  1. 1

    Check where you stand

    Upload your current resume to the free ATS checker, or start from scratch. You'll get an ATS score plus the exact keywords a recruiter for your target role screens for — matched and missing.

    Already have a resume? The analyzer parses it the way an ATS does and shows you what breaks and what's missing before you change a thing.

  2. 2

    Generate role-specific content

    Enter your experience and target job title. WolfResume loads the section schema and vocabulary recruiters expect for that role and rewrites your work into measurable, outcome-driven bullets — not a template you fight with.

    Add the job posting you're targeting and it tailors the language to that specific description.

    Preview it — free — before you pay

    You see your full ATS match score and a live preview of the resume: header, first role, bullets, and structure. No blind purchase. If it's not right, you don't pay.

    This is the step most builders hide. We put it first.

See step 2 on real resumes

Here’s the “generate role-specific content” step on real résumés across three roles — the input, the result, and why every bullet changed.

1 · The résumé they had

Target: Data Analyst

A qualified data analyst — but every bullet reads like a job description: duty-speak, no numbers. A recruiter skims it in seconds.

3 · What our free ATS scanner catches first

Before anyone pays, the free scanner flags exactly what’s holding the original back — bullet by bullet. This is that scanner’s real output on the résumé above.
