We reject our own AI drafts when they sound like AI.
Every bullet passes Voice Guard, or we throw it out and try again.
ApplyArc runs a second-model rejection layer on every rewrite. Voice Guard scores each bullet 0-100 on how human it sounds. Anything below the bar gets rejected and rewritten. You only see the ones that pass. Free to try, no card needed.

Source: 2025 ResumeGo hiring-manager survey of 650 US recruiters. The number is higher in tech.
Real rewrites from the tool. Pick a role. Drag the slider.
Rebuilt the fulfilment pipeline with two engineers. Cut order errors from 4.1% to 0.3% in 8 weeks. Saved the ops team 14 hours a week.
Rewrote the onboarding email. Open rate went from 22% to 41%. Paid signup conversion up 2.3x over one quarter.
Migrated the billing service off monolith to two Go microservices. Latency fell from 800ms to 90ms. Handled Black Friday with zero 5xx.
Led a four-person capstone team. Built a React app that matched 200 students to internships in one term. Won the department prize.
Opened 47 accounts in 9 months. Closed £1.2M in ARR. Three of my deals made it into the board deck as case studies.
Three or more of these on a CV and you get filtered. Swap them for plain verbs humans actually say.
Full list and the 10-minute fix in our humanise-an-AI-resume guide.
Add your target role and our AI scores it like a senior recruiter would — not a regex.
Two models. One writes. One grades. The grader is mean.
The first model rewrites your bullet for clarity, numbers, and ATS keyword match.
A second, independent model scores the draft 0-100 on how human it sounds. It flags em-dashes, consultant verbs, adjective stacks, missing numbers, uniform sentence length.
Below the threshold the draft gets rejected and Model A rewrites with specific feedback. We only ship drafts that pass.
Spoiler: they ship the model's first draft.

Never claims you built tools your company bought. Scope Guard flags bullets that inflate your role. Picked the vendor is not the same as built the system. Recruiters spot the difference in seconds, and it lands your CV in the bin.
See Pro planAn anti-AI resume rewriter is a tool that uses AI to rewrite your resume but refuses to ship output that reads as AI-generated. ApplyArc is the only one in 2026. Every rewrite goes through Voice Guard, a second model that scores bullets out of 100 on how human they sound. Anything below the threshold gets rejected and rewritten. Traditional AI resume tools (Teal, Huntr, Jobscan, ChatGPT) ship the model's first draft. We make the model prove it doesn't sound like a robot first.
AI humanizers rewrite generic text to bypass AI detectors. They don't know anything about resumes, bullet structure, or recruiter signals. We grade on two axes: does it sound human, and does it still sound like a strong resume bullet with real numbers. A humanized sentence that drops all your metrics is useless on a CV. Voice Guard keeps the numbers and kills the robot tone.
74% of hiring managers say they can spot an AI resume within 30 seconds. Modern ATS tools (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS) added AI-detection scoring in 2025. Resumes that score high on 'model-generated probability' get ranked lower. A human recruiter may never see you. The tells are consistent: em-dashes, consultant verbs, uniform sentence length, adjective stacks, missing real numbers.
The seven biggest tells in 2026: spearheaded, leveraged, robust, seamless, synergies, orchestrated, deliverables. If your resume has three or more of these, it reads as AI-written. Swap them for plain verbs a human would actually say: built, used, ran, shipped, cut, grew, launched, fixed, hired, saved.
Yes. Voice Guard runs on every AI output in ApplyArc — cover letters, resume bullets, follow-up emails, interview answers, LinkedIn messages. Same principle: a second model grades the first model's draft and rejects anything that reads AI. Only the passes ever reach you.
Yes. The AI-tell scanner on this page runs fully in your browser. Paste a bullet, get an instant score. No account, no data sent anywhere. To actually rewrite the bullet with Voice Guard, use our free resume bullet rewriter — one rewrite free, no card needed.
No. Voice Guard rejects AI-sounding phrasing, not keywords. We still optimise for the job description. The difference is how the phrasing lands. A bullet can be keyword-rich and still sound human. Consultant-speak is not the same as keyword targeting.
A paired guardrail on the Pro plan. Scope Guard flags bullets that claim credit for work your company bought or your team built. If you write 'built a data lake' but your actual role was 'picked the vendor', Scope Guard catches it. Recruiters spot inflated claims in seconds and reject the CV. Scope Guard stops the exaggeration before it hits the page.
Teal, Huntr, and Jobscan all ship what the model wrote. Their AI is optimised for keyword match and speed, not for how human the output sounds. ApplyArc is the only tool running a second-model rejection layer on every rewrite. In our internal tests, Voice Guard rejects roughly one in three first drafts. You only see the ones that pass.
