        What We Analyze

        Every angle of your application, scored

        Our AI checks 15+ key factors that recruiters and ATS systems look for in resumes and CVs.

        Resume Analysis

        ATS scoring that goes beyond keywords

        We evaluate 5 dimensions of your resume: ATS compatibility, keyword strength, structure, impact language, and formatting. Each gets its own score so you know exactly what to fix.

        ✓ Keyword match against job description
        ✓ Impact language & quantified achievements
        ✓ Before/after bullet rewrites
        Resume Score 82/100
        ATS Compatibility88
        Keyword Match75
        Impact Language80
        Structure62
        Cover Letter 68/100
        Role Relevance72
        Persuasive Impact65
        Structure & Flow70
        Professional Tone68

        Cover Letter Analysis

        Your story matters as much as your skills

        Most tools ignore cover letters. We score persuasive impact, role relevance, structure, and tone — because a strong narrative is what gets you the interview after keywords get you past the filter.

        ✓ Persuasion & storytelling scoring
        ✓ Company research & connection detection
        ✓ Sentence-level rewrite suggestions

        Combined Application Review

        See how your documents work together

        Upload your resume and cover letter together for cross-document analysis. We check consistency, complementarity, and whether your application tells one coherent career story — not just two separate documents.

        ✓ Cross-document consistency check
        ✓ Complementarity scoring (not just repetition)
        ✓ Unified narrative strength analysis
        Combined Score 74/100
        Consistency85
        Complementarity60
        Keyword Alignment75
        Narrative Strength68

        Beyond Keyword Matching

        Most resume scanners stop at keywords. In 2026, hiring managers and ATS systems expect more.

        75%

        of resumes are filtered out by ATS before a human ever sees them

        7 sec

        average time a hiring manager spends reviewing a resume that passes ATS

        34%

        of recruiters reject resumes that lack quantified achievements — not just missing keywords

        Keywords get you past the filter.
        Your story gets you the interview.

        Modern ATS systems use semantic analysis — they understand context, not just exact matches. Keyword stuffing no longer works. What matters is evidence: quantified results, impact language, and a clear career narrative.

        That's why ratemy.cv goes beyond keywords. We score your impact language, evaluate your career narrative across documents, and show you exactly where your application falls short — not just which words are missing.

        ✓ ATS compatibility scoring
        ✓ Impact language & achievement analysis
        ✓ Resume + cover letter narrative scoring
        ✓ Before/after rewrites with real metrics

        See the Difference Good Bullets Make

        Small changes in phrasing can dramatically improve your chances.

        Yes! You get 3 free scans without even signing up — full ATS score, keywords, section feedback, rewrites, and the Recruiter Eye Scan. Nothing is held back. Sign up and you get 5 bonus credits. Need more? A 20-scan pack is $4.99 (one-time), or Pro ($9/month) gives you unlimited scans for ongoing job searches. We also offer a one-time AI resume rewrite for $7 if you'd rather not do it yourself.

        Absolutely. Whether you call it a resume, CV, or curriculum vitae, our scanner analyzes the same key factors: ATS compatibility, keyword strength, structure, impact language, and formatting. We also support cover letter analysis and combined resume + cover letter evaluation for a complete application review.

        ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software that companies use to screen resumes before a human sees them. Over 75% of large employers use ATS. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it may be automatically filtered out — even if you're qualified for the role.

        No. Your resume or CV is processed in memory and never stored on our servers. We don't save your document text, file, or personal information. The analysis happens in real-time and the data is discarded immediately after you receive your results.

        It's optional. Without a job description, you'll get a general resume quality review. With a job description, you'll get a targeted match score and specific missing keywords — which is more actionable if you're applying to a specific role.

        The free scanner gives you a score, feedback, and 3 sample rewrites. The $7 rewrite transforms every single bullet point on your resume with strong action verbs, real metrics, and professional formatting — then delivers 2 complete ATS-friendly DOCX files to your email, ready to submit.
