WP CV Builder is a WordPress
CV builder and resume builder for creating a self-service resume website, career portal, or CV SaaS platform. Users can register, build and manage multiple CVs from the front end, while administrators control templates, subscriptions, employers, jobs, applications, reviews, emails, and downloads.
The plugin combines a Gutenberg resume builder with responsive CV templates, WooCommerce payments, a searchable job board, employer tools, multilingual support, and mobile-friendly dashboards.
