ATS resume checker FAQ
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS (applicant tracking system) checker analyzes your resume the way hiring software does: it parses your contact details, work history, education, and skills, then flags anything that is missing, unreadable, or weakly written. Ours returns a 0–100 score across six categories with specific fixes for each issue.
Is this resume checker really free?
Yes — you can check your resume twice without creating an account, and five times with a free account. No credit card required.
What file formats can I upload?
PDF and Word documents (DOCX). Most resumes exported from any builder or editor work directly.
What is a good ATS resume score?
Aim for 80 or above. 70–79 usually means a few concrete gaps (missing metrics, thin summary, sparse skills); below 70 means the resume likely needs structural work. The report tells you exactly which category is costing points.
How do I make my resume ATS-friendly?
Use a single-column layout without tables, text boxes, or graphics; standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills); a common font; and a DOCX or text-based PDF export. Our Harvard and Minimalist templates are built to these rules.
Is my resume data safe?
Your file is processed to generate the score and never sold or shared. You can request deletion of your data at any time via the data deletion page.
