Kickresume is a builder: you pick a template, fill it in, and it helps you phrase things. CV Scoring is analysis-first: you upload the CV you already send out, get a scored breakdown against ATS and recruiter criteria, and optionally have it rebuilt into an ATS-safe structure. The two are largely complementary — the starting point is what differs.

What CV Scoring focuses on
- Starts from your existing CV — no re-entering your history into a builder.
- 40+ ATS and recruiter checks with per-section scores and prioritized fixes.
- Re-scoring after a rewrite shows whether the changes actually improved anything.
- AI Resume Rebuild outputs a single-column, ATS-safe document.
- Job matching against real listings plus cover letters grounded in your real content.
- Free ATS preview before you spend anything.
