot Buster
“As a single mom re-entering the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom, I found significant barriers to employment based on the lack of recent employment history. Regardless of skills, people are overlooked, and Resume Bot Buster exists to fix that problem — so your ability matters more than a gap on a resume.”
Shannon Perry — Co-Founder, Resume Bot Buster
