FAQ
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume checker analyzes your resume against a specific job description and identifies which keywords are present or missing. Most companies use ATS software to filter resumes before a human ever reads them, so matching the right keywords is critical.
How does this free ATS checker work?
Our checker extracts keywords from the job description using frequency analysis, then scans your resume for those same terms. It calculates a match percentage based on how many of the job's key terms appear in your resume, and shows you exactly which keywords are missing.
What is a good ATS match score?
A score of 70% or higher is generally considered strong. Scores between 50-69% are moderate - you should add some missing keywords. Scores below 50% indicate your resume needs significant tailoring before submitting.
Is my resume data private?
Yes. All analysis is done entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your resume text and job description are never sent to our servers. We have no access to any data you paste into this tool.
How do I improve my ATS score?
Add the missing keywords naturally into your experience bullets, skills section, or summary. Use the exact phrasing from the job description where possible. Avoid stuffing keywords - integrate them as genuine accomplishments (e.g. 'Reduced costs using Python automation' rather than just listing 'Python').
