Every resume analyzed by Resume Check Karo receives a numeric score between 0 and 100 for each of five evaluation dimensions, plus a single overall score that summarizes how well the resume fits the target role. Scores are generated by Google Gemini AI, which is explicitly instructed to be critical — a resume with genuine weaknesses will receive genuinely low scores.Documentation Index

Overall Score
The overall score is a weighted aggregate of all five category scores, expressed on a 0–100 scale. It appears prominently at the top of your feedback report and gives you an at-a-glance measure of resume strength relative to the specific job description you provided.Because the overall score is calculated against a specific company, job title, and job description, the same resume may receive different scores when analyzed against different roles. A score of 85 for a senior engineering role and 60 for a product management role is expected and correct behavior.
Score Tiers
Your score badges are color-coded based on three tiers, making it easy to identify where your resume stands at a glance.| Score Range | Label | Badge Style | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 – 100 | Good | Green (default) | This dimension is strong. Minor improvements may still be available. |
| 60 – 79 | Needs Improvement | Grey (secondary) | Meaningful gaps exist. Review the “improve” tips for this category. |
| 0 – 59 | Poor | Red (destructive) | Significant issues detected. Prioritize these sections before applying. |
The AI is instructed that low scores are acceptable and that it should not inflate scores to appear encouraging. A red badge reflects a genuine deficiency that the model identified in the resume text relative to the job description.
Evaluation Dimensions
Your resume is scored across five distinct dimensions. Each produces an independent score and 3–4 actionable tips. The sections below explain exactly what the model evaluates in each category.ATS Compatibility
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility measures how well your resume survives automated parsing and keyword matching before it ever reaches a human recruiter. The model evaluates:- Keyword density — whether role-critical terms from the job description appear in your resume
- Formatting compatibility — absence of tables, multi-column layouts, headers/footers, and graphics that confuse parsers
- Parsing friendliness — standard section headings (
Experience,Education,Skills) and consistent date formatting that ATS software expects
Tone & Style
Tone & Style evaluates the language and voice used throughout the resume to determine whether it projects professionalism and fits industry norms. The model evaluates:- Professional language — avoidance of informal phrasing, slang, or overly casual vocabulary
- Appropriate voice — consistent use of first-person implied active voice (e.g., “Led a team of 8” rather than “Was responsible for leading”)
- Industry standards — alignment with the expected register for the target role and seniority level; language appropriate for a startup may differ from that expected at an enterprise company
Content Quality
Content Quality measures how relevant, impactful, and evidence-based the actual substance of your resume is relative to the job requirements. The model evaluates:- Relevance to the job — whether the experience and accomplishments described map to the responsibilities in the job description
- Achievements vs. duties — bullet points that describe outcomes and impact rather than just listing responsibilities
- Quantified results — presence of metrics, percentages, dollar figures, or other concrete numbers that demonstrate magnitude of impact
Structure & Formatting
Structure & Formatting assesses the visual and organizational quality of the resume layout, independently of the content within it. The model evaluates:- Layout clarity — logical flow from summary through experience, education, and skills
- Section organization — presence of clearly labeled, conventionally ordered sections
- Readability — appropriate use of white space, consistent font sizing implied by heading hierarchy, and bullet point parallelism
Skills Relevance
Skills Relevance measures how well the skills you list or demonstrate throughout the resume align with what the target role requires. The model evaluates:- Technical skills alignment — whether the hard skills and tools mentioned in your resume match those specified or implied by the job description
- Soft skills alignment — presence of behavioral competencies (e.g., communication, leadership, collaboration) that the role calls for
- Keyword presence — explicit listing of in-demand skills from the posting in a dedicated skills section or naturally within experience bullets
- Skill demonstration — evidence of skills in action within work experience, not just listed as a bare keyword
