FAQ

ATS checker questions

What is an ATS resume checker?

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software employers use to screen resumes before a human reads them. An ATS checker compares your resume against a job description to show which required keywords you match and which are missing.

Is this ATS checker really free?

Yes. There is no signup and no upload — the check runs entirely in your browser and your resume text never leaves your device.

How do I improve my ATS score?

Add the missing keywords that genuinely apply to you, using the same wording as the job description. Keep standard section headings, avoid tables and graphics, and use a clean single-column layout.

Do keywords guarantee my resume passes?

No tool can guarantee a pass — every employer configures screening differently. But matching the language of the job description for skills you actually have meaningfully improves your odds of reaching a recruiter.
