What is an ATS Resume Checker?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies and most mid-size employers to filter resumes before a recruiter ever reads them. Our free ATS checker analyzes your resume the same way these systems do — checking formatting, keywords, contact information, and structure.

What we check

  • ✓Formatting compatibility — tables, columns, headers, fonts, and special characters that break ATS parsing
  • ✓Keyword optimization — industry-standard skills and terms that ATS systems search for
  • ✓Contact information — name, email, phone, LinkedIn, location in parseable format
  • ✓Measurable results — quantified achievements with numbers, percentages, and dollar amounts
  • ✓Section structure — proper ordering and labeling of experience, education, and skills sections

How to improve your ATS score

  1. Use a simple, single-column format — no tables, text boxes, or graphics
  2. Include exact keywords from the job description in your skills and experience
  3. Use standard section headings: "Experience," "Education," "Skills"
  4. Quantify your achievements — numbers are what ATS and recruiters both look for
  5. Save as PDF (unless the application specifically asks for .docx)
