Overview / Description
Rate My CV is an AI resume-scoring tool that analyzes resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles against job descriptions for job seekers who want to pass ATS filters and impress human recruiters. The tool delivers an ATS compatibility score in 30 seconds across five dimensions — ATS compatibility, keyword match, impact language, structure, and formatting — without requiring any account creation. Users can paste a job description to receive targeted keyword gap analysis, showing exactly which terms are missing and where. Beyond the basic resume scan, Rate My CV also scores cover letters on role relevance, persuasive impact, structure, and professional tone, and can evaluate a combined application for cross-document consistency and narrative strength. A recruiter scan simulation shows how a hiring manager might visually process the document. The tool's AI rewrite feature produces before-and-after bullet-point suggestions to sharpen impact language, and a LinkedIn rewrite module lets users align their profile with their revised resume. Rate My CV processes all documents in memory and does not store or share uploaded data. The free tier provides three full scans with no sign-up, making it accessible for quick checks before an application deadline. One-time paid options are available for full resume or LinkedIn rewrites at a flat fee.
