See what an applicant tracking system reads before a human ever does.
An ATS resume checker reads your resume the way applicant tracking software does — extracting the text, looking for standard section headings, and matching the job description's keywords — then reports what it could not find. This one runs entirely in your browser, so your resume is never uploaded to anyone.
No. The file is read by your browser using the File API, parsed on your device, and scored by JavaScript running in the page. There is no upload endpoint on this site — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the checker still works.
Almost always something mechanical: the PDF is a scan with no selectable text, the layout is two columns that flatten into interleaved nonsense, the section headings are creative rather than conventional, or contact details sit in a document header the parser never reads. This tool checks each of those.
No. Modern systems rank rather than pass-fail, and a recruiter reads what surfaces — a resume padded with terms you cannot discuss falls apart in the first screening call. Add only what you genuinely have, in the posting's own wording, inside the role where you used it.
No, and treat any tool claiming that with suspicion. Vendors do not publish their ranking algorithms and each employer configures its own. This score models the checks that are common to all of them — parseability, structure, keyword coverage — so it tells you what to fix, not what will happen.
