What this ATS checker looks at
Parseability
Checks whether your resume's structure — headings, dates, bullet points — is in a format most parsing software can read correctly, without relying on tables, columns, or images that often get scrambled.
Keyword coverage
Compares the skills and terms in your resume against the job description you provide, so you can see exactly what's missing before you hit apply.
Section structure
Looks for standard sections — experience, education, skills — under clear headings, since non-standard labels can confuse both software and human reviewers.
Length and word count
Flags resumes that are too short to show impact or too long to hold a recruiter's attention during a quick first pass.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can check your resume as many times as you like at no cost — no signup, no credit card, no watermark on the results.
