What is an ATS & why your score matters
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that 90%+ of large companies use to scan, parse and rank resumes before a human sees them. If your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, it can be rejected automatically — no matter how qualified you are.
This free checker scores your resume the way an ATS reads it: contact details, standard section headings, action verbs, quantified achievements and keyword match with the job description.
How to pass ATS filters
- Use standard section headings: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills
- Mirror keywords from the job description (truthfully)
- Start bullets with action verbs and quantify impact with numbers
- Use a simple single-column layout — avoid tables, columns and graphics
- Save as a text-based PDF, not a scanned image
- Keep it to one page for freshers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ATS resume checker free?+
Yes, it is 100% free with no signup, no limits and no watermark. Check as many resumes as you like.
Is my resume data safe?+
Completely. The analysis runs entirely in your browser — your resume and job description are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere.
How is the ATS score calculated?+
The score (out of 100) is based on contact details, standard ATS section headings, resume length, action verbs, quantified achievements, and — if you paste a job description — how many of its key terms appear in your resume.
What is a good ATS score?+
Aim for 80 or above. A score of 80+ means your resume has the structure, keywords and impact statements that Applicant Tracking Systems and recruiters look for. 60–79 is decent but should be improved; below 60 needs work.
Does adding the job description help?+
Yes. Pasting the job description lets the tool compare your resume against that specific role and show exactly which keywords you are matching and which you are missing.
How do I fix a low score?+
