2023
This Year Started Strong 💪
We ended 2022 on a high with this positive customer review from Jason:
“I’d like to give props to Rezi for helping me find my new role. Within one week of using this software, I had not only two interviews but two offers. Rezi is an AI resume writer, that specializes in tailoring your resume to align with the functions of recruiting Applicant tracking systems. One of the best $40 I’ve ever spent.”
Looking back at it now, perhaps receiving this feedback toward the end of 2022 was a sign that 2023 would be another great year for Rezi… which it was.
January 2023
In January, the first month, we saw a 527.7% increase in new customers compared to the previous year.
February 2023
The following month, in February, we were acknowledged by an industry leader in AI as one of the top 5 cover letter builders.
March 2023
We reached a significant company milestone: $1M ARR.
We Kept the Momentum Going…
The user count only continued to increase throughout the year. Will we see another spike in growth in 2024? 👀
