Resume AI-Tool to help you build CVs ATS compatible

Resume will only be uploaded under the workflow only if it passes the AI

The hygiene points being checked by this tool:

No Grammatical or Spelling mistakes
Resume points should start with Action verb
Resume points should be quantitatively defined, and quantitative value should be in the beginning 1/3rd of the resume point sentence.
Resume point length should not be too long or too short
Resume points should be in active voice
Sentiment of your resume points should be either positive or neutral.
Resume points should be objective and not open to subjective interpretations.

Please note

AI will check the above parameters though, in case you do not agree with any of the suggestions shared, you can point out results points which you do not agree with and need further clarity on.
We encourage all of you to use this feature and share your feedback so that the tech team can make further improvisations based on the inputs and feedback shared by all of you.
In the initial stages, you might be able to submit your resume anyway ignoring the AI results. However, we recommend that you work on the resume based on the AI results and try to get it passed through it.

Some quick tips to help you update your Linkedin profile
