Frequently asked questions

Is the project manager resume checker free?

Yes. Your first Recruiter Check is free, so you can see how your resume matches a specific PM role before deciding whether you need more checks.

Does it check my resume against a specific job description?

Yes. Feedback is based on your resume and the job description together, so results are specific to the role you are applying for.

Will it invent projects or budgets I don't have?

No. Feedback is based only on what's already in your resume — it never fabricates scope or outcomes on your behalf.
