What Is the Best AI for Resume Review? The Best Alternatives to ChatGPT in 2024

1

ChatGPT

I signed in using my Gmail account and provided my birthday. Then I encountered the first hiccup: there was no obvious way to upload my resume file (in the free ChatGPT account). I cobbled together the prompt, resume, and job description in Notepad and then pasted everything into ChatGPT. Side note: the premium ChatGPT Plus at $20/month supports file uploads, but let's stick to comparing free apples with free apples here.

Bard AI

Bard's speed was comparable to ChatGPT. When it rewrote the resume, or parts of it, I could copy and paste them into a doc. But the rewrites strangely ignored Bard's own editorial suggestions. Bard, you had one job!

When Claude actually rewrote a resume, it was a simple copy-paste job for me. But when it came to applying its editorial suggestions, things got tricky. Phrases like "Tailor bullet points to use language from job description" are helpful only if you show me how, Claude! When I asked to apply the suggestions in subsequent chat messages, its examples often lacked clarity compared to what ChatGPT or JobSearch.Coach provided. Which hiring manager wants to read "Increased velocity of innovation investments by providing data-backed validation of ideas in early testing phases, aiding leadership in prioritizing highest potential growth opportunities?" One advantage of Claude over its competitors was speed: it was by far the fastest AI in my test.

JobSearch.Coach

ChatGPT didn't suggest key elements like a Resume Summary or Skills section. By asking directly in a subsequent chat message, I got a summary, but it missed the mark compared to JobSearch.Coach. For example, it mentioned C++ that the job description didn't list, while JobSearch.Coach mentioned system architecture and innovation, both featured prominently in the job description. ChatGPT omitted ATS keywords. It overlooked glaring resume errors like an unprofessional email address (the.greatest.larper@gmail.com), atrocious cliches ("I am a self-motivated team player equipped with problem-solving and analytical skills"), and irrelevant hobbies (LARP). It also didn't advise removing irrelevant old jobs or coursework, something JobSearch.Coach did. But hey, it did fix a typo!
