The rubric

What the free review actually checks.

Five parts, all of them yours. This is the shape the reviewer is forced to fill in, not a summary of a good day.

The verdict

Your overall score out of 100, a one-sentence verdict, three snapshot points, where you stand today, and the single biggest thing to fix.

Strengths and critical issues

Three to five genuine strengths, then five to seven critical issues ordered most damaging first, each one pointing at a real line, employer or section in your file.

Section by section

A score out of 10 with a one-line note for summary, experience, skills, education and formatting, plus a one-sentence read on parsing risk.

Keywords and market fit

The hard keywords your target role expects and which of them you already have, how the resume reads to a recruiter in the market it is aimed at, how many bullets need real numbers, and the three highest-leverage actions.

Polish

A mechanical-correctness score, the specific spelling and grammar errors quoted from your text, and the professional links or contact fields you are missing.

The two numbers

One score is computed. One is judged.

They measure different things and they are allowed to disagree, which is the most useful thing about having both.

ATS score: computed in code

Eighteen weighted checks, one hundred points, added up by code from facts pulled out of your file. No model picks this number, so the same resume always gets the same score. The full rubric, with the points each check carries, is published on the ATS resume checker.

Overall score: judged, and strictly

This one reads the writing: whether your experience is described in results or in duties, whether the summary says anything, whether a recruiter would understand your scope. It is calibrated to be hard on real problems rather than encouraging. How the bands are set is on the resume score page.

Free, and what is not

The review is free. The first thing you can pay for is ₹249.

Said plainly, because a free review with a paywall in the middle of it is the thing everyone has been burned by.

Free

₹0
  • The full review: both scores, every issue, the section notes, the keyword list. Nothing blurred.
  • Your Career Story, built from the resume you just uploaded.
  • The resume builder and every template, plus the job tracker.

Paid, when you want it

from ₹249
  • A clean PDF export with no watermark, as a one-time unlock. No subscription, and it does not expire.
  • Pro and Max are monthly or three-month plans for the rest of the toolkit: job tailoring, cover letters, LinkedIn, interview prep.

Nothing about the review itself is behind either of them. Full pricing is on the pricing page.

India

Built for how Indian resumes actually arrive.

Not a badge. Each of these is a specific instruction the reviewer works under, and each is something a tool built for one market gets wrong on a document from another.

Commonwealth spelling is not a typo

Organised, programme, centre, behaviour, optimise, enrolment. The spelling pass is explicitly told these are correct, so your resume does not come back accused of errors it does not have.

The markets you actually apply into

The reviewer's brief names Canada, the US, the UK, the EU, the Gulf, Singapore, Australia and India, which is close to the list an Indian jobseeker's applications go to. The country verdict is written against the market your resume is aimed at, not a default American one.

Personal details are read, not ignored

Date of birth, nationality, marital status, passport number. Indian resumes often carry them, so they are transcribed and considered rather than quietly dropped before anyone looks at the file.

Written to be understood on the first read

Plain words, short sentences, no idioms. The review is written for people who learned English as a second language, and it stays specific rather than getting simpler.

How it works

Three steps, and you are only doing one of them.

The account is built around the review, at the end, if you want to keep it.

1

Drop the file

PDF or Word, up to 5MB. The real one you send to employers, not a cleaned-up version.

2

Watch it read

Your name and target role come back in about a second, then the verdict arrives block by block. The score and the headline land about halfway through.

3

Keep it, or do not

The scores and the top issues are on screen either way. One email address keeps the whole review and turns it into a Career Story. No password to invent, no card.

Questions

Common questions.

Is it really free?
Yes, and the whole review is free, not a preview of one. There is no blurred section, no locked page, and no report emailed to you after a payment. The first thing anyone is ever charged for is a one-time unlock for a clean PDF export, which has nothing to do with the review.
Do I have to create an account first?
No. You upload a file and the review runs. You only give an email if you want to keep the result, and even then there is no password to make: the account is built around the review you already have.
What file types work?
PDF and Word. Those are what applicant tracking systems accept. A plain text file will be read too, but a text file cannot show layout, so the checks that depend on seeing the page are marked as not assessed rather than guessed at.
How long does it take?
About a minute. The extraction comes back in roughly a second, so you see your own name and target role almost immediately, and the review streams in from there rather than sitting behind a spinner.
Will it invent things about me?
It is instructed not to, and the parts that could be invented are computed in code instead. Dates, missing links, contact fields and the ATS score are arithmetic, not opinion, and any narrative claim about an impossible date is stripped when the verified timeline says the timeline is clean.
What happens to my resume file?
It is stored privately against your review so you can come back to it. Nothing is published, and nothing is sold. The full terms are in our privacy policy.
