What Does a Resume Checker Look For?
A resume checker analyses your resume against a job description and against best-practice standards. Jumproo's checker covers four key dimensions:
- ATS compatibility — formatting issues that prevent parsing (tables, columns, graphics)
- Keyword match — which terms from the job description are present or missing
- Content quality — vague language, missing metrics, passive voice
- Structure completeness — are all required sections present and correctly formatted

Understanding Your Resume Score
Jumproo gives you a Match Score from 0–100 based on keyword alignment with the job description. Here's how to interpret it:
- 80–100: Strong match — you're well-positioned. Minor tweaks may help.
- 60–79: Good foundation — a few missing keywords are holding you back
- 40–59: Significant gaps — you'll likely fail the ATS filter without changes
- Below 40: Poor match — this role may need significant resume customisation
- Target: Get to 75+ before submitting any application
Common Resume Issues the Checker Finds
These are the most common issues flagged by Jumproo's resume checker:
- Missing keywords from the job description (found in 82% of resumes)
- Vague bullet points without metrics ('Responsible for...' instead of achievements)
- Multi-column layouts that confuse ATS parsers
- Generic professional summary not tailored to the role
- Outdated skills or irrelevant experience taking up prime real estate
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the resume checker free?
Yes — check your resume against any job description completely free. No account or credit card required.
How accurate is the AI resume checker?
Jumproo's checker is trained on ATS patterns from major platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo. It catches keyword gaps and formatting issues with high reliability.
How often should I check my resume?
Every time you apply for a different role. Even small changes to a job description change the keywords you need. A 5-minute check before each application is worth it.
Can the resume checker improve my writing?
It flags weak language patterns — passive voice, vague verbs, missing metrics — and suggests alternatives. The AI rewriting tool then helps you rephrase specific bullets.
What's the difference between a resume checker and a spell checker?
A spell checker only catches typos. A resume checker analyses ATS compatibility, keyword match against the specific job, content quality, and structural completeness.
