Paste your resume and a job description to see how well you match. We'll surface missing keywords and actionable improvements so you can fix your resume before you apply.
Every job application you submit is probably read by software before it reaches a human. Applicant tracking systems scan your resume for keywords, skills, job titles, and experience that match the posting, and quietly reject anything they can't parse or don't recognize. The ATS Resume Checker runs your resume against a real job description and tells you exactly where you stand, so you never send another application blind.
Copy in your current resume text or upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file and we'll extract it for you.
Paste the posting you're applying for. The more complete it is, the more accurate your match score.
Receive a 0–100 match score, your strengths, missing keywords, and suggested improvements, then rebuild with the Resume Builder.
We compare your resume against the job description and list the exact keywords and skills you're missing, so you know what to add.
Beyond keywords, you get concrete suggestions for restructuring bullet points and experience to match what recruiters and ATS software reward.
The checker is completely free with no signup. Your resume and the job description are processed on demand and never stored.
Scores above 75 indicate a strong match where your resume closely mirrors the job description's keywords and requirements. Between 50 and 75 is a good foundation with room to improve, and below 50 means you should tailor your resume further before applying.
No. Both texts are sent to our AI providers for analysis on demand and are not stored on our servers. We never build profiles of applicants.
The AI compares the skills, tools, certifications, and experience mentioned in your resume against those in the job description, weighted by how prominently each appears in the posting.
Copy the missing keywords into your resume's skills section and experience bullets, then use the Resume Builder to have AI rewrite your experience around them automatically.
When you submit your resume online, it rarely goes straight to a hiring manager. Instead, it is first processed by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). These automated systems parse the text of your resume and rank it based on relevance to the job description. If your resume lacks the right keywords, uses complex formatting, or fails to quantify achievements, the ATS might filter you out entirely. Our ATS Checker provides a transparent view into exactly how these systems evaluate your application.
Our tool simulates the logic used by top-tier ATS platforms like Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo. By comparing your resume directly against the job posting, we generate a match score that highlights critical gaps in your application. The score isn't just an arbitrary number; it's accompanied by actionable feedback, detailing exactly which hard skills, soft skills, and certifications you are missing, and where your bullet points lack the necessary impact.
Improving an ATS score involves more than simply stuffing your resume with keywords. Context matters. If a job description emphasizes "project management," adding it to a skills list is a good start, but demonstrating it within a bullet point (e.g., "Led a cross-functional project management initiative that reduced delivery times by 15%") is far more effective. Our AI not only identifies what's missing but suggests exactly how to incorporate those elements naturally into your experience section.
We recommend aiming for a match score of 75 or higher before submitting any application. If your score is lower, use the provided insights to tailor your document. You can then take your updated text directly to our AI Resume Builder to finalize the formatting. By actively optimizing your resume for the ATS, you significantly increase your chances of passing the initial automated screen and landing on the desk of a real human recruiter.
