A live 0 to 100 score grades your resume the way a recruiter would: missing dates, weak phrasing like responsible for, no quantified impact, too few skills. Each check links straight to the section to fix, so you ship a stronger resume without guessing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers. Contact us if you can't find what you're looking for.

Is the resume builder really free?

Yes. The core resume builder is free forever. You get all 10 templates, 13 resume sections, full color and font customization, unlimited resume drafts, and ATS-friendly PDF export with no watermark and no credit card. The optional AI features (job-tailoring, bullet rewriting, summary generation) run on daily credits and are part of ApplyCove Pro, but you never need them to build and download a complete resume.

Are the PDF resumes ATS-friendly?

Yes. Every template exports to a clean, text-based PDF that applicant tracking systems can parse correctly. There are no images, text-in-graphics, or unusual columns that break ATS extraction. Your name, contact details, headings, and bullet points are all selectable real text, which is exactly what ATS parsers and recruiter search rely on.

Do I need to sign up to use it?

You create a free ApplyCove account so your resumes save automatically and you can come back to edit them anytime. There is no payment required to build and export a resume. Sign in once and your drafts, templates, and customizations are all stored to your account.

Can I import my existing resume?

Yes. Upload your current resume as a PDF and ApplyCove parses it into structured, editable sections automatically: basics, experience, education, skills, projects, and more. You then refine the content, pick a template, and export. Import uses AI credits, and free accounts get enough daily credits for around two imports per day.

What is the resume match score?

When you paste a job description, the AI tailoring feature scores how well your resume matches it from 0 to 100, lists the keywords you already have, flags important keywords you are missing, and suggests a tailored headline, summary, and stronger bullet points. Match scoring and AI tailoring are part of ApplyCove Pro. The completeness audit score (which rates your resume quality on its own) is free.

Is there a watermark on the exported PDF?

No. Exported resumes have no ApplyCove watermark, branding, or footer. The PDF is yours to send to any recruiter or upload to any job portal.

How does the resume builder connect to auto-apply?

The resume builder is the first step. Once your resume is tailored to a role, ApplyCove's main product can run supervised application sessions on Naukri and LinkedIn, filling forms and answering screening questions on your authorized browser while you watch. Build the resume free, then let ApplyCove apply at scale on a schedule you control.
