Rejectless
Resume linter
Built for Software Engineers & New grads

Your resume, but linted.Every line gets feedback.

Rejectless flags fluff, weak claims, and vague bullets then ask you to add context to solidfy the point. There's no magic rewrite or one tap fix, because only you know what you did. The goal is interviews, not “a job someday.”

HOW IT WORKS

A pipeline, not a vague chat

Treat your resume like code: deterministic checks, sharp feedback, and focused rewrites.

Reads “fine” until the screen asks: what did you do, how, and what changed?

02 LINTED

FLAGGED LINE

MAJOR

“Improved system performance significantly and led major initiatives.”

WHAT’S WRONG

  • • “Significantly” is unbounded (no constraint or baseline).
  • • “Led initiatives” doesn’t say ownership or deliverable.
  • • No artifact: feature shipped, tool built, or metric moved.

DO THIS NEXT

  1. State what you built (action + object).
  2. Add method/tooling (how you did it).
  3. Give outcome (latency/cost/bugs/time/users).

No score. Just severity + reasons + concrete next actions.

03 RESOLUTION

ADD DETAILS

revise

What you did

REQUIRED

Built a caching layer for profile reads in the API.

How you did it

RECOMMENDED

Redis + TTL strategy, added metrics + rollback guard.

What changed

OPTIONAL

Reduced p95 latency from 180ms → 95ms; fewer timeouts.

Apply fix
✓ resolved

Resolution turns vague bullets into defensible claims.

1) Parse bullets into claims

Breaks bullets into action, scope, and outcome so weak statements can’t hide.

2) Lint for signal

Flags fluff, generic phrasing, missing metrics, and credibility risks.

3) Rewrite with context

Just don't rephrase the bullet but add more context and clarity

FEATURES

Iron out each and every bullet

Engineers skim. Recruiters skim faster. Your bullets must earn attention in seconds.

Fluff + vagueness detector

Calls out empty verbs and weak claims (what changed, by how much, at what scale).

Credibility checks

Flags bullets that read exaggerated and suggests narrower, defensible ownership.

You make it stronger

We don't rewrite the bullet for you, give more context to bring clarity into the point, if you can't delete it

Diagnostics dashboard

Each issue is classified as Major, Moderate and Minor with color coding. Keep track of all the issues and complete them one by to make your resume iron clad

FAQ

Questions, answered

Practical details about how Rejectless works and what to expect.

What exactly does Rejectless do?
Rejectless lints your resume line-by-line. It flags vague bullets, fluff, credibility risks, and missing specifics, then guides you through a structured rewrite (what you did / how you did it / what changed).
How is this different from a normal AI resume review?
Most tools give broad feedback or rewrite everything into generic text. Rejectless produces per-line diagnostics with severity, concrete next actions, and fixes you can apply one bullet at a time.
Is this an ATS resume checker?
No. Rejectless does not scan for ATS keywords or formatting rules.
Do I need metrics for every bullet?
No. Metrics help, but Rejectless also accepts qualitative outcomes. If you don’t have numbers, it pushes you toward concrete results (what improved, what shipped, what got faster, what got simpler).
Will it rewrite my resume with made-up achievements?
No. Rejectless is designed to increase credibility, not inflate claims. It prompts you to provide defensible scope and outcomes and warns when a line reads exaggerated.
Who is it for?
Software engineers and new grads applying to SWE roles—anyone who wants bullets that read like evidence and hold up under interview follow-ups.
Is my resume data stored or used for training?
You resume is stored locally except when user requests download from server, its stored temporarily.
