What Our ATS Checker Analyzes
We evaluate your CV across six weighted criteria — the same factors real ATS software uses to rank applications.
Keyword Analysis (30%)
Are the right industry keywords present? ATS filters by exact keyword match.
Formatting (20%)
Tables, columns, and graphics confuse ATS parsers. We check for clean, readable structure.
Section Completeness (20%)
Every essential section — summary, experience, education, skills — must be present.
Content Quality (20%)
Action verbs, quantified achievements, and results-oriented language improve ranking.
Contact Info (5%)
Email, phone, and location must be clearly present and parseable.
Date Consistency (5%)
Inconsistent date formats can confuse ATS and flag your CV as poorly structured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ATS checkers and how to pass them.
What is an ATS checker?
An ATS checker analyzes your CV against the criteria used by Applicant Tracking Systems — software employers use to filter applications automatically. It scores your CV on keywords, formatting, sections, and content quality.
Is this ATS checker free?
Yes. Upload your CV and get your ATS score instantly — no account required. Signing up for free unlocks the detailed breakdown with specific issues and fix recommendations.
What is a good ATS score?
A score of 80 or above is considered good ATS compatibility. Scores below 60 indicate significant issues that are likely causing your CV to be filtered out before a human reads it.
Why do 75% of resumes get rejected by ATS?
Most CVs fail because they use complex formatting (tables, columns, graphics) that ATS can't parse, lack exact job description keywords, or are missing key sections. Our checker identifies all of these instantly.
How can I improve my ATS score?
Use a clean single-column format, include keywords from the job description, add all essential sections, and quantify your achievements with numbers. Our checker gives you a personalized fix list.
What file formats are supported?
PDF (.pdf) and Word document (.docx) up to 5MB. Make sure your file contains selectable text, not a scanned image.
