Your resume passed the checker. So why is no one calling?
A score out of 100 can't tell you why recruiters keep saying no. Lumora reads your resume the way a recruiter does — six seconds, red pen in hand — and puts the reason in writing. Free, in about a minute.

A score without a reason is a horoscope.
Most resume checkers work the same way: count the keywords, measure the margins, check the dates parse, then hand you a number. 74/100. Maybe a colour bar and a tip about action verbs.
Here's what that number can't do: explain a single rejection. Two resumes can both score 80 and be failing for opposite reasons — one reads two levels too junior for the role, the other has no evidence of impact anywhere on the page. Same score, completely different fix.
The question you actually have isn't “what's my score?” It's “why is no one calling me back?” — and that takes a diagnosis, not a grade.
What actually gets checked in the first six seconds
Lumora's diagnosis is built on real recruiter screening logic — the checks a human runs before deciding whether you're worth a second look.
Level match
Does the title say senior while the bullets read mid-level? That mismatch alone kills more applications than formatting ever will.
Quantified impact
Numbers a recruiter can scan in seconds — %, $, time saved, team size. No numbers reads as no impact.
Role fit against the ad
The must-have keywords and experience from the actual job ad, visible in the first scan — not buried on page two.
Reasons to say no
Gaps, job-hopping signals, vague titles, template smell. Recruiters screen out before they screen in.
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) parse
Whether recruiter software can read your file at all — a real check, but only one of five, not the whole story.
The free diagnosis gives you all five as scores — HireScore, ATS (Applicant Tracking System) parse, job match — plus missing keywords, red flags, and the part no checker gives you: the reason, written out, with your top fixes ranked.

Questions people actually ask
Is the resume checker actually free?
Yes. Upload your resume and you get the full check free: a HireScore out of 100, ATS (Applicant Tracking System) parse and job-match scores, missing keywords, recruiter red flags and a written verdict with your top fixes — plus a free fix of your summary and weakest bullets. No credit card, no trial, nothing to cancel. You only pay if you want your resume tailored to a specific job ad — A$19 one-time.
Is this an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume checker?
It includes one — the diagnosis checks whether recruiter software can parse your file and which keywords from the job ad are missing. But it goes further, because most rejections aren't ATS (Applicant Tracking System) failures: they're fit and signal problems a parser can't see. You get the ATS check and the recruiter-style read on top of it.
What happens after I upload my resume?
You upload a PDF, Word or text file (or paste the text), optionally paste a job ad, and in minutes you get your results: scores, missing keywords, red flags and a free fix of your summary and weakest bullets. From there it's your call — keep the free fix, or pay A$19 once to have the resume tailored to a specific job ad.
Can I check my resume against a specific job ad?
Yes, and it's the best way to use the checker. Paste the ad and the diagnosis is scored against that role — keyword match, role fit, level match. Without an ad you still get a full general diagnosis; it's just less targeted.
Will Lumora invent experience to improve my score?
Never. The rewrite only works with what's genuinely in your resume — it never fabricates employers, skills, qualifications or metrics. Invented numbers are the thing that gets people caught in interviews, so refusing to make things up is a hard rule, not a setting.
Is my resume private?
Yes. Your resume is used to build your diagnosis and nothing else — it's never shared or sold. The details are in the privacy policy, in plain language.
