How it’s scored
Every point is shown here, so you can see why your resume scored what it did. Keywords count once each: repeating a word doesn’t add points.
| Section | Points | What earns them |
|---|---|---|
| Contact | 10 | Email 4 · phone number (any country) 3 · LinkedIn, GitHub or website link 3 |
| Sections | 15 | Headings on their own line: Summary or Profile 3 · Experience 4 · Education 3 · Skills 3 · Projects, Certifications or Awards 2 |
| Impact | 30 | Action verbs (2 each, up to 12) · lines with a measurable result such as a %, an amount or a team size (3 each, up to 12) · at least one date range like “Mar 2021 – Present” 6 |
| Keywords | 30 | Keywords from the job ad, or your role profile, or a general list (up to 22) · soft skills (1 each, up to 4) · business terms such as budget or revenue (1 each, up to 4) |
| Education | 10 | A degree or qualification term 7 · honours, a GPA or a certification 3 |
| Length | 5 | 350–1,000 words 5 · 200–349 or 1,001–1,400 words 3 |
| Red flags | up to −10 | −2 for each phrase such as “responsible for” or “references available upon request” · −2 if “I”, “me” or “my” appear more than 5 times |
Ratings: under 40 Needs work · 40–59 Fair · 60–79 Good · 80–89 Strong · 90+ Excellent.
What this tool is and isn’t
This is a keyword and structure check that runs in your browser. It is not an applicant tracking system (ATS) and can’t predict how a particular employer’s software will rank you. Real ATS tools read your file (PDF or Word) and each employer sets them up differently. Use this to find gaps, then tailor your resume to each job.
It can’t judge whether your experience fits the role, check your layout, or spot typos. For shorter, clearer bullet points, try the Text Readability Checker; to keep your resume to one or two pages, use the Word Counter.
Questions
Is this an ATS score?
No. This is a keyword and structure check that runs in your browser. It is not an applicant tracking system (ATS) and can’t predict how a particular employer’s software will rank you. Use it to find gaps, then tailor your resume to each job.
How is the score calculated?
Out of 100: Contact 10, Sections 15, Impact 30, Keywords 30, Education 10 and Length 5, minus up to 10 for red-flag phrases. The full rules are in “How it’s scored” on this page, so you can see exactly where each point comes from.
Why paste the job ad?
Because every job asks for different things. With a job ad of at least 200 characters, we pull its key terms and show which ones your resume mentions and which it’s missing. Without one, we use the role profile you picked.
Is my resume uploaded or stored?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser. Your resume and the job ad aren’t sent anywhere, aren’t saved, and never go into a link. Only the keyword lists are downloaded, the same for everyone.
Does formatting matter?
This tool reads plain text, so it doesn’t check layout. Simple formatting still helps: clear headings, one column and standard fonts make a resume easier for software and people to read.
What’s a good score?
60 to 79 is Good, 80 to 89 Strong and 90 or more Excellent. A score is a guide to what to improve, not a prediction of interviews: a tailored resume with the right keywords for the job matters more than the number.
Does it work for a CV?
Yes. Paste your CV the same way. The checks look for contact details, standard headings, measurable results and the keywords for the job, which apply to a CV as much as to a resume.
