For candidates

An honest read on your resume before a recruiter gives it eight seconds

A recruiter's first pass over a resume is fast and mostly unkind. Anything ambiguous is not puzzled over; it is skipped. Most candidates never find this out, because the feedback loop on a rejected application is silence.

The resume score is an attempt to give you that missing feedback: what lands, what is too vague to count, and what a reader will pass over — with specific changes rather than advice about using strong action verbs.

What you get

Structured, not impressionistic

Assessed against consistent criteria so the result means the same thing each time you run it.

Vague claims flagged

"Worked on backend systems" is not evidence. The score identifies which lines are doing no work.

Specific rewrites

Pointed at your actual content rather than generic resume advice you could have found anywhere.

Re-runnable

Fix and re-score, so you can see whether a change actually improved anything.

Questions we get asked

What does it cost?

One credit per score.

Should I use this or the ATS check?

The resume score if you are improving your resume generally; the ATS check if you have a specific job description in hand. They answer different questions.

Can you just fix it for me?

Yes — that is Resume Fix, which rewrites your existing resume, or Resume Builder if you would rather start fresh from a form.
