Resume Checker · For developers

An AI resume checker that goes past the ATS.

Why rejection feels like a black box

Three filters stand between “Submit application” and the interview. You could be failing at any of them and never know.

A standard resume checker scores you on layer one. RejectCheck audits all three.

01

ATS — the automated filter

Parses your CV to plain text, scores keyword overlap with the JD. Drops anything below the match threshold. Format breaks parsing more than candidates realize.

02

HR recruiter — the 6-second scan

A non-technical recruiter scans for red flags: short tenures, time gaps, 2+ pages with under 10 years of experience, fancy graphics, typos, inconsistencies CV ↔ LinkedIn.

03

Hiring manager — the signal review

A technical lead opens your GitHub. Are projects real or tutorial clones? Does your tone read junior or senior? Does your CV match the seniority the role requires?

What the resume checker returns

A full diagnosis. Not a generic score.

ATS resume checker output

Match score, missing keywords with point values, format/parsing flags. The same as a standard ATS checker — but it is just step one.

Skill gap radar

Visual map of your technical stack vs the JD requirements: where you over-index, where you are short, by how much.

GitHub & LinkedIn signal audit

Commit history quality, repo READMEs, project relevance, LinkedIn-CV consistency, recommendations. The signals a hiring manager actually checks.

Seniority audit

"I worked on" vs "I owned and shipped". "I used React" vs "I architected the frontend". Detects when your tone reads a level below what the role requires.

Red-flag detection

Employment gaps, vague titles, passive voice, overlapping dates, inflated skill lists, "Familiar with..." sections — the patterns that trigger auto-rejection.

Prioritized fix list

Every finding ranked by impact on the specific job. Apply the top 3 fixes first. Optional one-click CV rewrite (premium) applies them surgically.

FAQ

Resume checker — what developers ask

What does the resume checker actually check?

Three layers: the ATS layer (keyword match against the job description), the HR layer (red flags a recruiter spots in a 6-second scan), and the hiring manager layer (seniority signals, GitHub activity, LinkedIn consistency, project relevance). One pass, three perspectives.

Is this an ATS resume checker or something more?

It includes a full ATS resume checker (keyword scoring, parsing flags, missing skills with point values) — but it does not stop there. Most rejections happen after the ATS, at the HR scan or the hiring manager review. Resume checkers that only score ATS miss 70% of why developers get rejected.

How is this different from generic resume checkers?

Generic resume checkers grade tone and grammar against template rules. RejectCheck audits developer-specific signals: GitHub commit patterns, repo quality, README presence, LinkedIn-CV consistency, "I worked on" vs "I owned and shipped" tone. It is calibrated for engineering hires.

Will the resume checker rewrite my CV?

The free scan returns the diagnosis: missing keywords, format flags, red flags, seniority assessment, and prioritized fixes. CV rewrite (with the fixes applied surgically and PDF export) is a premium feature.

How long does the resume check take?

Under 60 seconds. Upload a CV PDF, paste the target job description, optionally add GitHub username and a LinkedIn PDF export. The dual-AI pipeline (GPT-4o + Claude) runs all audits in parallel.

What does a good resume look like for the hiring manager layer?

Active voice over passive ("I owned and shipped" vs "I helped build"), measurable impact ("used by 10k users", "reduced p95 latency by 40%") over task lists, GitHub activity that backs the CV claims, and seniority signals (ownership, leadership, production systems) that match the role level.
