Free ATS resume checker
Paste your CV or resume below for an instant, heuristic ATS score, with a transparent breakdown and concrete fixes. Add a job description too and it also checks keyword coverage.
ATS behaviour varies by employer and software. This score is a heuristic guide to common issues, not a guarantee of how any specific system will read your CV.
Questions about the ATS checker
Does this checker upload or store my CV?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you paste here is uploaded, saved, or sent to a server.
Is this the same as a real applicant tracking system?
No. Every ATS parses and scores CVs differently, and most employers add their own filters on top. This is a heuristic check for common, well-known issues, not a guarantee of how any specific system will treat your CV.
What does the score actually measure?
Five things: whether standard sections are present, length, date formatting consistency, bullet point usage, and formatting risks such as tab-heavy or column-like lines. Add a job description and it also checks keyword coverage.
Why paste text instead of uploading a file?
Pasting plain text avoids the file-parsing step entirely, so the check reflects your content, not how well this page happens to read your file format.
What should I do with a low score?
Read the suggested fixes below your score. They point at the specific sections, formatting, or keywords that are missing or weak, in order of likely impact.
Is there a more thorough, AI-powered version?
Yes. RoleRamp's app includes an AI-powered CV tailoring workflow that rewrites your CV for a specific job description and shows a role match score, reviewed by you before anything is exported.
