Is my resume ATS friendly?
Upload it above and find out. Most employers of any size run an applicant tracking system, and it reads your resume before a person does. A two-column layout, a heading it does not recognize, or a date format it cannot parse turns strong experience into empty fields. This free resume scanner analyzes your resume text against those failure modes, grades it out of 100, and names the fixes.
What the ATS score checks, and what it does not
The checker reads your resume on its own. It never sees a job posting, so it cannot tell you how well you match one. That is what the tailor below is for.
- Contact details a parser can actually read
- Section headings an applicant tracking system recognizes
- Consistent, machine-readable dates
- Tables, columns, and text boxes that break parsing
- Standard industry terms and action verbs
- Spelling, grammar, and typos
- Length for your experience level
- Whether your achievements carry numbers
- Formatting that stays consistent throughout
Already have a job description?
The checker reviews your resume on its own. If you are applying to something specific, our free resume tailor rewrites every section against that posting and shows you exactly what changed.
Common questions
How do I analyze my resume for free?
Upload or paste it above. There is no account, no card and no job description, and you get back a 0-100 score, what already works, what to improve, and any outright errors. It is checked on 9 things: contact details a parser can actually read; section headings an applicant tracking system recognizes; consistent, machine-readable dates; tables, columns, and text boxes that break parsing; standard industry terms and action verbs; spelling, grammar, and typos; length for your experience level; whether your achievements carry numbers; formatting that stays consistent throughout.
Do I need a job description?
No. That is the difference between this and our resume tailor. The checker reviews your resume on its own terms. If you already have a posting in hand, the tailor rewrites your resume against it.
Is it free?
Yes, a few checks a day with no account. Create a free account and you can review as often as you want.
Is my resume ATS friendly, and how do I check?
Upload it above and you get an ATS score out of 100. The score covers two things together: how cleanly an applicant tracking system can read your resume, and how well the writing holds up once it does, meaning your verbs, your metrics, your length and your spelling. Most large employers run one of these systems, and a resume it cannot parse gets filed as blank fields no matter how strong the experience is.
Is this a resume scanner or a resume grader?
Both names describe it. It scans the text of your resume and grades it out of 100 on 9 things, running from whether a parser can read your headings and dates through to whether your bullets carry numbers, and it gives you the specific fixes behind the score. What it does not do is compare you to a job posting, because it never sees one.
Do you keep my resume?
No. The text is analyzed and returned to your browser. Nothing is stored against an account, because there is no account.
