Missing keywords

GraphQL, Microservices, Distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry

Our optimizer fills these only where they truthfully fit your stack — no fabrication.

  • 75%

    of resumes are rejected by ATS filters before a human reads them.

  • 8 sec

    is the median time a recruiter spends on a resume that does pass.

  • 6 layers

    of deterministic scoring — not a black-box model verdict.

    One click rewrites bullets with quantification and inserts missing keywords only where they truthfully apply. Download the formatted PDF.

Anatomy of a score

No verdict you can't audit

Most ATS tools give you a number. We show you the six contributing components and their weights, so you know exactly where to focus.

Keyword match

40%

Exact + fuzzy overlap with the JD's named skills, with implicit synonyms (EC2 → AWS) credited.

Semantic match

10%

Sentence-embedding similarity between your bullets and the JD prose.

Experience fit

20%

Total years from extracted date ranges, progression, recency of skills.

Impact

15%

Proportion of bullets with metrics (%, $, X×), strength of action verbs.

Format

5%

ATS-readable headers, standard sections, sentence-length sanity.

Soft signals

10%

Leadership, communication, collaboration cues — without buzzword padding.

For hiring teams

For recruiters who want signal, not theatre.

The same engine that scores a single resume against a JD can rank a stack of them. Built-in BS detection flags unverifiable claims; auto-generated probes give your screening calls structure.

  • Rank candidates with a transparent rubric reviewers can defend.
  • Generate interview probes targeted at gaps and exaggerations.
  • Bulk evaluator and shortlist export — on the roadmap.

Sample probe

“You list ‘Architected the platform that scaled to 10M users’. Walk me through the decision tree: what would have broken first at 100M, and what actually broke first in production?”

Generated automatically from a flagged claim in the resume.

What it won't do

The optimizer has a hard rule: never fabricate.

If a keyword has no honest place in your resume, the optimizer leaves it out and tells you so. We'd rather lose a point than lose your trust.

No fake metrics injected into bullets
No invented companies, roles, or dates
No keyword stuffing — it gets detected and flagged
PII is redacted before the LLM ever sees it

Questions

Things people ask before they upload.

Is my resume stored?+
We store the parsed evaluation so you can re-open the URL later. Original files are deleted right after parsing, and the resume text held for re-scoring is never logged in plaintext.
Does the optimizer make things up?+
No. The system prompt enforces no fabrication of metrics, companies, dates, or technologies. Keywords are injected only where they truthfully apply to your experience.
Why 6 weighted layers instead of one model verdict?+
Black-box scores aren't actionable. By splitting the score into 40% keyword + 10% semantic + 20% experience + 15% impact + 5% format + 10% soft signals, you can see exactly what to fix.
How long does scoring take?+
About 20–30 seconds for the initial score (it includes one LLM call for reviewer insights). Optimization runs the LLM twice and takes 25–45 seconds.
Can I run multiple JDs against the same resume?+
Yes — every evaluation is versioned. PUT to /api/evaluations/{id} updates the score and snapshots the previous one. UI for switching JDs is on the roadmap.
