Free Resume Checker
A resume checker reviews your resume the way employers actually screen it: parsed by software, ranked by keyword and experience match against the posting, then skimmed by a recruiter in seconds. CVAura checks all of that at once and returns a 0-100 score, five subscores, and a summary of your biggest improvement lever, free and without an account.
Free score, no signup. Your file is parsed in memory and never stored.
What a resume checker should check
A useful resume check answers three questions in order. Will the software parse it? Broken layouts, tables that split entries, and headers holding contact details silently corrupt the parsed profile. Will it rank? Applicant tracking systems rank on keyword and qualification overlap with the posting. Will it convince? Recruiters skim for recent, relevant, quantified evidence. Generic grammar-and-font checkers only touch the surface; a real check needs the posting you are targeting.
Check against the job, not in a vacuum
The same resume performs differently for every role, so CVAura checks yours against the exact job description you paste. That surfaces what actually decides screening outcomes: which of the posting's required skills, tools, and qualifications your resume shows, and which it is missing.
What you get free
The free check gives the 0-100 score, subscores for keywords, experience, impact, seniority, and readability, plus a two-sentence diagnosis. The full report adds every matched and missing keyword and specific rewrites, unlockable per report or with Pro.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a resume checker do?
- It evaluates your resume the way screening actually happens: software parsing, keyword-based ranking against the job description, and recruiter-style review of relevance and impact, then reports a score and what to fix.
- Is CVAura's resume checker free?
- Yes. The score, subscores, and summary are free without an account. The complete keyword report with fixes is $2.99 per report or included with Pro.
- Do I need the job description?
- Yes, and that is the point: resumes are screened per job. Pasting the posting lets the checker measure the exact match an ATS ranks on instead of generic advice.
- Is my resume kept after the check?
- No. The file is parsed in memory and discarded. Only the structured results you choose to save to an account are kept.
