THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR RESUME

Meet our writers

Every resume we write is crafted by a Certified Professional Resume Writer who has lived the hiring side of the table. Real people, real credentials, real conversations.

FOUNDER & LEAD STRATEGIST

Susan Maplethorpe, CPRW

Susan is a Certified Professional Resume Writer and the founder of Hired Resume. Since establishing the firm in 2011, she has dedicated her career to helping professionals navigate the competitive job market — transforming standard resumes into high-impact marketing tools.

Susan’s “insider perspective” comes from her diverse background as an Executive Recruiter, Placement Specialist, and Job Coach. She knows what recruiters and hiring managers actually look for, because she’s been the one doing the hiring.

Hundreds of individuals have secured interviews within two weeks of receiving their updated resumes. Under Susan’s leadership, Hired Resume has grown into the top-rated firm headquartered in Minneapolis, serving clients nationwide.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST & MARKETING CONSULTANT

Nolan D

Nolan is a career development specialist and marketing consultant with over seven years of experience helping professionals stand out in competitive job markets. He’s crafted more than 3,500 resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles across 30+ industries.

At Hired Resume, Nolan specializes in ATS-optimization strategies that get his clients’ applications to the top of recruiter searches. His consultative approach — built on thoughtful collaboration, attentive listening, and storytelling — helps clients uncover their unique strengths and position themselves with clarity and confidence.

Currently pursuing his CPRW certification, Nolan continues to sharpen his craft. When he’s not writing interview-winning career documents, you’ll find him in a high-intensity workout or buried in a Vonnegut or Pratchett novel.

RESUME WRITER & CAREER COACH

Renée R, Ed.D.

As a resume writer and career coach for HRS, Renée brings decades of corporate leadership to every client engagement. For many years, she enjoyed roles as a Manager and Director in corporate America for a Fortune 500 company, gaining valuable experience in building and leading teams, managing resources, and collaborating with clients globally.

Renée’s Ed.D. in education and her decades of corporate leadership give her a unique ability to translate complex career stories into compelling, recruiter-ready resumes.
