DraftlyCV

Free online tool

A free ATS resume checker you can run from anywhere in the world.

Most large employers filter applications through an applicant tracking system before a recruiter reads a word. This free online checker reads your resume the way that software does, compares it to the job description you paste in, and tells you exactly what is missing.

What the checker actually reads

Parseability: whether your layout, tables, and headers survive text extraction.

Keyword coverage: hard skills, tools, certifications, and titles named in the posting.

Evidence: whether a matched keyword appears inside a real bullet rather than a skills list alone.

Formatting risks: images, columns, text boxes, and non-standard section names.

Using the score without gaming it

A score above 80 means the posting's core requirements are visible and evidenced.

Never add a skill you do not have. Add the ones you do have that you left out.

Re-run the check after each edit; the score should move for a real reason.

Rewrite one resume per role family rather than one per application.
