What does this score mean?

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software employers use to collect and sort applications. This checker applies our own rules to your resume text. It cannot tell what a specific employer's ATS will do with your resume, and it does not predict interviews or hiring outcomes.

What We Check

  • Contact Information: Email, phone number, professional links
  • Structure: Key sections (Experience, Education, Skills, Summary)
  • Formatting: Bullet points, no special characters or tables
  • Content: Action verbs, quantifiable achievements, keywords
  • Length: Optimal word count (400-700 words)
  • Readability: Clear language

How to Improve Your Score

  1. Fix all "error" level issues first
  2. Address "warning" level suggestions
  3. Use our Resume Summary Generator for better content
  4. Match keywords with the job description
  5. Re-test after making changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Data handling: Your file's text is sent to our server and analyzed by deterministic rules (no AI vendor). It is not saved to our database. The score cannot tell you what a specific employer's ATS will do and does not predict interviews.
