ATS checker FAQ
Is the ATS resume checker really free?
Yes. You get 3 free resume checks every day with no sign-up required. Create a free account to keep going, or use the resume builder to fix issues automatically.
How does the ATS checker work?
Paste your resume text (or upload a PDF/DOCX) and, optionally, the job description you're targeting. Our AI scores how well your resume matches an Applicant Tracking System's criteria, lists the keywords you're missing, and gives you specific fixes.
What is a good ATS score?
Aim for 80 or above. A score in that range means your resume has the right keywords, clear sections, quantified achievements, and clean formatting that ATS software can parse. Below 60 usually means missing keywords or formatting problems.
Do I need to upload my resume?
No — you can simply paste the text. Uploading a PDF or DOCX is just a convenience; we extract the text and never store your resume.
Why do resumes get rejected by ATS?
The most common reasons are missing keywords from the job description, graphic-heavy or multi-column formatting the parser can't read, no quantified achievements, and missing standard sections. The checker flags these for you.
