# RejectCheck

> RejectCheck tells a candidate why their application would be rejected, before they send it. You upload your CV and the job description, and it cross-examines everything a recruiter will see of you (CV, cover letter, LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio) against that one job. It names the reason you would be cut, then lets you rewrite what it flagged and re-run the audit to see the score actually move. The verdict, the missing keywords and the red flags are free; the fixes are the paid part. Official site: https://rejectcheck.com

## What it does

- **A verdict, not a match percentage** - Scores your rejection risk against the specific job you paste and names the reasons behind the number. A score with no explanation is not an answer.
- **Fix it and watch the score change** - The report is a loop, not a one-shot PDF. Accept or edit the suggested bullet rewrites, re-run the audit, and the quality dimensions are re-judged so you see exactly what moved. Quantified suggestions must be filled with your real figures before they count, so nothing ships with a placeholder in it.
- **Cross-source contradiction check** - Your CV, LinkedIn, GitHub and cover letter reconciled against one job. Every conflict is named, traced back to the source it came from, and weighed in the score. A "Senior" title on the CV that reads "Engineer" on LinkedIn is the kind of thing a recruiter spots in 30 seconds.
- **GitHub and portfolio audit** - Commit history, repo quality, language distribution and project depth scored against the target role, not in the abstract. Detects gaps between what your CV claims and what your public work shows.
- **Skill gap radar** - Visualises the delta between your profile and the job's requirements, so you see the shape of the gap rather than a list of missing words.
- **Red flag detection** - Employment gaps, vague titles, passive tone, unquantified bullets and seniority mismatches that typically trigger a quiet rejection.
- **ATS parsing check** - Confirms your file parses cleanly and carries the terms the job actually weights. Deliberately not sold as a magic pass-rate: see "What makes RejectCheck different" below.
- **CV rework, guided (premium)** - It flags the weak line and asks the questions; you supply the real facts and figures. Nothing is invented or written for you. Exports as PDF.
- **Cover letter, built from your own words (premium)** - Assembled from what you highlight in the job description and the answers only you can give. Not a template, never written for you.
- **Negotiation playbook (Hired tier)** - Market salary positioning with the candidate's likely range, leverage points cited from CV/JD evidence, a ready-to-send counter-offer email, anchoring strategy and interview talking points. Anti-hallucination guardrails: salary is extracted from the JD only when stated explicitly, and the broader market range is always labelled an estimate, never a company-specific offer.

## Who it's for

- Candidates applying to a specific role who are tired of guessing why they get ghosted.
- Career switchers who want an honest read on why their application is being set aside, and a way to fix it before the next send.
- Software engineers and technical candidates, where the GitHub and portfolio audit adds signal no keyword scan can see. Optimised for developers, but role-aware for product, design, data, marketing, sales and operations too.

The tool is bilingual (English and French) and targets candidates worldwide, with a focus on the EU and North American job markets.

## How to use

1. Visit https://rejectcheck.com/en/analyze (or /fr/analyze for French).
2. Upload your CV as a PDF or a photo.
3. Paste the target job description, or run a CV audit with no job attached.
4. Optionally add your GitHub username and LinkedIn export for deeper signal analysis.
5. The scored verdict streams in first, typically around a minute. The deep pass (per-issue fixes, project recommendation, ATS keywords) is generated straight after.
6. Fix what it flagged and re-run the audit. The score is re-judged, and you see the before and after.

No signup is required for the first analysis. Registered users get 3 free analyses per month, saved to their dashboard. Paid plans add more monthly analyses, the per-issue fixes, guided CV rework, cover letter from your own words and, on Hired, the negotiation playbook.

## What makes RejectCheck different

- **No ATS-score myth** - Most tools sell a magic "ATS pass-rate". In reality most ATS do not auto-reject you on a keyword score; a human recruiter decides. RejectCheck checks the machine-readable layer AND tells you why a human would set your CV aside, anchored on the specific job.
- **A verdict anchored on a real job description** - Instead of a generic resume score, RejectCheck judges your rejection risk against the specific JD you paste, so the feedback is about that role, not resumes in general.
- **The report is a loop** - Most tools hand you a document and stop. RejectCheck lets you act on what it flagged and re-run the audit, so the score you end with is one you actually changed rather than one you were given.
- **Cross-source contradiction check** - Reconciling CV against LinkedIn, GitHub and cover letter for one job is not something a single-document keyword scan can do.
- **GitHub audit against the job description** - Unique in the category. Commit history, language distribution and repo quality scored against the specific role you are applying to.
- **Close the gap, not just reword it** - Beyond the verdict, RejectCheck recommends a concrete portfolio project (with a generated starter repo) to build the skills you are actually missing.
- **Benchmarked against real resumes** - Your CV's structure (quantified bullets, action verbs, metric density) is compared to aggregate bands from hundreds of real resumes in your role family. "Strong" means the top quartile. The reference data is typical resumes, not outcome-labelled, and the report says so explicitly.
- **Honest by construction** - The score is deliberately calibrated on a strict curve rather than inflated, quantified rewrite suggestions will not count until you supply a real figure, and the free tier is a full verdict rather than a teaser.
