01A resume written by someone who reads the portfolio
A resume written by someone who reads the portfolio.
Halftone rewrites resumes for candidates in the creative, marketing, design, advertising, and technology verticals — by the same recruiters who read your portfolio, sit in the interview, and calibrate the comp band. Not a parser. Not a template. Not a copy of the LinkedIn summary pasted back into a PDF.
This purchase is for the resume rewrite tier specifically — resume + LinkedIn rewrite, comp benchmark, two-week turnaround. For longer campaigns, use the intake form below. See pricing & packages →
Hosted checkout is plain Stripe; cancellations settle immediately, no email follow-up required.
02What's included
The same five-pass engagement, run by a recruiter who actually reads your work.
The deliverable is identical in shape across the two verticals; the writing shifts to the brief the role is hiring against.
For creative
Art direction · copy · brand · motionFor creative, marketing, design, and advertising candidates.
- A full resume rewrite — copy and structure — written by a creative director, not a parser.
- A scope narrative: your work reframed around the brief the hiring manager is actually writing, not the bullet they copied from your last job.
- LinkedIn rewrite calibrated for the way agencies and in-house brand teams actually search.
- Calibrated comp band drawn from our own placements in your vertical and market, not Glassdoor.
- A one-page positioning pass: how to talk about yourself in cover notes, intake calls, and the first interview.
For IT & technology
Engineering · platform · data · securityFor engineering, platform, data, and security candidates.
- A full resume rewrite — copy and structure — written by a recruiter who has shipped IC through director-level engineering hires.
- A scope narrative: how your platform, scale, scope, and ownership translate to the role on the brief, including the metrics that move an engineering committee.
- A stack-and-scale summary: languages, frameworks, throughput, on-call, reporting lines — written for the skim, not buried in parentheses.
- Negotiation framing: leverage, anchors, and the comp table we would take into the room, calibrated to your stage, market, and band.
- LinkedIn rewrite tuned for engineering leaders and recruiting partners — headline, about, and the experience bullets that survive the first seven-second read.
