ClearScan

ClearScan is a transparent ATS resume scanner built for students and job seekers who want to understand why their resume is failing automated screening, not just get a score.

Most resume tools give you a black-box percentage and leave you guessing. ClearScan shows the actual math behind every score - which keyword only appears in your Skills section instead of your Experience (and why that matters for how ATS platforms actually parse resumes), which bullet points lack quantification or relevance to the job description, and which specific lines will break parsing on Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, Lever, or iCIMS.

Key features:

Mr. Lens simulates the real six-second window a recruiter actually spends looking at a resume, showing what catches attention and what gets missed entirely.

Job Sheets is a free, fully customizable spreadsheet built directly into ClearScan for tracking every application from Applied to Offer.

Compare Jobs checks one resume against up to three job descriptions side by side, so you know exactly where you're the strongest fit.

Under the hood, ClearScan runs on a custom-built scoring engine — TF-IDF keyword extraction, real O*NET occupational data from the US Department of Labor, named-entity recognition, and rule-based bullet analysis across five real ATS platform profiles. There's no AI model guessing at your resume and no black box. The same resume scored twice returns the same result, because every number traces back to actual, auditable logic.

ClearScan is free to start — 2 scans per month, no credit card required. Full access starts at €3.99/month, a fraction of what most established tools in this category charge.

Built by a solo student founder, actively shipping — recent updates include a full scoring-accuracy audit driven by real user feedback, with fixes verified against live resumes before shipping
