How we write
Editorial policy
How the guides, resume examples and comparisons on Ruubu are written, checked and corrected. The same rules apply in every language we publish in.
Last updated: · Written and maintained by the Ruubu Editorial Team.
What this policy covers
This policy covers the career guides on our blog, the resume examples, the template pages, and the comparison pages, cancellation guides and best-of lists under Compare. They are published under one byline, the Ruubu Editorial Team: the people who build Ruubu. We are not recruiters or certified career coaches, and we do not present ourselves as either.
Ruubu is our product, and our pages recommend it where it fits. We say so on the pages where it matters, and we never let that change a fact about another product.
Sources and dates
- Every factual claim about another company, a law, a hiring practice or a statistic links to a primary source: the organization's own page, the law itself, or the original study.
- We record the date we checked each source and show it on the page. A claim we cannot source is removed, not softened.
- We do not publish invented statistics, survey results, quotes, testimonials, salaries or hiring outcomes.
- Numbers about Ruubu (checks, templates, prices, refund window) come from the product itself, so a page cannot drift from what you will see when you sign up.
How comparisons are checked
Facts about other resume tools (price, billing period, trial terms, refund window, free features, what each plan includes) are checked on the competitor's own public pages: its pricing page, help center, terms or checkout. Each fact links to that page under Sources, with the date it was checked.
Every comparison has a section on where the other product is stronger. We do not rate competitors, add star ratings or review markup about them, or use their logos. We are not affiliated with the companies we compare, and no one pays to appear in a comparison or a list.
Prices and plans change. If a page shows an older check date, the competitor's own page is the final word, and we update ours when we re-check.
How we use AI
Some drafts start with an AI model. A draft has to follow the rules on this page, and it is checked automatically for structure, broken links and claims we do not allow (such as invented numbers or guarantees).
A person on the team then reads it, checks the facts and the sources, edits it and decides whether to publish it. AI-assisted drafts are saved as drafts, not published straight away. This has been our process since October 2026; older articles published before then are being re-reviewed, and we update or remove any that don't meet this standard.
When a guide explains what the resume checker or another Ruubu tool does, the details come from the product, not from the model.
Resume examples and placeholder identities
The sample resumes on our example pages are illustrations, not real people. Names are made up, and contact details use reserved formats that cannot reach anyone: email addresses at example.com, phone numbers in the fictional 555-01xx range, and profile links such as linkedin.com/in/your-name.
Figures inside a sample resume (sales growth, team size, budgets) are there to show the format, not to describe a real career. The advice around each example, such as keywords, common mistakes and summary variants, is written for that role and reviewed like a guide.
Reviews and updates
- Guides and resume examples show the date they were last updated. We update them when the advice changes, when the product changes, or when a reader points out a mistake.
- We aim to re-check comparison facts at least every three months, and always before we change a comparison page. A check date moves only when we have actually re-checked the source.
- Small fixes such as typos do not change the date. A change to the substance does.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, email support@ruubu.com with the page address and what is wrong. We read every message, fix confirmed errors and update the page date. You can also use the contact page.
Companies we compare can ask for a correction the same way. We change a fact about a product when its own public pages show something different.
