Free resume score: grade your resume against the role you want
A resume grader is only useful if you know what the grade means. Here you get an estimated fit range for one role, with the reasons behind it.
What your resume score means
The score estimates how closely your resume matches what current postings for a role ask for. It is shown as a range, because postings vary, and the report says how many postings sit behind it.
It is not a rating of you as a person and not a forecast of any hiring decision.
How the grade is worked out
Fixed, published rules weigh skills, experience, education and how clearly your lines show results. The same resume and role give the same score each time, and each report names the scoring version used. You can read the rules in How scoring works.
Using the score to improve
Look at the top three gaps first. Fix them, upload again and compare. The resume score analyzer view in the full report breaks the number down so you can see which part moved.
How it works
- Upload and choose a role. One resume and one role per check.
- Read the range. Your estimated fit comes with the gaps that pull it down.
- Improve and compare. Change your resume and check again to see the difference.
Questions
Is the resume score free?
Yes, the preview with your score range and top three gaps is free, with 2 free checks per person.
Why a range and not one number?
Postings differ from one another, so a range is more honest than a single figure.
Why did a PDF and a Word copy score differently?
Different file types are read by different text readers, so a little wording can differ. Upload the same file type for the most consistent result.
Where can I read the scoring rules?
On the How scoring works page, which lists the factors and the model version.
Scores, pay ranges and plans are estimates based on the resume you upload and the job postings we could read at the time. They are guidance for improving your resume, not a prediction of any hiring decision.
