Right now, uploaded resumes are automatically renamed to follow the standard "firstname_lastname_resume.pdf" format to ensure they’re parsed correctly by applicant tracking systems (ATSs). It’s an industry-wide convention and helps with file compatibility across different job portals.
That said, for resumes created using our Resume Builder, you can rename the file to help keep things organized. Just head to the Documents page and click the rename icon next to the generated resume.
That being said, giving users more flexibility with naming uploaded files is something we're actively looking into — definitely hear you on this.
