Your portfolio sells the craft. Your resume sells the outcomes.
Designers live in Figma, not in Word. That is the problem. The resume ends up as an afterthought, gets rejected by the screening software, and never reaches the hiring manager who would have loved your case studies.
What keeps resumes from converting
Your Figma resume breaks in resume scanners
Custom layouts with two columns and icons often lose 30 to 40 percent of the content when the screener reads them. Recruiters see gaps you did not create.
You focus on process, not impact
'Led discovery, ran workshops, designed prototypes' reads as activity. 'Lifted activation by 22% by redesigning onboarding' reads as signal.
Writing for recruiters, not designers
The person reading first isn't a design manager. They need to see the business outcome and the stack before they call you.
What CVHive does for you
Typography-first templates
Clean, opinionated templates that look design-literate without breaking resume scanners. No Figma export gymnastics.
Outcome-framed bullets
The editor prompts you to pair each design with the business or product number it moved.
Project links, done right
Case study URLs, Figma community links, Dribbble. Added as scanner-safe text links recruiters can click.
Cover letter in one click
Generate a matching cover letter that references both the resume and the job post. Edit it in seconds.
Template: Serif
Warm, editorial feel that signals design sense without giving up scanner compatibility. Plays well with both Figma-style case studies and plain text.
Keywords that move the score
These are the kinds of signals we look for when grading your resume against a job post. Paste a real job description into the editor to get the exact list for that role.
