Simplified drawings of the real screens. The resume and the job are made up.
Other tools write what sounds good. Backedly checks what is true.
Every suggestion is checked against the text of your resume by code, not by asking the AI nicely. Here is the same line, both ways.
A generic AI rewrite
Your line: “Collaborated with a team of 5 engineers using Git and CI/CD pipelines.”
“Led a team of 5 engineers through a critical infrastructure migration, cutting deploy time by 40%.”
Sounds great, until an interviewer asks about the migration.
Backedly, before you can use it
- LedYour resume says you collaborated.
- critical infrastructure migrationNot mentioned anywhere.
- 40%This number is not in your resume.
Accept it only if it is true, edit it, or reject it. Nothing reaches your resume unless you say so.
Everything for the application, nothing you would have to defend.
Missing stays missing.
If you did the work but never wrote it down, answer one question. Backedly builds a bullet only from your answer and labels it as yours.
Have you watched or alerted on a service in production? What did you use, and for what?
• Set up Grafana dashboards and PagerDuty alerts for our two Node services.
Your score does not change. Answers are labelled as yours and never count as resume proof.
How the score counts
A score you can explain.
How much of the job your resume backs. Strong counts fully, weak half, and required items count double. Not a keyword count. It changes only when a fix or a re-check checks your resume, so typing never inflates it.
Four formats. PDF or Word.
With a check that it fits on one page. Export never needs a pass.
Also in every analysis
- Weak-bullet warnings
- Lines that read weak are marked on the page itself: no number, vague wording, too long.
- Fix, checked
- Use a fix and that requirement is checked right away, with Undo. Typing on the page changes nothing until you re-check.
- Top fixes
- Whole-resume fixes a recruiter notices first: contact details, dates, gaps, sections and length.
- ATS read-back
- Your exported PDF read back as plain text, so you can see nothing got lost.
- Evidence Bank
- Answers you give are saved and offered again on later jobs.
- Application tracker
- Each job from Saved to Applied, Interviewing and Offer.
Questions
Last updated
Will Backedly make things up on my resume?
No. Every suggestion must come from text already in your resume, or from your own answer to one of its questions (always labelled as your answer). This is checked by code, not just requested from the AI. Numbers, employers and tools your resume does not contain are flagged or removed, a missing number is asked for instead of guessed, and nothing changes until you accept it.
What happens to my resume and the job descriptions I paste?
They are sent to Anthropic's Claude to run the analysis, and stored privately under your account. You can delete a single resume or all of your data at any time from the Resumes page.
What do I get for each job?
Every requirement in the posting, marked strong, weak or missing with the resume line behind it, and your resume opens in an editor next to that checklist. Open a weak or missing one and use Fix this: a suggested line, or one question in your own words. Use this puts the line in your resume and checks that requirement right away; Undo takes it back. Then export a PDF or Word file.
Can I edit my resume freely?
Yes. Everything on the page is editable, and lines you change are marked “Edited”. Typing doesn't move your score: Re-check reads your whole resume fresh when you want new labels. Text you only typed is never counted as proof (to count something new, use Fix this on its requirement), and details your resume doesn't back are underlined so you can double-check them.
How is the evidence coverage score calculated?
It measures how many of the job's requirements your resume already backs with real text. Required items count double, and a partial match counts half. It is not a style or keyword score. It starts from your uploaded resume and changes when a fix is checked or you re-check your resume; lines from your resume, checked rewrites of them and lines from your own answers count, and text you only typed does not.
How much does it cost?
Backedly is paid up front. Purchases are not open yet; when they are, it's a one-time job-hunt pass: $49 for 10 analyses over 90 days, with no subscription and no auto-renewal. Each job also has a limit on AI extras: 20 Evidence Interview questions and bullets, 20 checked fixes, 5 re-checks.
Who is it for?
Software engineers applying to US roles, with US-style resumes (one page, no photo). Other formats are not supported yet.
