If your resume does not pass ATS, nothing else matters. Our checker finds every issue in under 60 seconds and tells you exactly what to fix.
Our ATS compatibility check runs your resume through the same logic Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse use — keyword scanning, section parsing, and format compliance — so you know where you stand before you apply.
For: Active applicants & laid-off professionalsWe pull 15–25 soft skills and 20–40 hard skills directly from your target job description and compare them against your resume word by word — showing exactly what is present and what is missing.
For: Career switchers & industry changers5–7 prioritised recommendations based on the actual gaps between your resume and the job description. Critical issues first. Each suggestion tells you what to fix, where, and why it matters.
For: Anyone with no feedback on why they are not getting responsesEvery section of your resume is scored individually. Here is what each check looks for.
Measured against your role level. Too short fails comprehensiveness. Too long signals poor communication to the recruiter who reads after ATS.
"Project Managment" will not match "Project Management" in a keyword scan. We catch errors standard spell-checkers miss because they do not understand resume-specific terminology.
ATS expects Contact Info, Summary, Work Experience, Education, and Skills. Missing any section lowers your score and can trigger automatic rejection in some platforms.
We flag bullet points that are generic or passive. "Managed a team" scores lower than "Managed a team of 8 that delivered 3 launches in 18 months."
We scan every bullet for passive verbs like "helped with" or "was responsible for" and suggest strong action verbs — the kind ATS and recruiters both respond to.
Multi-column layouts, tables, and embedded graphics break ATS parsing. If the system cannot read your resume, your work experience section may be skipped entirely.
Your summary is processed first by both ATS and recruiter. It needs your job title, core skills, and experience level in the first two sentences. A weak summary is one of the two most common critical failures.
A resume sent to 50 jobs unchanged scores poorly on most of them. Paste the job description and get a personalised keyword match score specific to that posting.
We check for name, email, phone, location, and LinkedIn URL — and flag any placed in a Word header or footer where ATS parsers cannot read them. Fixing this alone raises your score 10–15 points.
We show you the formula because you deserve to understand the number you are given.
Strong ATS alignment. Your resume will pass 70–100% of automated screening systems.

Major issues. Your resume is likely being auto-rejected before any recruiter sees it.
We evaluate your resume across 8 categories in under 30 seconds. Our ATS compatible resume check covers every dimension of compliance and recruiter readiness.
Three inputs. Thirty seconds. A score and a prioritised fix list.

Most qualified candidates are not failing interviews — they are never reaching them. The same four fixable issues appear in the majority of rejected resumes: missing keywords, broken formatting, a weak summary, and incomplete contact information. We built this tool specifically to surface those issues before you apply.
Our scoring formula — keyword coverage (40%), position alignment (35%), baseline compliance (25%) — is validated against the real parsing behaviour of Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse. We publish it openly because transparent tools produce better outcomes than black-box scores.
"The problem was never your experience. It was that the system could not see it. Now it can."
