What is a good resume score?

On ResumeGrade's 0–10 scale, 8 or above is strong and competitive, 5–7 means a solid resume with clear room to improve, and below 5 signals issues a recruiter or ATS would likely catch. Your score comes with a plain-English rationale, so you always know why — not just the number.

The overall score is built from the dimensions recruiters weigh most:

  • Experience

    Depth, relevance, and progression of your roles.

  • Achievement impact

    Quantified results versus vague responsibilities.

  • Technical skills

    Coverage and evidence of the skills your target role needs.

  • Structure & readability

    Layout, length, and how easily it scans.

  • ATS compatibility

    Parse rate and keyword match for the job.
