Expert Resume Review by Real Professionals
Get your resume reviewed by working professionals at top tech companies - Google, Microsoft, TikTok, Amazon, Uber, and more. Unlike AI tools that give generic, template-based feedback, our human reviewers understand hiring context, industry norms, and what actually gets candidates shortlisted. Each review is delivered to your inbox within three business days.
What Makes an Expert Review Different From AI Feedback
AI resume tools are excellent for catching obvious issues - missing keywords, weak action verbs, formatting problems - but they miss the nuance that gets candidates hired. A human reviewer who has actually screened resumes for senior roles at top companies can tell you whether your bullet point sounds like a duty or an achievement, whether your summary positions you for the role you want, and whether the way you've framed your experience would survive a recruiter's seven-second scan. That kind of judgment-based feedback is what an expert review provides.
How the Expert Review Process Works
Upload your resume as a PDF or Word document (up to 4 MB). Tell us about your target role and industry. A matched reviewer with experience in that field analyses your resume line by line and writes a detailed report covering: content clarity, impact of bullet points, structure and visual hierarchy, ATS compatibility, keyword alignment for your target role, and specific rewrite suggestions you can apply immediately. You receive the full report by email within three business days.
Who Reviews Your Resume
Our reviewers are current professionals at companies including Google, Microsoft, TikTok, Amazon, and Uber. Each has hands-on hiring or recruitment experience and knows what their company's recruiters look for. We match your resume with a reviewer whose background aligns with your target role - so a software engineering applicant gets a reviewer with engineering hiring experience, a product manager gets one with PM hiring experience, and so on.
What You Get in Your Review Report
A line-by-line critique of every section. Honest scoring on clarity, impact, ATS compatibility, and alignment with your target role. Specific rewrite suggestions you can copy directly into your resume. Strengths called out so you know what to keep. A prioritised list of fixes ranked by impact. The full report is delivered to your email within three business days, and you keep it for reference whenever you update your resume.

Rohan M., Senior software engineer at Google
Rohan has worked on distributed storage at Google for the last six years after three years at an India-based fintech. He has personally interviewed over 200 software engineering candidates across L4 to L6, with a focus on backend and infrastructure roles, and has reviewed roughly 1,500 resumes in the new-grad pipeline.
Specialises in: Backend systems, Distributed infrastructure, New-grad SDE hiring, L4 to L6 interviews.
I read the first three bullets and decide whether the candidate writes about systems they actually built or systems they read about. The framing decides whether I keep reading.
Aisha R., Principal product manager at Microsoft
Aisha leads a Copilot productivity workstream at Microsoft and has hired product managers at three previous tech companies, including a Series C startup and a Fortune 500 enterprise. She reviews roughly 60 PM resumes a quarter as a hiring manager and has coached over 200 mid-career switchers into PM roles.
Specialises in: B2B SaaS, AI productivity, PM hiring (IC to senior), Mid-career switchers.
The summary line is the hiring decision. If it does not tell me whether you are an IC, a senior, or a coach, you have wasted my first ten seconds.
Priya S., Senior design lead at TikTok
Priya leads creator-tools design at TikTok and previously spent four years at a Big Four consulting firm. She hires senior product designers and has reviewed design portfolios alongside resumes for hundreds of candidates. Her cross-functional background means she also reads consulting and HR resumes with a structural lens.
Specialises in: Product design, Design systems, Consulting and HR resumes, Senior IC hiring.
A resume is a writing sample before it is anything else. If the structure breaks down in the first half, I assume the work will too.
Vikram S., Director of strategy and ops at Uber
Vikram leads regional strategy and ops at Uber after starting his career in investment banking and spending five years in MBB consulting. He has hired across sales, ops, and finance functions in both US and Gulf markets and has personally reviewed executive resumes for board-track placements.
Specialises in: Sales and ops resumes, Finance resumes, Executive narrative, US and Gulf markets.
Numbers per bullet, every time. If a sales or finance bullet has no quota or no deal size, I assume the candidate is hiding the answer.
Sanya K., Senior recruiter at Amazon
Sanya is a senior technical recruiter at Amazon and has previously recruited for a Series B startup and a Big Four consulting firm. She screens roughly 400 resumes a week through the Amazon ATS and has trained junior recruiters on what survives the first-pass filter.
Specialises in: ATS screening, New-grad and intern hiring, Resume formatting, Keyword optimisation.
Most resumes get killed by the ATS, not the human. Formatting, keyword density, and section order decide whether a recruiter ever sees you.
