Free ATS Resume Checker
Will your resume get read?
Upload any resume and get an honest score from fixed, published checks — readability for ATS software, structure, impact and, with a job description, keyword match. Every point is explained.
- Same resume, same score — no AI guesswork
- See exactly where each point comes from
- Fixes ranked by how much they help
What the ATS resume checker looks at
- Whether your file contains readable text and a sensible reading order.
- Standard sections: contact details, summary, experience, education and skills.
- Dates, job titles and employers for each role.
- Bullet points that describe actions and results.
- Length, consistency and common formatting problems.
How to use your results
Start with the issues marked most important, such as missing sections or unreadable text, then work through content suggestions. A higher score means your resume is clearer and more complete. It is not a promise that any employer's system will rank you highly.
To compare your resume against a specific job, use resume tailoring, which scores the match between your evidence and each requirement.
