RejectCheck reads your CV against one specific job, before you apply. Every application is scored on five dimensions, against three filters it has to clear on its way to a decision. These are the named frameworks behind every RejectCheck score.
Each dimension is read against the job’s own requirements, one at a time: is each one shown in your CV or your GitHub, partly shown, or not shown? The result is a decision: Fix, Build, Skip or Ready. It comes from what blocks you, never from a sum of points. A requirement you meet but your CV doesn’t show yet means Fix. One you would still have to build means Build. A condition the posting sets that you can’t meet means Skip. Every must-have shown means Ready. A CV rarely fails on all five: it usually fails sharply on one or two, and that’s what gets it set aside.
Passing one filter doesn’t mean passing the next. RejectCheck audits all three in a single pass, so you see where you’d actually drop out.
The system recruiters search and sort applications in. Most don’t auto-reject on a keyword score, but a CV that parses badly or lacks the job’s terms rarely comes up in their search.
A recruiter skims quickly for red flags: gaps, vague titles, obvious mismatches. Survive this and you reach a real evaluation.
Depth: GitHub signal, seniority match, project relevance, whether the story holds up. This is where the dev-specific signals decide it.
