Interview DrillsScored on what recruiters actually reward — not keyword counts. No red pen: just what they see before they decide.
A recruiter skims it in seconds. An interviewer makes you defend every line. Most resume checkers test neither — only whether a robot can read it.
The average first look a recruiter gives a resume before deciding to keep reading — or move on.

of hiring managers say resumes don't match candidates' real-world skills at least sometimes. Every line you send inherits that doubt.

Your Interview-Ready Score: does each line survive the recruiter's skim — and the follow-up question it earns? That's the read keyword checkers skip.
Our signature checkAnd yes — ATS formatting is checked too. That's table stakes, not the whole game.
What you'll see
Your score, in plain English — not a black-box percentage.
Every bullet is graded on whether it survives the moment a recruiter — or an interviewer — pushes on it. The resume that survives that push is the one that gets the call.
You're close. A handful of targeted fixes move this resume into interview range.
A bullet, the way an interviewer reads it
“Responsible for improving team performance and driving growth.”
The 60-second follow-up
“Improved it how much? Over what? And what did you personally do?” — this line gives you nothing to say.
“Led an 8-person team; cut ticket resolution time 42% in 6 months.”
From resume to a clear answer in three steps.

Built for the ways qualified people get filtered out.
None of these mean you're a weak candidate. All of them show up in how your resume reads — which is exactly what the score catches.
The black hole
“Applied to hundreds of jobs — qualified, and still not getting a look.”
When nothing comes back, you're done guessing. The score shows what a recruiter sees in those first seconds — and which lines are stopping the callback.
The mystery no
“I don't know what I'm doing wrong — there's a red flag somewhere I'm not seeing.”
Every flagged line is named, with why it reads weak and the exact rewrite. No black box, no guessing.
The career changer
“25 years of experience, and I get offered entry-level.”
A resume that leads with old-lane duties reads junior in the new lane. The score catches where your wins aren't translating — and the fix makes them land.
The room collapse
“They pushed on a bullet from my own resume — and I had nothing.”
A resume that oversells sets you up to fail in the interview it earns. The Qualifications score keeps every line defensible out loud.

Questions, answered.
Is it really free?+
Yes. You see your full score and your single highest-impact fix without paying or creating an account. Paid plans start at $39/month and include the rewrite, unlimited re-scores and the interview drills product.
Do I need a job description?+
No. Your resume is scored on its own for what matters on every application — clarity, evidence, and whether each line survives an interview. Paste a specific job posting and the match panels unlock too: hard skills, soft skills, keywords, education, and title fit against that exact role. Still free.
What's “interview defense”?+
Every bullet is a claim you'll have to defend out loud. “Led a team to 30% growth” — led how? Your 30%? We score whether each line gives you something real to say when an interviewer follows up on it — or leaves you stammering. In your report it's the Qualifications score, and it's the difference between a resume that gets you in the room and one that gets you in the room and then sinks you.
What's a good score?+
80+ is interview range — the target your report shows. 50–79 means you're close: a handful of targeted fixes move it into interview range. Under 50, the resume is getting screened out before a recruiter reads it. Your report also projects your score if you fix every flag. One honest note: unlike “ATS scores,” ours doesn't measure keyword density against a parser — it measures how your resume reads to the recruiter who skims it and the interviewer who pushes on it.
How is the score calculated?+
It's a weighted composite across up to 9 dimensions, each shown separately in your report: Qualifications (whether each bullet survives a follow-up — evidence, specificity, ownership), Searchability (contact info, section labels, dates a parser can read), and Recruiter Tips (measurable results, length, words to avoid) are scored from your resume alone. Add a job posting and Hard Skills, Soft Skills, Keywords, Education, Job Title, and ATS Tips are scored against that posting. Every flag names the exact line and why — you can audit every point yourself.
Is my resume private?+
Yes. We don't post it, sell it, or show it to anyone. It's used to generate your score and the report we email you, and kept private to your visit. No account required.
Will I get charged later?+
Not unless you choose a plan. The score needs no card, we don't do trials, and nothing starts billing on its own. A plan renews on a schedule you can see before you pay, and you can cancel any time. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What does the rewrite actually do?+
Every weak line rewritten — not just flagged — quantified where it was vague, hardened so you can defend it in the interview, and formatted clean for recruiters and ATS. Then your new version is re-scored, so you can see it moved before you send it. Delivered in minutes. A resume writer charges $200–400 for this.
How is this different from Jobscan / ATS checkers?+
Those tell you whether software can read your resume and whether you stuffed in enough keywords — the easy half. We test the hard half: whether a human recruiter believes you in 7 seconds, and whether you can back up every line when an interviewer pushes. We check the ATS too. We just don't stop there.
.docx or PDF?+
Either. Upload a .pdf or .docx, or paste the text directly.
How accurate is it?+
It scores against what recruiters and interviewers actually reward — clarity, evidence, defensibility — not a black-box percentage. You see the exact lines flagged and why, so you can judge every call yourself. Nothing hides behind a number.
Your score is under a minute away.
