ResumeHQ — AI-Powered Resume Builder with ATS & HR Scoring
The only resume tool that finds jobs, scores your fit, and tailors your resume — all in one workflow. Works as a Claude Code plugin or standalone web app.
Why ResumeHQ?
Most resume tools only score the resume you bring to them. ResumeHQ goes further:
| Feature | Jobscan | Rezi | Teal | ResumeHQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATS keyword scoring | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| HR / recruiter simulation | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Discover matching jobs | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Score jobs against your resume | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Auto-tailor resume to JD | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| ATS-compliant DOCX output | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Application tracker | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Works in Claude Code / claude.ai | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Open source | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
What This Does
You paste a job description (or search for jobs). The system:
- Discovers matching jobs from live job boards — scored and ranked by fit with your resume
- Analyzes the JD — extracts keywords, required skills, domain, seniority level
- Tailors your master resume — rewrites bullets, reorders sections, matches terminology
- Scores the result with two independent engines (ATS + HR simulation)
- Iterates automatically until scores hit targets (ATS 75-85%, HR 70%+)
- Generates production-ready DOCX files (resume + cover letter)
- Tracks every application in an Excel spreadsheet
All of this runs in parallel — scoring happens in the background while the resume is being written, cover letters generate simultaneously, and DOCX files are created in parallel. ~50% faster than sequential execution.
Quick Start — 3 Steps
Works with Claude Code (CLI/IDE) and claude.ai (web/Projects).
Step 1: Install the plugin
/plugin marketplace add jananthan30/Resume-Builder
/plugin install resume-builder
Step 2: Run the setup wizard
/resume-builder:setup
This walks you through everything:
- Checks if Python is installed (tells you where to download it if not)
- Installs all dependencies automatically (
pip install -r requirements.txt) - Creates your
config.jsonwith your name, email, phone, LinkedIn - Optionally links a Pro account for unlimited cloud scoring
- Optionally sets up the LLM scorer (Claude API key)
Step 3: Start building resumes
/resume-builder:resume [paste a job description here]
Or find jobs first:
/resume-builder:find-jobs Senior Data Scientist in New York
Slash Commands (7)
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/resume-builder:setup | One-time setup wizard (installs Python deps, creates config, links Pro account) |
/resume-builder:resume [JD] | Full application: tailored resume + cover letter + scoring + DOCX + tracking |
/resume-builder:tailor-resume [JD] | Resume only (no cover letter) |
/resume-builder:cover-letter [JD] | Cover letter only |
/resume-builder:find-jobs [title] [location] | Discover and score matching jobs from live job boards |
/resume-builder:batch-resume | Process multiple job descriptions in parallel |
/resume-builder:writing-coach [file] | Audit and rewrite resume bullets using 10 writing rules |
If running locally (cloned repo), use short names: /resume, /tailor-resume, /find-jobs, etc.
What Works Without Setup
Even before running /resume-builder:setup, these commands work immediately (they're just Claude prompts — no Python needed):
| Command | Works immediately? | With setup? |
|---|---|---|
/resume-builder:resume | Yes — Claude writes the resume | + automated ATS/HR scoring and DOCX output |
/resume-builder:cover-letter | Yes — Claude writes the letter | + DOCX output |
/resume-builder:writing-coach | Yes — full writing audit | Same |
/resume-builder:find-jobs | Yes — shows results (no score) | + ATS/HR fit scoring per job |
/resume-builder:setup | Yes — runs the setup wizard | N/A |
| MCP scoring tools | No — needs Python | score_resume, score_ats, score_hr, score_with_llm, rewrite_resume, explain_score, extract_text, discover_jobs |
MCP Tools (8)
After running /resume-builder:setup, the MCP scorer auto-starts and provides these tools that Claude can call natively:
