How the ATS score is calculated

55%
Keyword Match

How many of the important keywords and phrases from the job description appear in your resume. This is the biggest factor because ATS systems primarily rank candidates by keyword density.

25%
Section Completeness

Whether your resume includes the three required sections every ATS expects: Experience, Education, and Skills. Missing any of these significantly reduces your parse score.

20%
Formatting Safety

Checks for tables, columns, text boxes, and special characters that cause ATS systems to mis-read or drop content. A clean, single-column layout always parses best.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ATS checker really free?
Yes. Paste your resume and job description and get your ATS score, keyword analysis, section check, and formatting report completely free — no account required.
What ATS score should I aim for?
Aim for 75 or above. Scores above 80 put you in the top tier of applicants for most ATS systems. Below 60 and your resume may be filtered before a human ever sees it.
Why is my formatting score low?
ATS systems struggle with tables, multi-column layouts, text boxes, and special characters. If your resume was built in a fancy editor or template, it may look great to humans but fail automated parsing.
Does the checker store my resume?
No. All analysis happens in your browser. Your resume text is never sent to a server and is deleted as soon as you leave or reset the page.
What's the difference between free and Pro?
Free gives you an ATS score, keyword list, section check and basic suggestions. Pro unlocks AI-powered rewrite suggestions, full detailed report download, job description deep matching, unlimited scans, score history tracking, and access to the ATS-friendly resume builder.
