Free ATS resume checker & AI resume check

Nearly every company runs resumes through an applicant tracking system (ATS) before a human sees them. If yours isn't ATS-friendly, it gets filtered out — no matter how strong you are. This free ATS score checker shows you exactly where you stand.

Paste your resume and our AI resume checker returns an instant ATS score (0–100) with a breakdown of keyword match, formatting, sections, and parseability — plus the specific fixes to raise it.

How the ATS checker works

  1. Paste your resume text (or the job description too, for keyword match).
  2. Get an instant ATS score with a section-by-section breakdown.
  3. Apply the suggested fixes and re-check until you're 80+.

Frequently asked questions

What is an ATS resume checker?

An ATS resume checker scores how well your resume will be read and ranked by applicant tracking systems — the software ~99% of companies use to filter resumes. It checks keyword match, formatting, sections, and parseability, then gives an ATS score with fixes.

How is the ATS score calculated?

Our AI resume checker evaluates keyword relevance to the role, standard section structure, clean machine-readable formatting, and contact/parsing signals. You get a 0–100 score plus a breakdown of what is helping and hurting it.

Is the ATS checker free?

Yes — paste your resume and get an instant ATS score, free, with no sign-up required.

What is a good ATS score?

Aim for 80+. Below that, you likely have missing keywords, non-standard formatting, or sections an ATS can't parse. The breakdown tells you exactly what to fix.

Why does my resume fail ATS?

The most common reasons: missing job-specific keywords, tables/columns/graphics the parser can't read, non-standard section titles, and images of text. Fix these and your score jumps.

AI resume checker vs keyword scanner — what's the difference?

The ATS checker scores your whole resume's ATS-readiness. The keyword scanner focuses on matching your resume to a specific job description. Use both for the best result.
