Moving from Zety to ClearHire
Zety: A resume builder sold through a 14-day trial that renews every four weeks, with PDF, Word and TXT downloads on the paid tier. This page is the practical half: what carries across, in what order, and where it stops.
Who should stay, and who should move
Choose Zety if you want suggested wording for each section and a Word file is a must.
Choose ClearHire if you do not want a subscription that renews every four weeks, and you want a role a company has countersigned.
Steps
- Get your words out of Zety. Zety’s pages say it downloads a Word file, which is the easiest thing to copy from; its pages also list a PDF download.
- Sign in to ClearHire with Google. That is the only sign-in, and the quick start takes it from there.
- Type your roles into your profile, once. ClearHire has no importer, so this part is by hand. Create your profile lists the sections; every resume after this draws from them.
- Build the resume. Build your first resume covers the template and the sections.
- Ask each company to confirm the role. This is the step with no Zety equivalent to copy. Request employment verification says what the company sees and how long it has.
- Export and open the file. Export as PDF or DOCX has the troubleshooting.
- Keep your Zety account until that file opens properly. Then decide. Nothing here needs you to close it.

Where ClearHire falls short
- Only resumes leave in six formats. A resume exports as PDF, Word, JSON, HTML, Markdown or XML. Cover letters copy out as plain text, and a portfolio has no export.
- Free exports name us. A resume exported on Free carries one “built with” line. Paid plans remove it.
- There is no career path on your record. The roadmap and skills-gap pages are reading, not a plan kept for you.
- A company’s answer about a person stays private. Only that person and the company’s admins can read it.
FAQ
Can ClearHire import my Zety data?
No. ClearHire has no importer, so anything you bring across is typed in or pasted.
Do I have to pay to try this?
No. Free is a plan and it does not end. Paid plans raise the limits.
