Why run your resume through an ATS checker?
Most mid-size and large employers use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to parse, store, and rank incoming resumes. If the software can't read your layout, or your resume doesn't contain the terms recruiters search for, you can be screened out before a human ever sees your application, regardless of how qualified you are.
This ATS resume checker simulates that process. It parses your resume the way tracking software does, compares it against the actual job description you're targeting, and returns a 0–100 compatibility score with a breakdown across parsing, keywords, structure, and relevance, plus concrete rewrite suggestions for your weakest bullets.
Unlike keyword-counting tools, the analysis is semantic: it understands that "led a team of 8 engineers" matches "engineering management experience", and it flags where your wording is close but won't match a recruiter's search.
That job-description comparison is the whole point. Generic resume feedback is easy to find and mostly useless, because whether you get the interview never depends on your resume in the abstract — it depends on how it stacks up against one posting, in front of one recruiter and their software. Three checks a day are free, with no account and nothing stored.
What the checker looks at
Parsing & format
Whether ATS software can correctly extract your contact details, work history, and skills from your layout, fonts, tables, and columns.
Keyword coverage
Which hard skills, tools, and qualifications from the job description appear in your resume, and which are missing or phrased differently.
Semantic relevance
How well your experience actually matches the role's requirements, beyond literal keyword matches.
Structure & sections
Standard section headings, date formats, and bullet structure that both ATS parsers and recruiters expect.

Frequently asked questions
Is this ATS resume checker really free?
Yes. You get 3 full analyses per day free, with no account and no credit card. Each free scan includes your ATS compatibility score, a category breakdown, matched and missing keywords, and a rewrite suggestion. Paid credits ($1.50/scan) unlock every missing keyword, all rewrite suggestions, and a downloadable optimized resume.
How does the ATS resume checker work?
You upload your resume (PDF or DOCX) and paste the job description. A two-stage AI pipeline first extracts and parses your resume the way an applicant tracking system would, then scores it against the job description for keyword coverage, semantic relevance, formatting, and structure, returning a 0–100 score with specific fixes.
Is my resume stored after the scan?
No. Your resume is analyzed in memory and never stored. There is no account, so there is no profile or document history. This is a deliberate privacy-first design.
Does the checker work for real ATS platforms like Workday or Greenhouse?
The checker tests the factors that all major ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo) and recruiter keyword searches have in common: clean parsing, standard section headings, and keyword coverage against the job description. No tool can replicate every vendor's exact ranking, but fixing what this checker flags removes the failure modes that get resumes filtered out.
What is a good ATS score?
On atspass.com, 75 or above is strong: your resume parses cleanly and covers the key terms in the job description. Between 50 and 74 means recruiters searching by keyword may miss you; below 50 usually indicates parsing problems or major keyword gaps worth fixing before you apply.
What makes this resume checker different from others?
Most free resume checkers score your resume in isolation, checking grammar, length, and formatting. This one scores it against the specific job description you're applying for, which is how you're actually judged: recruiters and applicant tracking systems compare your resume to their posting, not to an abstract ideal. You also don't need an account, and your resume is never stored.
Do I need to paste a job description?
It's strongly recommended. Scoring against a real posting is what makes the feedback actionable: you learn which of the employer's own terms are missing from your resume. Checking without one still tests parsing and structure, but the keyword analysis is where most interviews are won or lost.
