Mission
A career profile that puts real work first
LinkedIn is great for networking and company updates—but it often buries what really matters: the actual work you do. At Essum, we believe professionals deserve a space where their projects, creative process, and skills shine through—clear, distraction-free, and meaningful.
Career stories, not corporate profiles
Why limit yourself to job titles and company buzzwords? Essum is built to be more dynamic, personal, and expressive than a static resume or cluttered feed. Here, you can share your journey—show the how, not just the what.
Clean, human-first design
No jargon, no fluff—your profile is structured, readable, and built with hiring managers in mind. Collaborators have called Essum one of the few resume platforms that both look great and stay easy to read.
Learn, reflect, share
Essum doesn't stop at listing your experience. Think of it as your career journal—write lessons, document process, and post updates. Everything you share lives together: your resume, your ideas, your story.
Always up-to-date, always you
Your work evolves—and so should your profile. Essum's markdown editor and clean interface ensure your narrative grows with you, effortlessly. Plus, there's no clutter or ads pulling attention away from what matters.
Built for connection—and for hiring managers
Essum is built for professionals and the people who hire them. It's simple by design, with structured resume templates and optional analytics and PDF export for those who take things up a notch.
