Score your CV out of 100 before you pay anything
Upload a PDF, Word file or photo of your CV and get a score out of 100, five category scores and a layout read.
Where HRLens and Jobscan actually differ
Jobscan built its reputation on one number: how closely your CV matches a single job ad, expressed as a keyword match percentage. It works, and plenty of people swear by it. The catch is the meter. The free tier limits how many scans you get before it asks for a subscription, so the fifth role you apply to this week is the one you end up guessing on.
HRLens starts somewhere else. Before it looks at any job ad, it judges the CV itself: an overall score out of 100, a Weak, Decent, Strong or Excellent rating, and five category scores covering experience, tech stack, impact and ownership, clarity and structure, and ATS compatibility. That part costs nothing and does not run out, which matters when you are applying all month.
Be clear about the trade. HRLens does not publish a match percentage, so if that single figure is what you are shopping for, Jobscan is the tool that gives it to you. What HRLens gives instead is a list of the skills a specific job ad asks for that your CV never mentions, plus rewritten CVs in six ATS-friendly templates that mirror the ad's own wording. Paste the job text and you see the gap in plain language rather than as a dial.
The paid layer is honest and cheap. A one-off Full Analysis costs $3.99 and adds the fix list, the blind spots, a read on why you might be rejected, your likely interviews per 10 applications against the market, and a salary estimate. No subscription required to find out whether your CV is the problem.
What you get without paying
A real score, not a teaser
Overall score out of 100, a Weak to Excellent rating and five category scores. Free, every time you upload.
Checked against the actual job ad
Paste the job description and the analysis names the skills it wants that your CV never mentions.
A look at your layout
The visual layout analysis shows how your pages read, so you can spot the columns and blocks a parser mangles.
Hebrew and English, both handled
Hebrew OCR reads scanned and photographed CVs, and the builder writes Hebrew CVs that export right to left.
Three steps from upload to fixes
Upload the CV you are sending right now
PDF, Word or a photo. Hebrew files included. You get the score, the five categories and the layout read in one pass.
Paste the job ad you are chasing
Copy the text itself for LinkedIn and Indeed roles, since those sites block fetching. The analysis then targets that job.
Take the rewrite and send it
Every analysis produces ATS-friendly CVs in six templates built around the ad's keywords. Refine by chat in the builder, then export.
The usual rejection reasons, and what to do about them
| Why CVs get screened out | How HRLens shows it | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| A layout the parser cannot follow | Visual layout analysis plus an ATS compatibility score, free | Rebuild the same content in one of six ATS-friendly templates |
| The job ad's key skills are missing | Paste the job text and get the missing-skills list | Rewrite around the words the ad itself uses |
| A Hebrew CV that arrives as a scan | Hebrew OCR reads scanned and photographed files | Export a clean right-to-left Hebrew CV from the builder |
| Duties listed, results nowhere | The impact and ownership category scores it on its own | Full Analysis returns the fix list and the blind spots |
| No clue why the replies stopped | Strengths are free; weaknesses sit in the paid report | Full Analysis adds why you might be rejected, for $3.99 |

Questions people ask before switching
Is the HRLens CV check genuinely free?
Yes. Upload a PDF, Word file or image and you get an overall score out of 100, a Weak to Excellent rating, five category scores including ATS compatibility, your strengths and a visual layout analysis. No card, no scan counter. The improvement suggestions, rejection reasons, blind spots, hiring probability and salary estimate sit in the paid Full Analysis at $3.99.
Does HRLens give a keyword match percentage like Jobscan?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Jobscan is the tool for a match percentage against one job ad. HRLens takes a different route: paste the job description and you get a list of the skills that ad asks for and your CV does not mention, plus rewritten CVs in six templates built around the ad's own wording.
Can I paste a LinkedIn or Indeed job link?
You can paste a URL, but LinkedIn and Indeed block automated fetching, so the page often comes back empty. Copy the job ad text and paste that instead. It takes five seconds and gives the analysis the full requirements list, which is what the missing-skills check and the tailored rewrites work from.
Does it handle Hebrew CVs for the Israeli market?
It does. Hebrew OCR reads Hebrew CVs, including scans and phone photos, so a file that started as paper still gets scored. The CV builder writes Hebrew CVs in Hebrew and exports them right to left in PDF or Word. The interface itself is in English. Bilingual applicants can check each version separately.
What does the Full Analysis add for $3.99?
The part that tells you what to change: improvement suggestions, a read on why you might be rejected, the blind spots you cannot see in your own CV, your hiring probability as interviews per 10 applications against the market, and a salary estimate. It is a single purchase, not a subscription you have to remember to cancel.
Can I compare my old CV with the new one?
Yes, through the before and after comparison against a previous analysis. That feature is paid and comes with the Premium Package at $8.99 or All-Access at $24.99 a month. All-Access also unlocks CV downloads from the builder and the AI cover-letter writer, which is handy if you are applying at volume.
