What's in the critique
Classification — Function, level, industry, and an honest first impression in one line.
What's working — Real strengths worth preserving, stated briefly.
The AI-fingerprint audit — The bullets that could be on anyone's resume. Quoted back to you, with rewrites.
Function-specific depth check — What a hiring manager in your exact role expects to see, and where your resume is thin.
Quantification audit — What needs a number, what numbers are meaningless, and what to do when you don't have the data.
Positioning — How your top third of page one is reading, and a rewrite of your summary and lead bullet.
Formatting and ATS — Specific issues in your document, not generic rules.
Redlines — Three to five before/after rewrites you can copy-paste or use as templates.
Priority order of fixes — If you only do three things this weekend, here's what they are.

The critique is typically 1,500–3,000 words. It is not a score, a grade, or a checklist. It is a written diagnosis, the way a good mentor would talk to you if they had eight minutes and told you the truth.

What the critique looks like
Sample critique — Alex R., Senior Product Manager (B2B SaaS)

Senior Product Manager candidate, B2B SaaS, growth-stage companies. First impression: technically fluent, clearly has shipping history, but reads more like an engineering handoff document than a PM resume. The top half of page one isn’t doing the work it needs to.


What’s working

The impact in your last role at [their previous company] — reducing time-to-first-value by 34% — is the strongest line on the page. It’s specific, it’s PM language, and it answers the question a hiring manager is actually asking (“did this person move the number or just manage the project?”). Keep it. Build toward it.


The AI-fingerprint audit

These bullets are currently on your resume. They are also, in some variation, on approximately 40,000 other PM resumes:

“Collaborated cross-functionally with engineering, design, and marketing to deliver product roadmap initiatives on time and within scope.”

This sentence has no weight. Every PM collaborates cross-functionally — that’s the job description, not an achievement. The reader’s eye slides past it.

Rewrite direction: What did you actually decide in those cross-functional meetings that others didn’t want to do? What got cut? What shipped differently because you were in the room?


Redline

Before “Spearheaded go-to-market strategy for new enterprise tier, resulting in increased revenue.”

After “Led GTM for the enterprise tier launch at [their previous company] — $1.2M ARR added in Q3, three months ahead of plan. Wrote the pricing brief, ran the sales enablement sessions, and made the call to delay the SMB rollout so we didn’t cannibalize the conversion funnel.”

Why “Spearheaded” is weight-free. “Resulting in increased revenue” is the weakest possible claim — it implies you don’t know the number, or don’t trust it. The rewrite gives the reader a dollar figure, a timeline, and evidence that you understand second-order consequences. That’s what senior PM hiring looks like.

A few things to know

PDF or .docx. If your resume is in Pages, Google Docs, or Canva, export to PDF first.

Usually under ten minutes. If it's taking longer than 30 minutes, check spam, then email us.

It's deleted from our servers within 24 hours. We don't train models on your resume. We don't share it with anyone.

No. The critique is sent only to your email address. This is intentional — it keeps the service lean and keeps your document private to you.

An AI model with a carefully designed prompt written by a recruiter with decades of experience in the field. It is not a human review. It is, however, dramatically more specific and direct than a generic AI rewrite tool, because it's been instructed to critique the way a senior in your field would.

Yes, attached to the order record, so we can resend the critique if needed. We don't add you to a marketing list. You will not get newsletters.
