What this Resume Score Checker does

Hiring teams and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) skim applications in seconds. This resume score checker gives you a clear, numbers-driven snapshot of where you stand and how to improve quickly. It behaves like an ATS resume checker by analyzing structure, headings, and keyword relevance, then runs a resume keyword match against the Job Description using a built-in JD keyword checker. You’ll also get resume readability metrics (Flesch and grade level) so your achievements are easy to scan on desktop and mobile. The output isn’t just a score; you get a prioritized to-do list so you can make fast edits that actually move the needle.

How to use the tool (3 quick steps)

  1. Paste or upload your resume as PDF/DOCX.
  2. Optional: paste the JD to compute the resume keyword match and see the top missing keywords.
  3. Click Score Resume to get a 0–100 score, a category breakdown, and resume improvement tips. You can also download a one-page report for quick editing.

What we check (scoring breakdown)

  • Structure: We look for the essentials—Experience, Education, Skills, and Projects/Certifications—and whether they’re clearly labeled and skimmable.
  • Contact/Header: Presence of email, phone, and at least one professional link (LinkedIn/GitHub/portfolio).
  • Quantification: Use of numbers, %, ₹, users, time saved, and other metrics that prove outcomes—not just duties.
  • Action Verbs & Bullets: Bullets that start with strong verbs (Led, Built, Optimized) and stay within 1–2 lines.
  • Readability & Length: Target 350–800 words with Flesch 60–75 and grade ≤8–10 for easy scanning.
  • ATS Keyword Match: Overlap between your resume and the JD; we list the key missing terms to add naturally.
  • Chronology & Gaps: Reverse-chronological ordering and sensible continuity; large gaps should have brief, honest context.

Resume improvement tips to lift your score fast

  • Mirror the JD: Add relevant keywords naturally in Skills and your most recent role—don’t dump a list.
  • Quantify outcomes: Replace tasks with results: “Automated GST reconciliations, cut TAT by 35%.”
  • Use strong verbs: Led, Built, Implemented, Reduced, Improved—avoid “responsible for.”
  • Tighten bullets: 1–2 lines each; keep paragraphs rare for better resume readability.
  • Order matters: Put your latest role first; keep each section clean and scannable.
  • Stay ATS-safe: Avoid tables/columns/graphics; use standard headings and common fonts.
