I built resumeiq.io as a solo full-time software engineering student. It's free no account needed
I down below is an explanation on how the grading works
ATS Score — this isn't an ATS system itself. It scores your resume against what real ATS systems expect clean formatting, proper section structure, and keyword alignment with the job description. The same signals that cause Workday, Greenhouse, or Lever to rank a resume higher or filter it out.
It's intentionally strict. Most resumes score between 50 and 80. A 90+ has to be earned. The model is explicitly told not to inflate if your formatting is off, your keywords are weak, or your structure is broken, the score reflects that without sugar-coating it.
Recruiter Score context-aware. A student applying to internships isn't graded on the same curve as a senior engineer. It looks at achievement quality, career narrative, and first impression the stuff a human recruiter actually notices in the first 10 seconds.
Vague bullets like "Collaborated with team members" or "Responsible for tasks" WILL score low here for a reason, they carry zero keyword value and zero impact signal. They tell a recruiter nothing about what you built, what you used, or what changed because of you. The score reflects that directly rather you should focus on quantified metrics.
