Free Resume Score (0-100)
A resume score is a 0-100 rating of how well your resume matches a specific job posting, the way an applicant tracking system ranks it. CVAura breaks the score into five graded parts: keyword match (40), experience relevance (25), impact (15), seniority signals (10), and ATS readability (10). Upload your resume and paste the posting to get your score free, with no signup.

What a good resume score looks like
A resume score only means something against a specific posting; the same resume can score 85 for one role and 40 for another. As a rule of thumb: 75 and above is competitive, 50-74 means targeted fixes will move you up the ranking, and below 50 usually signals a keyword mismatch with the posting rather than a weak career. That is why CVAura scores your resume against the exact job description you paste, never a generic rubric.
How the five subscores add up
The total is the sum of five graded parts. Keyword match (up to 40 points) measures the posting's hard skills and qualifications found in your resume. Experience relevance (25) weighs depth and recency of matching roles. Impact (15) rewards quantified outcomes. Seniority (10) checks leadership and scope signals against what the role asks. Readability (10) checks that structure and headings parse cleanly. The subscores tell you exactly where the points went missing.
From score to interview
The score is a diagnosis; the fix is targeted editing. The full report lists every matched and missing keyword for the posting plus specific rewrites ranked by impact, so raising a 57 to a 75 is a checklist, not guesswork.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good resume score?
- Against a specific posting, 75+ is competitive, 50-74 is fixable with targeted keyword and evidence edits, and below 50 usually means the resume is not speaking the posting's language yet. Scores are per-job, not absolute.
- How do I check my resume score for free?
- Upload your resume as a PDF, paste the job description, and the 0-100 score with all five subscores appears in about 30 seconds. No account or card is needed.
- Why is my resume score low?
- The most common cause is missing hard keywords the posting names explicitly; keyword match is worth 40 of the 100 points. The subscores show whether keywords, quantified impact, or formatting cost you the most.
- Does the score change per job posting?
- Yes, by design. The score measures fit against the posting you paste, exactly as an applicant tracking system ranks you per job, so re-check for each application.
