Laddro
Built for universities

Your students deserve better than a Word template.

Laddro gives every student a guided resume builder that asks the right questions, suggests what to write, and produces a professional CV in minutes. No workshops needed.

Career services are stretched thin

NACE reports a median student-to-staff ratio of 1,889:1 in career centers — nearly four times the recommended 500:1 for personalized support. Your team reviews hundreds of resumes every semester with a median staff of just 7 FTEs.

Workshops help, but attendance is low and students forget the advice by the time they actually sit down to write. Meanwhile, 97% of students who find jobs report they did not use their university career services at all.

  • Students do not know what to include on their first resume
  • Career advisors spend too much time on formatting instead of coaching
  • Generic templates produce generic resumes that all look the same
  • International students need help in multiple languages

With 87% of a median €504,000 career center budget going to personnel costs, your team deserves tools that handle the repetitive work so they can focus on what they do best.

A resume builder designed for students

Laddro asks students simple questions about their education, projects, and skills, then builds a professional resume from their answers. No prior experience needed.

  • Guided flow

    Students answer one question at a time. No blank page, no overwhelm.

  • Smart suggestions

    Every field has AI-powered suggestions with real examples based on their study field.

  • 14 languages

    International students write their resume in their target language natively.

  • ATS-friendly templates

    30+ professional designs that pass automated screening systems.

  • Cover letters included

    Students generate tailored cover letters for each application.

  • No training required

    The tool is self-service. Students can use it independently.

How universities use Laddro

From career fairs to alumni services — here is how universities get the most out of Laddro.

Career center self-service

Students use Laddro before their 1-on-1 appointment and arrive with a professional resume draft instead of a blank page. Your advisors can focus the session on real career advice instead of formatting basics.

Curriculum integration

Embed resume building into employability modules, final-year courses, or career readiness programs. Students complete their resume as a graded assignment and leave the course with a real deliverable they can use immediately.

International student support

International students write their resume in any of 14 European languages with localized formatting. Laddro handles language-specific conventions natively, giving your team more bandwidth for one-on-one guidance.

More time for what matters

Laddro handles the resume building so your career advisors can spend their time on coaching, employer relations, and career strategy.

What people say

I had a really good experience with Laddro. The templates are clean, clear, and easy to use. The whole process was simple and smooth, and the pricing is also good. It really helped me during my job search, and it helped me get my first interview.

Great app, has everything you need for the resume creation. The existing resume import function saved me a lot of time on typing everything again but I would appreciate template sorting by design category (classic, minimalist etc)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost for the university?

The guided builder is free for all students. We offer institutional plans with premium features and analytics. Contact us for pricing based on your student population.

Do students need an account?

They can start without one. We recommend accounts so they can save, edit, and come back to tailor for different applications.

Can we customize the builder for our university?

Yes. We can configure the builder with your branding and preferred templates.

What languages are supported?

English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic, and Estonian.

How does this compare to existing career center software?

Most career center platforms focus on job boards and appointment scheduling. Laddro focuses specifically on resume creation — the part where students need the most hands-on help but career centers have the least bandwidth.

Can students use it after graduation?

Yes. Accounts are permanent. Alumni can update their resume, tailor it for new applications, and generate cover letters long after leaving university.
