What a resume score measures
Our resume checker scores you out of 100 across the things recruiters and applicant tracking systems (ATS) actually react to:
Impact — do your bullets show results with numbers, or just list duties? Keywords — does your resume use the same skills and tools as the roles you want? Clarity — can someone scan it in six seconds? ATS-friendliness — plain sections, no tables or text boxes that break parsing. Summary — does the top of the page say who you are and what you are aiming for?
What is a good resume score?
85–100
Interview-ready. Clear results, the right keywords, nothing to trip a screener.
70–84
Solid. A few vague bullets or missing keywords are costing you callbacks.
50–69
Average. Duties instead of results, and gaps against the job description.
Under 50
Getting filtered out. Needs a rewrite of the summary and most bullets.
Scores are a guide, not a guarantee. Every employer's screening setup is different, so treat the number as a way to find your weakest sections first.
Five fixes that raise a resume score fastest
1. Rewrite your top three bullets as action + what + number + outcome. 2. Add the missing ATS resume keywords from the job description, inside real bullets. 3. Replace the objective with a two-line summary aimed at your target role. 4. Cut anything older than ten years that doesn't support the role. 5. Move to a single-column layout with standard section names.
