Dual-method scoring: deterministic checks + AI content analysis
A resume score is a 0 to 100 baseline rating of how well your resume is optimized for applicant tracking systems (ATS), independent of any single job posting. Treat it as a starting point to improve: WriteCV.ai grades structure, keyword relevance (40%), content quality (35%), and quantified impact (25%), then gives per-bullet suggestions that take the average user from 62 to 87. A score of 85 or above is rated Excellent, 80 to 84 is Good, and anything below 80 Needs Work. To tailor that resume to a specific role, use JD Match, which scores it against that posting's required skills.
| Dimension | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Keywords | 40% | Role-specific terms and action verbs that ATS systems scan for. |
| Content | 35% | Whether bullets are specific, achievement-focused, and relevant to the target role. |
| Impact | 25% | Whether bullets are quantified with metrics and measurable outcomes. |
| Structure | Deterministic | Formatting, section ordering, contact info, date consistency, and ATS-safe layout. |
