Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS resume checker is a tool that simulates how Applicant Tracking System software reads, parses, and scores your resume. It compares your resume against a job description and shows you your match score, missing keywords, formatting issues, and specific improvements to make.
How accurate is the ATS score?
Our ATS checker models the scoring behavior of major ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS). While exact scores vary by platform, our analysis identifies the same keyword gaps and formatting issues that cause resumes to be filtered out across all major systems. Candidates who score 80%+ consistently get more callbacks.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — the ATS Resume Checker is completely free with no signup required. Upload your resume, paste the job description, and get your full analysis instantly.
What file formats are supported?
We support .pdf, .docx, and .txt resume files. For best results, use a PDF created from Word or Google Docs — not from design tools like Canva.
How many times can I check my resume?
Unlimited. We encourage you to check your resume against every job description before applying. Even minor keyword adjustments can increase your score by 15–20%.
Will this tool help with every ATS platform?
Our tool checks for the universal signals that affect ATS performance across all platforms: keyword presence, keyword density, formatting compatibility, section structure, and contact information accessibility. Optimizing these factors improves your score on every major ATS.
