/score — ATS + HR Resume Scoring

Purpose

Evaluate resume against a job description using structured rubrics. Produces honest scores (target 75-85%, not inflated 100%).

ATS Rubric (8 Components)

Score each 1-10, then compute weighted average:

1. Keyword Match Rate (weight: 25%)

   • Count exact phrase matches between JD requirements and resume
   • Exact phrases correlate 10.6x with callbacks vs partial matches
   • Score: 9-10 = 90%+ phrases matched, 7-8 = 70-89%, 5-6 = 50-69%, <5 = below 50%

2. Keyword Density (weight: 15%)

   • Critical keywords should appear 2-4x across resume
   • Important keywords 1-2x
   • Score: 9-10 = optimal density, 5-6 = sparse, <5 = missing critical keywords

3. Section Completeness (weight: 10%)

   • Must have: Summary, Skills, Experience, Education
   • Nice to have: Projects, Certifications
   • Score: 10 = all sections present, -2 per missing required section

4. Format Compliance (weight: 10%)

   • Single-column layout, standard section headers
   • No tables, no multi-column, no images
   • Contact info in document body (not headers/footers)
   • Score: 10 = fully compliant, -3 per violation

5. Contact Info Completeness (weight: 5%)

   • Name, email, phone, LinkedIn, location
   • Score: 10 = all present, -2 per missing

6. Date Consistency (weight: 5%)

   • Consistent format (Month Year or Year only)
   • No gaps without explanation
   • Chronological ordering
   • Score: 10 = consistent, -2 per inconsistency

7. Length (weight: 10%)

   • Target: 1-2 pages for individual contributor, 2-3 for executive
   • Score: 10 = optimal, 7 = slightly over/under, <5 = significantly off

8. Skills-to-Experience Alignment (weight: 20%)

   • Every skill listed in Skills section should appear in at least one Experience bullet
   • "Orphan skills" (listed but never demonstrated) are red flags
   • Score: 10 = all skills demonstrated, -1 per orphan skill

HR Rubric (6 Dimensions)

Score each 1-10:

1. Role Relevance (weight: 25%)

   • How well does experience align with the JD's core requirements?
   • Are the most relevant roles/bullets prominently positioned?

2. Impact Clarity (weight: 20%)

   • Are achievements quantified with X-Y-Z formula?
   • Metrics present: revenue, %, time saved, scale, before/after

3. Career Progression (weight: 15%)

   • Does the trajectory show growth?
   • Are promotions and increasing scope visible?

4. Recency Weighting (weight: 15%)

   • Is the most relevant experience from the last 3-5 years?
   • Are recent roles given more space than older ones?

5. Readability (weight: 15%)

   • Bullet length (1-2 lines ideal)
   • Action verbs leading each bullet
   • Jargon-to-clarity ratio appropriate for the audience

6. Differentiation (weight: 10%)

   • What makes this candidate stand out?
   • Is there a unique combination of skills or experiences?

- 70-84: Good match — minor optimizations recommended
- 55-69: Moderate match — significant tailoring needed
- Below 55: Weak match — consider if this role is a stretch

Important

• Be HONEST. A perfect 100% is virtually impossible and dishonest.
• Target scores of 75-85% for well-matched roles.
• Provide actionable recommendations, not generic advice.
• Reference specific bullets and skills in your scoring notes.
