The four weighted components

The overall score combines ATS/Parse at 30%, Structure at 25%, Impact at 25% and Clarity at 20%. The report shows every component separately. A low component can help you decide where to investigate, but the number does not measure your professional competence or predict selection.

Change one variable at a time

Save or copy your report, make an accurate edit and re-check the same text and settings. The scoring rules are deterministic. If you switch from a document to pasted text, layout metadata changes, so the parse component may change even when the words are identical.

A useful score has visible limits

Numbers and action verbs are signals of specificity, not proof of impact. A truthful qualitative result can still be valuable. Prioritize accurate, relevant evidence over optimizing a formula, and check the full scoring explanation before interpreting a small change.

From upload to a stronger application.

FAQ

Questions before you upload?

English resumes only. PDF text extraction and DOCX paragraphs are checked; visual fonts, all tables, and every ATS layout behavior cannot be verified. Scanned PDFs need OCR elsewhere.

How is the overall score calculated?+

The overall score combines ATS/Parse at 30%, Structure at 25%, Impact at 25% and Clarity at 20%. The report shows every component separately. A low component can help you decide where to investigate, but the number does not measure your professional competence or predict selection.

Why did pasted text receive a different parse score?+

Save or copy your report, make an accurate edit and re-check the same text and settings. The scoring rules are deterministic. If you switch from a document to pasted text, layout metadata changes, so the parse component may change even when the words are identical.

Should I optimize every bullet for numbers?+

Numbers and action verbs are signals of specificity, not proof of impact. A truthful qualitative result can still be valuable. Prioritize accurate, relevant evidence over optimizing a formula, and check the full scoring explanation before interpreting a small change.

Is the full resume check free?+

Yes. You can see every score, issue and extracted line without an account. Basic checks, two-JD comparison and report printing are free.

Does my resume leave my device?+

Basic checks run in your browser. Files and job descriptions are not uploaded. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected text to our server and Cloudflare Workers AI after your consent.

Is this my actual ATS score?+

No. Employers use different systems and rules. This is a reproducible heuristic check, not an employer score, ranking prediction or guarantee. AI is used only for optional rewriting.
