What Do Recruiters and Hiring Managers Really Think About Your Resume?
Get recruiter-grade insight and actionable feedback — not generic fluff. We’ll show you how your resume is really landing and exactly what to do next.
Your Resume Isn’t Broken — It’s Just Not Telling the Right Story (Yet)
Get clarity, confidence, and a strategy that actually works.
Outdated Job Search Experience
You haven’t looked for a job in years, and everything about the process feels unfamiliar
No Response After Applying
You’re applying to roles, but hearing crickets — and wondering what’s wrong
Struggling to Pivot
You’re pivoting industries or roles and don’t know how to explain your story
Difficulty Writing About Yourself
You’re great at your job, but when it comes to writing about yourself? Total blank
Frustrated by AI Tools
You’ve tried AI tools and templates, but they left you guessing
Resume Tells the Wrong Story
And deep down, you’re worried your resume is telling the wrong story — or worse, making you look riskier than you are
If that’s you, this isn’t just a resume review — it’s your turning point.
It’s where clarity replaces confusion, and strategy replaces guesswork.
The Real Problem Isn’t Just a Weak Resume — It’s the Guessing Game
You tweak a line, hit “Apply,” and wait.
No feedback. No responses. Just silence.
So you wonder:
Is my experience clear?
Am I saying the right things?
Or am I quietly being ruled out — and I don’t even know why?
The truth is: You can’t fix what you don’t understand.
And most resume advice? --> It’s just noise.
What you need is clarity.
Clarity on what your resume is actually saying.
What it’s signaling to recruiters.
What’s missing.
What’s raising red flags — and what’s getting overlooked.
Because until you know how your resume is being read, you’ll stay stuck in the loop — applying and hoping instead of improving and landing interviews.
Let’s change that.
Introducing: The Resume Reality Check
Finally — Know What Your Resume Is Actually Saying to Recruiters and Hiring Managers.
The Resume Reality Check is a recruiter-grade audit that shows you how your resume is landing — and exactly what to do next.
Built by an executive recruiter who’s sat across from hundreds of hiring managers, this isn’t some surface-level scan or generic critique.
It’s the clear, honest truth from someone who’s influenced thousands of real hiring decisions.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
An insider’s view
A recruiter’s honest take on how your resume is really coming across — what’s working, what’s raising questions, and what’s being overlooked.
Get the kind of feedback most people never hear.
Strategic feedback
Insight on how to reposition your experience and strengths so your resume aligns with the roles you actually want — not just the roles you’ve had.
This is about shaping your story to match where you're headed.
Actionable next steps you can trust
Specific, recruiter-informed guidance on what to rewrite, remove, or reposition so your resume tells the right story and gets results.
No fluff. Just real edits you can make today.
What You’ll Actually Get
(Hint: It’s More Than a Resume Review)
This isn’t just a resume review — it’s a clarity tool. A confidence builder. A straight-up reality check.
You’ll finally understand how your resume lands with decision-makers — and get a step-by-step plan to improve it.
Depending on the tier you choose, here’s what’s included:
✅ An Insider’s View – What recruiters really see when they read your resume — strengths, red flags, and perception risks you didn’t realize were there.
✅ Strategic Feedback – How to reposition your experience to support your next move — so your resume shows where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.
✅ Actionable Next Steps – Specific guidance on what to rewrite, reframe, or cut — so you’re not guessing what to fix.
✅ Resume Archetype Analysis – Understand the pattern your resume fits (e.g., Upward Mover, Career Switcher) — and how it influences first impressions.
✅ Top 3 Strengths Identified – Discover the unique value you bring to the table — and how to make it pop on paper.
✅ Formatting & Readability Check – We'll flag layout issues, visual distractions, and clarity gaps that could slow down a recruiter’s scan.
✅ Career Story & Title Progression Audit – See whether your job history tells a story of momentum or confusion — and how to make it compelling.
✅ Career Pivot & Transferability Insight – How clearly your experience translates across industries or roles — and where it needs support.
✅ Inconsistency & Credibility Review – Spot and fix signals that might raise doubts, from date overlaps to inflated claims.
✅ Relevance & Focus Check – Identify fluff, outdated experience, or vague language that might dilute your impact.
✅ 1:1 Resume Strategy Session (Premium Tier)– A 45-minute consult to workshop your messaging, clarify direction, and sharpen your positioning.

I’ve already paid for resume help before. What makes this different?
Most services rewrite. We reveal. You’ll understand how your resume actually lands with recruiters and hiring managers — no fluff, no filler. Just sharp, actionable insight.
Will this help me get more interviews?
That’s the goal. We can’t promise outcomes, but we've worked with many job seekers who I can almost guarantee you were getting prematurely disqualified because of shortcomings in their resume. We show you what’s holding your resume back — and how to fix it.
How do I know this is worth the money?
If we can’t identify meaningful ways to improve your resume, you’ll get your money back. It’s not a gamble — it’s a strategic checkpoint.
Do I really need this if I’m not actively job searching?
Yes — the best time to fix your resume is before you need it. When the right opportunity pops up, you’ll be ready.

Everything — from one-pagers to multi-page CVs, creative formats, technical resumes, and government-style documents.

We have operationalized more than a decade of experience as a recruiter and coupled that with sophisticated, proprietary prompt engineering to yield a set of consistent reviews that even an experience human recruiter cannot consistently cover in their analyses.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. Your resume and details are 100% confidential and used only for your review.
