Check your resume the way hiring software reads it

The check runs in the editor as you type. It reads your resume for what a parser and a recruiter's keyword search depend on, names each problem, and links to the section to fix. It is rule-based: no AI, and the same resume always gets the same result.

What it checks

10 checks. Each one that fails is reported as a warning or a problem.

Contact details: Name, email and phone are all present.
Summary length: A summary of about 40 to 70 words. Under 25 or over 110 words is flagged as too short or too long to skim.
Experience: At least one role is listed.
Dates on every role: Every role has a start date, and an end date unless it is current. Parsers use dates to work out years of experience.
Bullets on every role: Every role has at least one bullet. Three to five per role is the suggested range.
Quantified results: At least 30% of your bullets contain a number: a percentage, an amount, a count or time saved.
Action-led bullets: No bullet leans on passive phrases such as "responsible for", "worked on", "helped with" or "duties included".
Skills list: Skills are listed and there are no more than 30. Keeping the 12 to 20 that match the role is the suggestion.
Target title: The exact job title you are aiming for appears in your resume: in the headline, the summary or a role.
Length: No more than 24 experience bullets in total, so the resume fits on one to two pages.

A real report on a first draft

A one-role first draft with a target title of "Event Manager", run through the check as this page was rendered.

Score 50 of 100: Needs work

Problem: Add your core contact details
Recruiters and parsers both look for phone first. Add them so the basics are complete and easy to find.
Warning: Expand your summary a little
It is only 5 words. Aim for roughly 40–70 so it can carry your target role, years of experience and one signature result.
Warning: Add dates to every role
1 role is missing a start or end date. Parsers use dates to compute your years of experience.
Warning: Quantify more of your achievements
Only 0 of 1 bullets contain a number. Metrics (%, $, counts, time saved) are what make impact legible to both software and people.
Warning: Replace passive phrasing with strong verbs
1 bullet uses phrases like "responsible for". Open with an action verb (led, shipped, cut, grew) to signal ownership.
Warning: List your skills
A skills section is where this check looks for terms relevant to your target role. Group them so they stay readable.
Warning: "Event Manager" does not appear in your resume
Mirror the target job title at least once, ideally in your headline or summary, so keyword filters match you.
Pass: Experience section present
1 role listed.

Keyword coverage against a job description

Paste a job description and the editor pulls out up to 40 terms from it, ranked by how often they appear, with recognised skills weighted above ordinary words. It then shows which of those terms your resume already contains and which it does not, and the share updates as you edit.

It shows the gap and leaves the wording to you. It will not add terms for you, because a skill you do not have is not a gap worth closing. For how to close the real ones, see how to tailor a resume to a job description.

What it cannot tell you

No checker can run an employer's own configuration. Knockout questions on the application form, filters on dates or degrees, and AI ranking are set up per employer and are invisible from outside. The check covers what is in your control and does not predict an outcome or promise an interview. What applicant tracking systems actually do explains each of those, with sources.
