Resume score online, free: a number you can actually act on
A score is only useful if it tells you what to change. KlarCV breaks your resume into measurable parts — parse quality, content completeness, keyword coverage and readability — and ranks the fixes by how much each one moves the result.
The template opens straight in your workspace — even if you have never saved it before.
The four inputs behind the score
Each dimension is calculated separately so you can see where the points are lost.
- Parse rate — how much text an ATS recovers from your file
- Completeness — required fields, dates without gaps, contact details
- Keyword coverage — overlap with the job ad you paste in
- Readability — bullet length, verb strength, quantified results
Prioritised fixes, not a checklist dump
Findings are ordered by impact: a missing phone number or an unreadable header outranks a wording nit. Each one links straight to the field in the editor, and the score updates as soon as you edit.
Track the score across versions
Save versions of the same resume for different roles and compare their scores side by side. The archive keeps the layout with each version, so re-opening an older application shows exactly what you sent.
Frequently asked questions
- What resume score should I aim for?
- Above 85 overall, with parse rate at 90% or higher. Below that, something structural is usually blocking extraction.
- Does the score depend on the job I apply for?
- Partly. Parse and completeness are job-independent; keyword coverage changes with every job description you paste in.
- Do I need an account to see my score?
- No. You can score a resume in the browser; an account is only needed to save versions across devices.
