About this ATS resume checker
Most companies use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to scan and rank resumes before a human ever sees them. Resumes that lack standard sections, miss key skills from the job description, or use formats the ATS cannot parse often get filtered out — no matter how qualified the candidate is. Checking your resume against these criteria gives you a real edge.
This tool runs an instant local analysis: it detects standard sections (experience, education, skills, contact), checks for an email and phone, assesses length, and — if you paste a target job description — calculates your keyword match, showing exactly which important terms you have and which you are missing. This scorecard is completely free and unlimited, with no sign-up.
For deeper help, signed-in users can get AI feedback that turns the scorecard into specific, actionable advice — how to strengthen weak sections, which missing keywords to add (only ones you genuinely have), and how to rewrite duty-style bullets into achievement-style ones. The AI never invents experience or credentials; it prompts you to fill in your own real details.

What is an ATS?
An Applicant Tracking System is software employers use to scan, parse, and rank resumes. Many resumes are filtered by ATS before a recruiter reads them.
Why does the keyword match matter?
ATS systems often rank resumes by how well they match the job description. Including the right skills and terms (that you genuinely have) improves your ranking.
Does the AI invent skills or experience?
No. The AI gives feedback based only on what you provide and uses placeholders for details you must supply. Never add skills or achievements you do not actually have.
