Pretty work gets attention. Structured facts get shortlisted. You need both on one shareable link.
Designed portfolios often bury education, skills, and contact under animation. ATS-minded readers bounce.
This guide is for candidates designing for how recruiters actually read who want a site that feels intentional — not another generic template dump.
The real problem
Hire Me isn’t a second portfolio. It’s the résumé that never gets lost in email threads.
Do this next
- Keep education, skills, and contact scannable on Hire Me
- Link Hire Me from your designed home so recruiters choose their path
- Print-test the page once — if it looks chaotic on paper, simplify
Design for the skim
Assume ten seconds. If education, skills, and contact aren’t obvious, a busy recruiter won’t hunt. Pair a designed home with a Hire Me page that prints cleanly.
How a website helps you stand out
Recruiters skim for risk reduction: clarity, credibility, and an easy next step. Design for that skim.
On BEXO, that path is simple: discover on mybexo.com, create on dash.mybexo.com, share on yourname.atbexo.com. Premium templates and a Hire Me page give you agency-grade presentation without becoming a full-time webmaster.
