An ATS resume checker analyzes your resume against a specific job description and scores how well it matches the keywords, skills, and phrasing an applicant tracking system would look for.

DraftlyCV extracts the key skills and requirements from the job description, then matches them against your resume section by section and weights each match by importance.
