Score your resume out of 100 in seconds. Get category-by-category feedback on format, content quality, ATS compatibility, keywords, and red flags. Compare against any job description to find missing keywords.
No signup required. Results in seconds.
Our ATS resume checker analyzes your resume the same way an Applicant Tracking System does— looking at structure, keywords, content quality, and formatting. But we go further by giving you a detailed score out of 100, pinpointing exactly what to fix, and showing you how to rewrite weak bullet points with measurable achievements.
Paste your resume, optionally add a job description, and get your score in seconds. The entire analysis runs in your browser—your resume text is never sent to our servers during scoring. If you add a job description, our keyword engine compares your resume against the listing to identify missing skills and keywords recruiters are looking for.
Copy your resume text or upload a PDF. No account needed.
Optional. Paste any job listing to get keyword match analysis and gap detection.
Receive a detailed breakdown across 5 categories with specific, actionable feedback.
Your resume is scored across five categories, each weighted by importance to ATS systems and hiring managers:
Section headers, contact information, date formatting consistency, resume length, and overall structural organization. Missing an Education or Skills section? We flag it.
Action verb usage, quantified achievements, generic phrase detection, and bullet point length. We identify weak bullets like "Responsible for managing team" and show you how to rewrite them with specific metrics.
Standard section names, ATS-friendly formatting, contact info placement, and potential parsing issues. Creative headers like "My Superpowers" get flagged with ATS-safe alternatives.
Industry keyword density across tech, marketing, finance, healthcare, and sales. When you add a job description, this transforms into a full keyword gap analysis showing matched and missing terms.
Personal pronouns, "references available upon request," objective statements, salary mentions, employment gaps, and unprofessional email patterns—things that silently hurt your chances.
