Free CV review against a job description

Find out why your CV is passed over, before you send it again.

Risenoow's CV review is a free read of your CV against the actual job description, not against a keyword machine. You get a score out of a hundred, every gap in the order that matters, and a fix for each one you can make today.

Free, no card Only you see this score Nothing reaches an employer until you apply

Three ways to give us the job: paste the whole advert, give us a link to it, or just tell us the role title. A check against a title alone is labelled an estimate wherever the number appears.

The output, as the proof

CV score for Senior Backend Engineer 72 / 100

Where 72 sits

0Lowest scored for this kind of roleMedian100

Shown against every CV assessed for this kind of role, with the sample size stated. Under thirty comparable scores, a plain guide replaces the number.

1The role asks for ownership of a service in production; your CV shows the work but never the outcome. Fix today: add the uptime, the latency or the cost figure you actually moved.

2Nothing on the CV names the database the advert lists three times. Fix today: name it where you used it, even in a side project.

This scores your CV alone against this job. It is not your interview, and it is not the score an employer sees when you apply.

What a CV review gives you

A CV score out of a hundred, and every gap in the order that matters.

The gaps are ordered by importance and each one is written as something you can act on. The review also lists what your CV already proves, so the reading is not only a list of shortcomings.

Already evidenced

The benchmark Where your score sits against other CVs checked for this kind of role, stated as measured with the sample size shown. When there is not enough data to be honest about it, you get a plain guide instead of a persuasive number with nothing behind it.

Advice that respects you A gap is never "get citizenship", "relocate" or "come back with more years". Advice that would tell you to acquire something you cannot change is refused in code, not only asked against in a prompt.

[The gap, named in the words of the advert.]

Close the gaps in your own words

Talk through your gaps with someone who is not judging you.

The review ends with a short set of questions written to close the named gaps. Answer them by typing, or have a guided spoken session where an interviewer talks you through them in a voice deliberately unlike a screener, because nobody is judging you here.

These are about your CV and this job. No employer sees your answers.

What you say folds into your career profile, so the next job you check starts from a fuller picture rather than the same CV.

A newer CV never overwrites something you edited by hand. It is offered as a suggestion you can take or leave.

The rewrite

A rewritten CV that invents nothing, then scores it again.

The rewrite is built only from what your CV already says and what you told us in the questions. No achievement, metric, tool or date you did not give us, because you are the one who has to talk to it in an interview.

Measured, not asserted. The rewrite is scored against the same job a second time and the two numbers sit side by side.

Line by line. Every changed line shows the original struck through, the new wording, and one sentence on why a recruiter cares about the difference.

Plain text first. Copy it anywhere. It is yours, and it costs nothing.

Scored against the same job 72 to 84 out of 100

Preview with my CV

A library that grows from real designs.Templates with a photo you control, a skills column with levels, languages, interests and a portfolio link, in one column, two columns or a sidebar. Each new design is checked against a short and a long sample CV before it is offered.

Every card states its layout.One column or two, and one plain line on how well automated parsers read it. The plain text version sits beside every download for the software that cannot read columns.

Nothing is invented to fill a slot.A section your CV does not have is hidden, never filled with a placeholder or a guess. No date of birth, nationality or marital status is ever asked for or shown.

A review runs while you wait and opens the finished page. If it cannot finish in the moment it is queued and retried, the history says so, and an email arrives when it is ready. A review a failure never finished is refunded to your allowance rather than counted against you.

Questions people ask first

Frequently asked questions about the free CV review.

Is the Risenoow CV review free?Yes. One CV review per job is free, two CV templates are free forever, any CV can be taken in a free template the moment it is uploaded, and no card is asked for.

How is this different from a resume checker?A resume checker scores your CV against keywords a machine reads. Risenoow reads it against the actual job description, gives fixes you can make today, and the employer reads the same evidence when you apply.

Does the employer see my CV score?No. Your CV score is yours alone. An employer only ever sees their own report on your application, and only ever sees the CV attached to their own application.

What if I do not have the job advert?Give us a link and we will read it where the site allows, or just tell us the role title. A check run from a title alone is labelled an estimate wherever the score appears.

Will the rewrite make things up about me?No. The rewrite is built only from what your CV says and what you told us. No achievement, metric, tool or date you did not give us, because you have to talk to it in an interview.

How long does a review take?It runs while you wait. Paste the job, press the button, and the finished review opens. If it cannot finish in the moment it is queued and retried, and an email arrives when it is ready.
