What is an ATS score?

An ATS score estimates how well your resume will perform when processed by Applicant Tracking System software. It considers keyword match, section structure, action verbs, and formatting quality.

How ATS Resume Checkers Work

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are used by over 98% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes before a human ever reads them. They scan for keywords, section headers, and formatting cues to rank candidates automatically. A resume that looks great in Word can still fail ATS parsing if it's missing the right structure or terminology.

What this tool checks

Contact information — email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile
Key sections — Work Experience, Education, Skills, and a professional Summary
Keyword match — how many of the job description's key terms appear in your resume
Action verbs — strong, results-oriented verbs that ATS and recruiters look for
Quantifiable achievements — numbers, percentages, and metrics that demonstrate impact
Formatting — resume length, structure, and common ATS parsing pitfalls

Is my resume data private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your resume text is never sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet — the tool still works perfectly.

How to improve your ATS score

Mirror keywords directly from the job description — same spelling, same phrasing
Use standard section headers: "Work Experience", "Education", "Skills"
Start every bullet point with a strong past-tense action verb (Led, Built, Improved, Delivered)
Quantify every achievement you can: percentages, dollar amounts, team sizes, timelines
Avoid tables, columns, and text boxes — ATS parsers often skip them entirely
Keep your resume 1–2 pages (350–800 words for most roles)
Include your LinkedIn URL, email, and phone on every version

What ATS score is good enough?

A score of 70+ means your resume has solid structural foundations. A score of 80+ with keyword match from a specific job description means you're well-positioned to pass ATS filters. Focus on hitting 75+ on structure first, then use keyword analysis to push higher for each application.

Should I tailor my resume for every job?

Yes — this is the single biggest improvement most job seekers can make. A resume tailored with the specific keywords from a job posting can increase your match rate by 40–60%. Use this tool with each new job description to find the specific gaps before you apply.
