What job seekers say

Real feedback from people who used our ATS checker to land more interviews.

Found formatting issues I never knew existed. Within two weeks of fixing them, I got 3 interview requests from applications I'd sent weeks earlier.

Finally understand why my resume wasn't getting through. The keyword analysis was spot-on and actually told me exactly what to add — not just "add more keywords."

Best free ATS checker I've found. It actually explains what's wrong and how to fix it — not just a vague score that leaves you guessing. The PDF report is incredibly useful.

FAQ

Common questions answered

Everything you need to know about ATS resume checking.

An ATS resume checker is a tool that analyzes your resume for compatibility with applicant tracking systems — the software 75% of employers use to filter job applications before a human ever sees them. Our free ATS checker scans your resume for formatting issues, missing keywords, structural problems, and other factors that cause ATS rejection. Without passing the ATS, recruiters will never see your resume, making an ATS checker essential for modern job searches.
Yes — completely free. No credit card required, no hidden costs, and no paywall on your results. You get the full 16+ factor analysis and can download your complete PDF report at no charge. We provide free daily scans that reset every 24 hours, and you can earn additional checks by referring friends. There are no premium features hiding behind a paid tier.
Three key differences: (1) Truly free — competitors like Jobscan and Resume Worded show you a partial analysis then ask for payment to see the full results. We show everything, always free. (2) No signup — you land on the page, upload your resume, and get results. No email, no account, no friction. (3) PDF download — you keep your full analysis report forever, not just a score on a screen.
Our AI is trained on real ATS requirements from major platforms including Taleo, Greenhouse, Workday, and iCIMS. We analyze 16+ critical factors including parsing accuracy, keyword optimization, formatting compatibility, and structural integrity. While no ATS checker can guarantee results with every single ATS variant (there are hundreds), our analysis is based on the most widely-used ATS standards and industry best practices.
Approximately 60 seconds from upload to report. Simply upload your PDF and within one minute you'll receive a comprehensive report covering all 16+ ATS compatibility factors — formatting, keywords, grammar, skills, and specific actionable recommendations. The entire process from upload to PDF download takes just a few minutes.
Yes. Your resume is processed securely over an encrypted connection and is never stored permanently on our servers. After analysis, your file is automatically deleted. We never share, sell, or use your resume data for any purpose other than generating your ATS compatibility report. Your information stays yours.
Currently PDF only, which is the most ATS-friendly format. PDFs preserve your formatting and ensure consistent parsing across different ATS systems. We recommend always submitting resumes as PDFs unless an employer specifically requests Word format.
Studies consistently show that 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching human recruiters. Our checker identifies exactly why your resume might be getting filtered out — and gives you specific fixes. By addressing the issues we identify, you significantly increase your chances of reaching a human recruiter. Many users report receiving more interview callbacks after optimizing their resumes based on our analysis.
