The most advanced resume checker, powered by AI
Score My Resume goes beyond basic spell checking and uses leading Artificial Intelligence technology to grade your resume on 20+ resume checks that recruiters and hiring managers pay attention to. Specifically, the platform analyzes your resume's impact by evaluating the strength of your word choice, and also checks your resume's style and brevity.
Similarly, it also scores each of the bullet points on your resume and checks for key elements such as inconsistencies, length, word choice, filler words, keywords and buzzwords.

Designed by hiring managers
Our online resume grader provides better resume feedback than most so-called 'professional' reviewers out there, who often give outdated, wrong or non-actionable advice and charge hundreds of dollars.
The feedback in your resume review has been curated by current hiring managers and recruiters at companies like Google, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs.
We know this works. -

What our resume checker looks for
Here are some of the things the checker examines your resume for:
- ATS resume compatibility: Score My Resume analyzes your resume's template and checks whether it is compatible with ATS (resume scanners).
- Resume and bullet point length: Brevity is key when it comes to a resume.
- Resume action verbs: Recruiters and resume reviewers are looking for evidence of impact on your resume. Score My Resume checks to make sure that you've used strong action verbs as well as other indicators of a strong impact-oriented resume.
- Plus over 25 additional free resume checks. See our resume checklist for examples of additional checks recruiters look for.
Personalized, actionable advice
Most advice online is terribly generic and unhelpful, saying, “Be impactful!” or “Don’t be vague” (how ironic). These are statements that only become helpful when they are explained in context of your resume.
Unlike any other tool, our resume checker identifies gaps on your resume and gives you a detailed assessment of your resume, which contains tailored advice on how to improve it, backed up with insights from recruiters and examples from other candidates. Plus, you'll also get rewritten lines that you can use on your resume.
How does our resume checker work?
To create this product, we spent thousands of hours speaking with recruiters and hiring managers at top companies like Google and McKinsey. We've found out exactly what they look for when they review resumes. We then spent the next two years working with data scientists and software engineers to create this resume checker.
It uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to scan your resume for the most important elements resume reviewers and hiring managers specifically keep an eye out for.
❮❯What does Score My Resume check?
Score My Resume runs 30+ checks on your resume — up to around 40, depending on your career level, because what counts as a strong resume for a student is different from what counts for a senior executive. Every check is a specific thing recruiters told us they look for, and your report shows the exact lines behind each result. The checks fall into four groups:
- Impact and quantified achievements — whether your bullet points show measurable results or just list duties. For example, the weak action verbs check flags openers like 'Assisted' or 'Helped' that hide what you actually did. Also covered: accomplishment-oriented language, verb tenses and repetition.
- Brevity, wording and style — resume length and depth, bullet point length, filler words, buzzwords and clichés, passive voice, personal pronouns, and spelling.
- Growth and leadership signals — evidence of leadership, teamwork, communication, analytical skills, and drive across your roles: the signals hiring managers read as career growth.
- ATS and formatting — whether applicant tracking systems can read your file: system readability, date formats, punctuation consistency, page density, section structure and contact details. To see this piece on its own, run your resume through our free ATS resume scanner, which focuses entirely on how applicant tracking systems read your resume.
What each score range means
Score ranges as defined in our score guide. The 85 and 90 thresholds are the same for everyone; the checks behind them adjust to your career level.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good resume score?
A good resume score is 85 or above — ideally 90 or above. Score My Resume grades from 0 to 100, based on 30+ checks recruiters and hiring managers use. An 85+ resume has cleared the mistakes recruiters spot immediately; a 90+ resume passes every check. See what each score range means in our score guide.
How is the resume score calculated?
Score My Resume runs your resume through 30+ individual checks — the criteria recruiters and hiring managers told us they look for. Each check examines something specific and verifiable: whether your bullet points include numbers, whether they open with strong verbs, whether your dates and formatting parse cleanly. Your score out of 100 reflects how many checks you pass, and the checks adapt to your career level.
Is Score My Resume free?
Yes. Upload your resume and you instantly get your score plus the top issues holding it down, free. You can make changes and score the revised version to check your progress. Deeper line-by-line feedback and the rewriting tools are part of the paid product; the score and your biggest fixes cost nothing.
How do I improve my resume score?
Fix what the report flags, then score the resume again. Most gains come from a few repeatable moves: adding numbers to unquantified bullets, swapping weak verb openers for strong ones, and cutting filler words. If you'd rather not do the rewriting yourself, AutoFix rewrites your resume to address every issue the score found — almost any resume can reach 90+ this way.
