How the ATS checker works
- Upload your resume PDF.
- Optionally paste a job description (or pick a role) for a job-specific match.
- Get your match score and missing keywords in about 15 seconds.
What the score checks
- Keyword match against the exact job posting you paste.
- Missing hard skills the posting asks for that your resume lacks.
- Section coverage: summary, skills, experience, education.
- Formatting risks that break ATS parsing, like tables and image-based text.

FAQ
Can I check my resume for ATS for free?
Yes. The score and missing keywords are free with no signup needed. You pay $2.99 one-time only if you want the optimized PDF export.
What is a good ATS match score?
75%+ is solid and 80%+ is strong. Below 60% usually means missing keywords are filtering you out.
Do I need the job description?
Yes, that is the point: we score your resume against the actual posting, not generic rules. No posting handy? Load one of the sample job descriptions above.
Can an ATS read PDF resumes?
Yes. Modern ATS parse text-based PDFs; scanned-image PDFs fail. Our checker flags this.
How do I check my resume for ATS compatibility?
Upload the PDF, paste the posting, and read the flags: parse errors, missing hard skills, and risky formatting.
