How Resumly Works
A strong resume is not just about design. It also needs the right wording, the right structure, and the right keywords for the role you are targeting. Resumly combines all three so job seekers can move from a rough draft to an application-ready resume much faster.
Step 1 — Upload or build your resume
Start from scratch in the builder or upload your current PDF or DOCX. This gives you a fast way to move from an old resume to a structured, editable version.
Step 2 — Run the ATS score checker
Get a realistic ATS score with keyword, skills, and structure feedback. Instead of guessing what recruiters want, you can see how an applicant tracking system reads your resume.
Step 3 — Paste the job description
Add the target job description so the platform knows what role you are aiming for. This improves keyword matching and helps the AI prioritize the skills and experience that matter most.
Step 4 — Let AI optimize for that role
Use AI to rewrite bullets, strengthen summaries, and improve skill coverage for the exact job you want. The goal is to make your resume clearer, more specific, and more relevant.
Step 5 — Download and apply with confidence
Preview the final resume, choose the template that fits you best, and download a polished PDF. You go into applications with a resume that is optimized for both recruiters and ATS systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the resume score checker work?
The resume score checker reviews your resume for structure, keyword relevance, skill coverage, and common ATS issues. It then gives a realistic score along with breakdowns and recommendations so you know what to improve.
What is considered a good ATS score?
A good score depends on the role and job description, but strong general resumes usually land in the healthy range rather than an unrealistic 99 or 100. The more important part is understanding the deductions and missing keywords behind the score.
Can I re-check my score after editing the resume?
Yes. You can update the resume, rewrite bullets, improve skills, and then run the score again to see whether your changes made the document more competitive.
Does the score checker show missing keywords?
Yes. Resumly highlights matched and missing keywords so you can better align your resume to the target role without stuffing irrelevant terms into the document.
Can I tailor the resume score for different companies?
Yes. By using a different job description for each application, you can measure how your resume fits one employer versus another and tailor the content more precisely.
