How it works
- 1Upload your resume
Upload your resume PDF (or paste the text) into the checker. No signup, no credit card.
- 2Get your ATS score instantly
We parse the document the way an applicant tracking system does and score how cleanly your contact info, dates, headings, and formatting come through.
- 3See the hiring-manager read
A second engine scores the human read — verbs, metrics, filler, current title, and career arc — across four layers, so you know how a recruiter reacts.
- 4Fix the highest-impact issues

Two scores, because a resume has two bars to clear
We parse your resume the way an applicant tracking system does and check the mechanics that break parsing: detectable contact info, consistent dates, standard headings, clean bullets, valid links, and document metadata. Same resume, same number — fix an issue and watch it move.
Clean parsing gets you past the machine; it doesn’t get the interview. A second engine scores the human read across four layers — visual density, header and structure, career arc, and bullet and skill quality — so you know how a recruiter reacts in the first six seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ATS resume checker free?
Yes. Scoring your resume is free and requires no signup or credit card. You get your ATS score, your hiring-manager score, and a preview of the highest-impact issues at no cost. Creating a free account unlocks the full list of findings and a one-click fix for each one inside the editor — but the score itself is always free.
What is a good ATS score?
As a rule of thumb, 80 and above is strong, 60 to 79 means there are clear parsing or formatting issues worth fixing, and below 60 means an applicant tracking system is likely mangling part of your resume before a human ever reads it. The ATS score is deterministic — the same resume always produces the same number — so you can fix an issue, re-check, and watch the score move.
Is passing the ATS enough to get an interview?
No. Passing the ATS only means a machine can read your resume — it says nothing about whether a human wants to interview you. That's why we run a second engine: the hiring-manager read. It scores the things a recruiter actually reacts to in the first six seconds — weak versus strong verbs, missing metrics, generic filler, an unclear current title, and whether your career arc tells a coherent story. A resume needs both: clean parsing AND a compelling human read.
Do you store my resume?
No. Your resume text is processed to compute the score and is not saved to your account or kept on our servers. We retain only the scores and findings, and only if you explicitly choose to save or share them. There's no raw resume text in a shared score — just the numbers and the issue categories.
