How the ATS check works
Upload a PDF or DOCX, or paste the text. Nothing is saved for guest checks.
Paste the full posting so the scorer knows what to match against.
See matched keywords with evidence and the requirements you are missing.
Each gap comes with a suggested section and phrasing to add it to.
What your ATS score means
85–100 — strong. Your resume names the core requirements and backs them with evidence.
70–84 — close. Usually two or three missing hard skills, or a title that does not match the posting.
50–69 — partial. The resume reads generically. Rewrite the summary and top bullets in the role's own language.
Below 50 — check the layout first. Tables, columns, and text inside images make parsers drop whole sections.
