CUP Resume Rater is an agentic AI that scores your resume against the systems that screen it — civilian ATS or federal OPM — then rewrites it to win. Composed. Precise. Quietly effective.

No account required for your first rating.

The problem

Three out of four resumes never reach a human.

75%

of resumes are filtered out by ATS software before a recruiter ever sees them.

6 sec

is the average time a human spends on a resume that does make it through.

Different.

Federal resumes follow OPM rules most applicants don't know exist — and a civilian-format resume is almost always rejected.

How it works

Three steps. A measured answer.

  1. 01

    Upload & choose your track

    Drop in your resume. Select Civilian or Federal. The agent calibrates to the standards for that path.

  2. 02

    The agent analyzes

    It reads structure, keyword density, formatting, quantified outcomes, and role-specific signals against the standards that matter.

  3. 03

    Score, report, optimize

    Receive an instant score. Unlock the full report. Deploy the optimizer to rewrite your resume to win.

Two tracks, two playbooks

Civilian and federal resumes are different documents.

CUP grades each by the rules that actually apply.

Civilian

Optimized for ATS pipelines used by private-sector employers and modern recruiters.

  • Keyword density tuned to the role you're targeting
  • Action verbs and quantified outcomes
  • ATS parse compatibility & formatting
  • Section order, length, and signal clarity
  • Plain-language phrasing recruiters actually read

Federal

Aligned to USAJOBS conventions and OPM evaluation standards.

  • KSAs and core competencies
  • Series and grade alignment (GS-level)
  • Hours-per-week & supervisor information
  • OPM qualification standards
  • Specialized-experience narrative

Four audiences. One standard.

Civilian job seekers

Private-sector applicants competing against ATS-tuned resumes from every direction.

Federal applicants

USAJOBS candidates who need OPM-aligned resumes to clear HR before the hiring manager ever reads.

Career coaches & writers

Practitioners who want defensible scoring and a faster path from intake to polished draft.

Transitioning military

Service members moving to civilian or federal civilian roles, translating experience to the right vocabulary.

Tier 2 · Full report

What you get when you go past the score.

A measured, sectioned document you can act on the same day.

  • Overall score and percentile
  • Keyword match analysis against the role you're targeting
  • ATS compatibility & parse diagnostics
  • Section-by-section breakdown with rewrites
  • Missing keywords and recommended placements

Tier 3 · Optimizer

The agent rewrites the document, not just the advice.

  • Target-role keyword integration without stuffing
  • Quantified outcomes added where you have them
  • Rescore loop until threshold is met

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

What is CUP?

CUP stands for Coolness Under Pressure. It is an agentic AI that rates and optimizes resumes to beat ATS and OPM gatekeepers so your application reaches a person who can hire you.

Is the rating really free?

Yes. Upload your resume, pick Civilian or Federal, and receive an instant score with no account required.

How is the federal track different?

Federal resumes follow OPM standards — KSAs, series and grade alignment, hours per week, supervisor information, and a specialized-experience narrative. The agent grades and rewrites against those rules, not against civilian ATS conventions.

Does it work with USAJOBS?

Yes. The federal track is built around USAJOBS conventions and OPM qualification standards.

Is my data private?

Your resume is used only to produce your rating and report. It is never sold, shared with employers, or used to train third-party models.

How accurate is the agent?

The agent grades against published ATS and OPM signals plus role-specific keyword data. It is a strong predictor of gatekeeper outcomes — not a guarantee of an interview, which depends on factors outside the document.

Can I use it more than once?

Yes. Re-rate as often as you'd like as you iterate. The optimizer can rescore in a loop until your target threshold is met.

Can career coaches white-label it?

A B2B option for coaches and resume writers is on the roadmap. Contact us to be considered for the early-access cohort.
