Free ATS Resume Checker
Most resumes are rejected by software before a person ever opens them. Upload your resume, paste the job description, and get an instant ATS score, the keywords you are missing, and the formatting problems that stop Greenhouse, Workday and Lever from reading your experience correctly.
What the checker looks at
Instant ATS parseability score
Upload a PDF and get a 0-100 score for how cleanly a parser can extract your name, contact details, roles, employers and dates.
Missing keyword report
Paste the job description and see which required skills and tools appear in your resume verbatim, and which ones are missing.
Formatting issues flagged
Tables, columns, icons, creative headings, bare-year dates and clipped company names are the things that break Greenhouse and Workday. We call them out.
Fix it in the same run
Beyond the diagnosis, the tool rewrites your resume around that job and exports a single-column, ATS-ready PDF with a matching cover letter.
How to check your resume in three steps
- 1. Upload your resume. The PDF text is extracted in your browser. Non-resume documents are rejected, so the score always reflects a real resume.
- 2. Paste the job description. The checker compares required skills, tools and seniority against what your resume actually says, and detects the hiring country so the conventions match that market.
- 3. Read the score and fix it. You get the ATS score, the match breakdown, missing keywords and coaching notes, plus a rewritten ATS-ready PDF you can download and send.
ATS resume checker FAQs
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS (applicant tracking system) resume checker reads your resume the way software like Greenhouse, Workday or Lever does, then reports what those parsers can and cannot read: section headings, job titles, employers, date ranges, contact details and keywords.
How is the ATS score calculated?
The score combines parseability (single-column layout, standard headings, complete date ranges, no tables or graphics) with keyword coverage against the job description you paste in. You also get a separate match score broken into keywords, title alignment, formatting, experience relevance and quantified impact.
Is the ATS check free?
Yes. Every account gets 3 free checks and rewrites each month, and the missing-keyword list is included on all of them. Paid plans add higher monthly limits.
Will my resume still read like a human wrote it?
Yes. The rewrite keeps your own facts, employers, dates and currency figures exactly as written and avoids AI-sounding buzzwords, so a hiring manager reading after the ATS sees a normal, specific resume.
Score your resume against a real job posting
Three free checks every month, missing keywords included on all of them.
