3 Claude Prompts That Grade Your Resume Like a Recruiter

promptYou are a senior recruiter screening candidates for the job post above. Grade my attached resume against this exact job.

Score it out of 100 using this breakdown:
- Required skills and qualifications: 40 points
- Relevant experience (level, industry, scope): 25 points
- Measurable results (numbers, outcomes): 15 points
- Matching the posting's language and job title: 10 points
- Clarity and readability (could a recruiter scan it in 10 seconds?): 10 points

For each part, give the points, then quote the line from my resume and the line from the job post that justify it.

Then give me:
1. The total score out of 100
2. The three biggest reasons the score isn't higher
3. The single change that would raise it the most

Rules: only use what is actually written in my resume. Don't assume skills I didn't list. If the job post is missing information you need, tell me instead of guessing.

promptNow compare my resume to the job post word by word.

PART 1: THE 5 MISSING KEYWORDS
List the five most important skills, tools or phrases from the job post that are missing from my resume or only weakly covered. For each one:
- the exact wording from the job post
- why it matters for this role (is it in the requirements or just a nice-to-have?)
- a question to ask me, so we can find out whether I really have this experience
Do not add any keyword to my resume yet. I only want to add the ones that are true.

PART 2: THE 3 RED FLAGS
List the three things a hiring manager for this role would most likely question when reading my resume. For example: an unexplained gap, a job title that doesn't match the role, short stints, vague bullets with no results, or a resume that is too long. For each red flag:
- quote the part of my resume that causes it
- explain how a hiring manager might read it
- give one honest way to fix or explain it

promptRewrite every bullet point on my resume for this job.

For each bullet:
- Start with a strong action verb.
- Say what I did, then the result.
- Use the job post's wording where it truthfully fits, including any keywords I confirmed above.
- Keep it to one or two lines.

NUMBERS RULE: never invent a number, percentage, dollar amount or team size. If a bullet has no real number yet, put a placeholder like [# of clients] or [% faster] and ask me one specific question to find the real figure (how many, how much, how often, how fast, compared to what). If I say I don't know, rewrite the bullet without a number.

Show the result as a table: Original bullet | Rewritten bullet | Question for me (if any).

At the end, list every placeholder I still need to fill in.
