Hey DEV fam 👋,
I have been in the trenches applying to 200+ SDE/Full-Stack roles over the past few months (product companies, startups, the usual suspects). Rejections were piling up — mostly ghosts or ATS auto-rejects. Time to stop guessing.
I went searching for free AI resume checkers/roasters that don't hold back or lock everything behind paywalls. Tested the popular ones:
- Teal: Good for building + keyword matching, but free scans are limited.
- Jobscan/ResyMatch: Great for specific JD tailoring, credits run out quick.
- Resume Worded/Enhancv: Scores are nice, but feedback is way too gentle.
- Others like Kickresume/Rezi: More resume builders than brutal roasters.
Then I came across Geeksprep — and it actually delivered the no-BS roast I needed.
What Makes Geeksprep's Free AI Resume Roast Different
Upload your PDF → click "Roast My Resume" → ~30 seconds later you get:
- ATS score (e.g., mine was a sad 72/100 at first)
- Detailed breakdowns: keyword %, format issues, quantification strength
-
5 brutally honest improvement tips — savage mode on:
- "Your bullets are basically job descriptions copied from LinkedIn. Add impact or recruiters will yawn."
- "Zero numbers. 'Optimized code' → by how much? Quantify or remove."
- "Skills section screams keyword stuffing — tailor it per role instead."
- A funny, roasting tone that makes the feedback stick without feeling mean (one line literally said "this resume is recruiter repellent" 😂)
And crucially: it's free — no sign-up nonsense, no card required for the basic roast. Instant results, no waiting.
It's clearly geared toward Indian/tech job market: FAANG expectations, unicorns like Flipkart/Swiggy/PhonePe, service-to-product switches. The advice felt spot-on for that.
After fixing the top issues (added metrics, cut fluff, keyword-optimized for a couple JDs), I started seeing more callbacks — 4 interviews in the next 10 days from places that ignored me before. Small sample, but the difference was noticeable.
Bonus: The Rest of Geeksprep (If You Want More)
Beyond the free roast:
- Company-specific Interview Packs (real questions from recent Google/Amazon/Flipkart interviews )
- Mock Interviews with actual FAANG engineers
- Premium human resume reviews + strategy calls
For me, the free roast was enough to fix the foundation first.
Quick Before/After Bullet Example
Before:
- Built APIs using Node.js
After (roast-inspired):
- Engineered high-throughput Node.js APIs serving 15k+ daily requests, cutting average response time by 35%
Huge upgrade in perceived impact.
