Reading your score

What a good resume score looks like

70-100 is strong — your resume is ATS-ready and recruiter-friendly. 45-69 means a handful of fixable gaps, usually missing metrics or weak verbs. Below 45 means it is worth rebuilding your core sections before you apply. The section bars show where you are losing points, and the top fixes tell you exactly what to change.

Resume score FAQ

WFHJ checks your resume against the signals an ATS and a recruiter actually weigh — quantified achievements, strong action verbs, contact completeness, a clear summary, relevant skills, and the right length. Each of the five sections earns a share of the 100 points, and we show exactly which checks passed and which to fix.

Aim for 70 or higher. A score of 70-100 means your resume is ATS-ready and recruiter-friendly. 45-69 means a few fixable gaps — usually missing metrics or weak verbs. Below 45 means it is worth rebuilding the core sections before you apply.

It mirrors the structural rules real applicant tracking systems use — parseable sections, standard headings, keywords, and no formatting that breaks parsing. No single tool can guarantee a specific ATS, so use the score to fix the fundamentals, then tailor keywords to each job with our ATS keyword checker.

No. The score runs on the text you paste and nothing is saved. If you later build a resume in the WFHJ Resume Studio, we store only what is needed to match and tailor applications, and your resume is shown to an employer only when you choose to apply.

The most common reasons are bullets that describe duties instead of results, no numbers to prove impact, a missing or vague summary, and a resume that runs too long. Open the Top fixes list — each item tells you the exact change to make.

Rewrite weak lines with our bullet point improver, add a sharp opener with the summary generator, then match the job description with the ATS keyword checker. Re-run the score after each pass and watch it climb — all free, no signup.
