Resume Claim Verifier

Don't just claim skills. Prove them.

Resume Claim Verifier is a full-stack hiring-tech application that validates resume skills using real GitHub evidence.

Instead of relying solely on self-reported skills, the platform analyzes a candidate's GitHub repositories, project descriptions, topics, languages, and README files to determine whether resume claims are supported by actual work.

Problem

Many developers list technologies on their resumes:

• React
• Node.js
• MongoDB
• Docker
• AWS
• TypeScript

Recruiters and hiring managers often spend significant time manually checking GitHub profiles to verify whether those skills are genuinely demonstrated through projects.

This process is slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.

---

Solution

Resume Claim Verifier automatically compares resume claims against GitHub evidence.

The system:

1. Extracts skills from a resume
2. Fetches GitHub repositories
3. Analyzes project metadata
4. Matches claimed skills with repository evidence
5. Generates a recruiter-friendly verification report

How It Works

Step 1

Upload:

• Resume PDF
• GitHub Username

Step 2

Extract skills from the resume.

Example:

React
Node.js
MongoDB
Docker
AWS

Step 3

Analyze GitHub repositories.

The system inspects:

• Repository names
• Languages
• Topics
• Descriptions
• README content

Step 4

Match resume claims against project evidence.

Example:

React   → Found in 6 repositories
Node.js → Found in 9 repositories
MongoDB → Found in 3 repositories
Docker  → No evidence found
AWS     → No evidence found

Step 5

Generate a verification report.

React      Strong Evidence
Node.js    Strong Evidence
MongoDB    Moderate Evidence
Docker     Weak Evidence
AWS        No Evidence

Why This Project Stands Out

Most resume tools focus on formatting and optimization.

Resume Claim Verifier focuses on trust and evidence.

It answers a more important question:

Can a candidate actually prove the skills listed on their resume?

This makes the platform valuable for developers, students, recruiters, and hiring teams.
