CV Score

Hi Fazier! CV Score started because friends kept asking why their applications went silent. The free assessment scores a CV across 8 categories and 48 criteria and explains each finding against a published rubric - no ATS simulation, no interview promises. Curious what you would want a CV checker to tell you.

if you don't have it already you can also add a google extension that would rate user's cv against the job listing the user is viewing on their browser, it should also autofill most of the fields as well

I like that the free result gives one single highest impact problem instead of a wall of findings. That makes it much easier for a job seeker to know what to fix first.

The published scoring methodology and support for scanned PDFs make an interesting combination. Could candidates see the text extracted by OCR before scoring, and correct any recognition mistakes? That would help separate problems with the CV itself from issues introduced during scanning.

Loved the breadth of the criteria used here

I love the intuitive UX.

From the hiring side, recruiters screening hundreds of CVs mostly read the first line or two under each role. Does the work experience category check whether the strongest result sits at the top of each role, or does it score all bullets the same?

A free resume builder with ATS-friendly templates and multiple export formats is a great option for job seekers who want to simplify the application process. Another useful resource is https://careerdepot.ai/ which can help with career planning and job search preparation, making it easier to take the next step toward your professional goals.

The rubic publishing is a great addition

Publishing the rubric is a nice touch, since most CV checkers keep their scoring a black box. Does the language category adjust for regional conventions (UK vs US spelling, date formats, CV vs resume length norms), or does it score everything against one standard?

From the employer side, the biggest issue we see is CVs that list tools and skills without any context on what the person actually delivered. Does CV Score check for measurable results, or mainly keywords and formatting? A role-specific mode, for accounts or developer roles for example, would make it even more useful.

Really intuitive workflow, looks very polished for a launch product

Publishing the methodology and being upfront about what the score cannot do builds a lot of trust. The free verdict with the single highest-impact fix is a smart hook. Does the ATS readiness check flag things like two-column layouts and text inside tables?

I like that the free result gives one highest-impact fix and the methodology is published, so the score does not feel like a black box. The one-time Fix Report instead of a subscription is also refreshing.

The free result showing a percentile plus the single highest-impact fix is a smart way to avoid overwhelming people. It would help to show an example report before the PDF upload so visitors know what to expect.

Must be thoughtful, specific, and helpful.

Liked that you published the methodology and say what the score cannot do. Most CV checkers just throw a number at you. Are the 48 criteria weighted equally across the 8 categories?

A CV is full of personal data (address, phone, work history), so it would help to state clearly how long uploaded PDFs are kept and whether they're deleted after scoring. Also, after fixing the top issue, can you re-upload and see a before/after comparison of the score? That loop would make the free tier really sticky.

Love that this is browser-native rather than another desktop install. Curious whether large Procreate files hit memory limits on mid-range phones — a soft file-size hint before upload would save failed attempts.

Publishing the methodology and being upfront about what the score cannot do builds a lot of trust. The free verdict with the single highest-impact fix is a smart hook. Does the ATS readiness check flag things like two-column layouts and text inside tables?

The free verdict plus a single highest-impact problem is a smart way to show value before the $4.99 Fix Report. I'd be curious how the ATS readiness criteria handle two-column CV layouts.

Publishing the scoring methodology and the 48 criteria is a smart trust move, since CV scorers are often black boxes. How do you handle CVs in non-English languages or with creative layouts, where ATS readiness is harder to judge?

This looks like a valuable tool for job seekers! Knowing how your CV performs before applying for jobs can help you identify areas for improvement and present your skills more effectively to recruiters.
