ATS Resume Checker
Check your resume against a job description for keyword match, missing sections, and ATS formatting issues — instantly.
Your resume
Job description
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Add your resume
Paste the text, upload a PDF, or load your saved Resume Builder data.
Paste the job posting
Copy the full job description you are applying to.
Get your score
See your match score, missing keywords, and exactly what to fix.
When people use it
Before you hit submit
Run a final check against the exact job posting before submitting an application, catching missing keywords or formatting issues while there is still time to fix them.
Tailoring for each application
A resume tuned for one job rarely scores well for another. Paste each new job description and adjust your wording based on what is actually missing.
Catching formatting mistakes early
Missing section headings, absent contact details, or a resume with no quantified achievements are easy to miss on your own — this surfaces them in seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Is this ATS resume checker really free?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you can check your resume.
Does my resume get uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your resume and the job description are never sent anywhere.
What file formats are supported?
Upload a PDF that contains selectable text, paste your resume text directly, or load the resume you already built with our Resume Builder. Scanned image PDFs cannot be read.
How is the score calculated?
Half the score comes from how many key terms in the job description also appear in your resume. The other half comes from resume health checks: contact details, standard section headings, length, quantified achievements, generic filler phrases, and employment dates.
Does a high score guarantee an interview?
No. A high score means your resume is unlikely to be filtered out by ATS software and speaks the same language as the job posting — it does not judge your actual experience or how a human will read it.
Should I run this for every job I apply to?
Yes. Keyword relevance changes with every job posting, so re-checking against each new job description helps you tailor your resume instead of sending the same version everywhere.
