Forget beating the ATS. Win the hiring manager.
VulcanCV shows how your story lands with the live job market across your level band, deletes your resume the moment it’s done, and charges only for the analysis you run.
What makes it different
Written for hiring managers, not parsers.
Keyword checkers teach you to write for software. VulcanCV reads your resume the way a hiring manager would and shows you how to tell your story so the right people want to talk to you.
Career-band scoring, not a single yes/no.
Most tools match one resume to one posting and return a keyword score. VulcanCV scores your fit across three rungs at once, one level below, at your level, one above, so you know whether to polish a bullet or aim a level higher.
The live market, not a static rubric.
Instead of grading against a stored rubric or a single pasted job description, VulcanCV scrapes real openings at run time, so the result reflects the market the day you run it.
Nothing about you is kept.
Your resume text is used for the one run and hard-deleted the moment it finishes, no stored profile, ever. A trust guarantee account-based tools structurally can't make.
Priced per analysis.
You pay for the analysis you get, no subscription whose revenue grows the longer your job search drags on.

Frequently asked questions
Is this just another ATS resume checker?
No. ATS checkers teach you to stuff keywords for software. VulcanCV helps you tell your story to the people who actually hire, and shows how that story lands across three career levels in the live market.
Do you keep my resume?
No. Your resume text is used only for that single analysis and hard-deleted the moment it completes; no resume or profile is stored.
Is there a subscription?
No, you pay per analysis. Bundles are on the pricing page.
How current is the job data?
Postings are scraped live from real job boards when you run your analysis, so results reflect the market that day.
What roles and levels does it work for?
Any discipline, it infers your current level and analyzes one below, at, and one above.
How long does it take?
About a minute.
What do I actually get?
A full report on how your story lands across your level band, with clear guidance on how to tell it better or level up. See a full annotated sample report.
