About HireFlow

HireFlow is a browser-based ATS resume checker for job seekers who want to identify parsing, formatting, structure, and keyword problems before submitting an application. Users can upload a PDF or DOCX file up to 5MB without creating an account. The checker runs 27 checks across seven categories and returns an ATS score with concrete fixes, typically in about 30 seconds. The toolkit also includes a resume builder, job-match scoring, a cover-letter generator, CV checking, an ATS score explainer, and a LinkedIn profile optimizer. A practical workflow is a quick pre-application review and tailoring workflow: scan an existing resume, correct issues that could confuse an applicant tracking system, compare it with a specific job posting, then rebuild or rescan as needed. Core tools are free, while professional resume writing is a separate paid service advertised from $29. Uploaded resumes contain sensitive career and contact information, which makes the privacy policy relevant to an adoption decision.
