How to Use the Resume Analyzer
A strong resume needs to pass two filters: automated ATS screening and human recruiter review. This free resume analyzer scores your resume across 8 dimensions that matter to both. You get a score from 0-100 plus specific, actionable improvements ranked by impact.
Step 1: Paste Your Resume as Plain Text
Copy your resume content and paste it as plain text. If you have a PDF or Word file, open it and copy the text content directly. Don't worry about formatting symbols — the analyzer reads the words and patterns, not the visual layout.
Step 2: Select Your Target Role
Choose the role type that best matches the job you're applying for. The analyzer uses role-specific keyword lists — a Software Engineer resume should mention Python, Git, and APIs, while a Marketing Manager resume should reference campaigns, analytics, and ROI. Selecting the right role makes the skills match scoring more meaningful.
Step 3: Review the 8 Dimension Scores
Each dimension gets a PASS, WARN, or FAIL status. Focus first on any FAIL dimensions — those are the biggest improvement opportunities. Common issues include: missing standard section headings (ATS compatibility), no metrics in bullet points (quantified achievements), and weak verb openers like "Responsible for" (action verbs).
Step 4: Act on the Top 5 Quick Wins
The quick wins section lists the most impactful improvements sorted by ease of implementation. Start with ATS fixes (rename creative headings to standard ones) and action verb replacements — these take minutes but can significantly improve your ATS pass rate. Then tackle quantified achievements, which require more thought but make the biggest impression on recruiters.
How We Score
The resume analyzer checks 8 dimensions: ATS Compatibility (standard headings detected), Contact Info (email, phone, LinkedIn present), Quantified Achievements (% of bullet points with metrics), Action Verbs (strong vs. passive openers), Length (word count in appropriate range), Skills Match (role-specific keywords found), Bullet Quality (length and structure), and Education (present with dates). Each dimension is scored independently and weighted into an overall score. All analysis happens entirely in your browser — your resume text never leaves your device.
FAQ
Is my resume data private?
Yes, completely private. All analysis runs 100% locally in your browser. Your resume text is never sent to any server, stored in a database, or shared with anyone. Your data stays on your device.
What is ATS compatibility and why does it matter?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software scans resumes before a recruiter sees them. Resumes with non-standard formatting, creative section headings, or missing keywords get filtered out automatically. Our tool checks for the most common ATS failure points.
What score should I aim for?
Aim for 75 or higher overall. Scores under 50 usually signal missing critical sections or poor ATS formatting. A score in the 75-90 range means your resume is well-structured and will pass most ATS filters. Each dimension score tells you specifically where to improve.
What does 'quantified achievements' mean?
Quantified achievements are bullet points that include specific numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts. 'Increased sales by 34%' scores better than 'improved sales performance' because numbers are specific, memorable, and prove impact. Aim for metrics in 40%+ of your bullets.
What are action verbs and which ones should I use?
Action verbs are strong verbs that start a bullet point and convey leadership or impact — like 'Led', 'Developed', 'Increased', 'Designed', or 'Managed'. Weak openers like 'Responsible for' or 'Helped with' score lower because they are passive and vague. Start every bullet with a strong action verb.
Is this resume analyzer free?
Yes, completely free with no signup, no account, and no limits. Analyze as many resume versions as you like at no cost.
