A resume review that fixes what actually gets you filtered
Most resume reviews focus on wording and design. But before any human reads your resume, software does — more than 90% of employers surveyed use an applicant tracking system to filter or rank candidates (Harvard Business School, 2021). If that parser scrambles your layout or your resume is missing the job's keywords, a strong candidate stays invisible no matter how polished the prose is.
This review targets that layer directly. Paste your resume (and the job description) and you get a data-backed read on exactly what the ATS sees: a parse-quality score, a category breakdown, the keywords you're missing for that specific job, and bullet rewrite blueprints. The score and top findings are free, so you can judge the quality before you spend a cent.

When a human reviewer is still worth it
Be honest about what each tool is for. If you need strategic career positioning, a full ghost-written rewrite, or industry-specific narrative coaching, a great human writer earns their fee. But if you're applying now and need to know why you're not getting callbacks — and fix the ATS and keyword gaps fast — an instant $9 review gets you there today, and you can always layer a human review on top later.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a resume review cost?
A professional human resume review or rewrite typically runs $100–400 and takes days. An automated, data-backed review focused on what an applicant tracking system actually does costs far less: ATSGrader gives you the score, category breakdown and top issues free, and the full line-by-line report — every issue with locations, all missing keywords, and bullet rewrites — for a one-time $9, no subscription.
Is a $9 resume review actually any good?
It's good at the part that gets most resumes filtered before a human ever reads them: how the ATS parses your file and which job-description keywords you're missing. You see your real score and top findings free first, so you can judge the quality before paying. What it does not do is replace a human career coach's judgement on strategy or tone — for the mechanical ATS layer, it's faster and far cheaper than a $200 review.
What's the difference between a resume review service and an ATS checker?
A traditional resume review service is usually a human reading your resume for wording, structure and impact — slow and expensive. An ATS checker is automated and focuses on whether the software can parse your resume and whether it matches the job's keywords. ATSGrader is the automated kind: instant, private (runs in your browser), and built specifically around how applicant tracking systems read and rank resumes.
Do you write or rewrite my resume for me?
We don't ghost-write your resume, but the $9 report gives you bullet rewrite blueprints — your weak bullets rewritten into strong, quantified, ATS-friendly versions you can paste in and adapt. You stay in control of your resume; we show you exactly what to change and how.
Is the resume review private?
Yes. The entire analysis runs in your browser — your resume is never uploaded to a server, and there's no account or email required. You can confirm it in your browser's network tab: nothing leaves your device.
