Different reviewer types weight different signals, sometimes they disagree on the same resume. See how ATS scans, startup founders, enterprise recruiters, and hiring managers would evaluate a software engineer resume.
No credit card required · Recruiter intelligence + ATS analysis
Six reviewer types
Recruiter simulation surfaces what each type of reviewer notices, what they would question, and where they would push back on the resume.
Pattern matching against required keywords, formatting parseability, and basic structure checks. Roughly 75% of resumes don't make it past this layer.
Initial scan looking at job title progression, recognizable companies, and the most recent role. Decides whether to continue reading.
Reads for technical depth, scope match, and whether the candidate has shipped relevant work in similar environments.
Reads for ownership language, breadth, and signals of comfort with ambiguity. Process-heavy resumes get filtered out.
Reads for scale signals, governance fluency, cross-functional partnership, and methodology depth.
Reads for engineering depth, specific tooling fluency, debugging examples, system design judgment, and production-ownership signals.
