What the checker looks at
The same things recruiters and applicant tracking systems care about, in plain language.
Impact
How many bullet points show measurable results and start with a strong action verb.
Structure
Whether an ATS can find standard sections: summary, experience, education and skills.
Length and style
Word count, page count, first-person wording and overly long bullet points.
Contact details
Email, phone, LinkedIn and location, written as plain text the system can read.
Readability
Whether text comes through at all. Scanned PDFs and images often reach an ATS blank.

ATS checker questions
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is software employers use to collect, sort and search job applications. Recruiters often search it by keyword, so a resume that's hard to read or missing key terms can be overlooked.
Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker runs in your browser, so your file stays on your device. We only see your resume if you choose to send it to us.
How is the score calculated?
We look at five things: how many of the job's key terms appear in your resume, measurable results and action verbs, standard section headings, length and wording, and contact details. It's an estimate based on how applicant tracking systems commonly work, not the exact score any one employer's system gives.
What's a good score?
Aim for 70 or higher for the job you're applying to. Below 50, there's usually a lot you can improve before applying.
