About the ATS Resume Checker
Before a human ever reads your resume, an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) often scores it against the job description. If your resume does not contain enough of the right keywords, it can be filtered out automatically — no matter how qualified you are. This free ATS resume checker shows you exactly how well your resume matches a specific job.
Paste your resume and the job description, and the tool extracts the important keywords from the posting, checks which ones appear in your resume, and calculates a match score. It then lists the matched keywords and, crucially, the missing ones you should consider adding — naturally and truthfully — to improve your chances of passing the screen.
The analysis runs entirely in your browser, so both your resume and the job description stay private. Use it for every application: tailor your resume to each role, close the keyword gaps, and dramatically increase the odds that a recruiter actually sees your profile.

Tips to get the most out of it
- Only add keywords that genuinely reflect your skills and experience.

- Use both the full term and its acronym once (e.g. “Search Engine Optimization (SEO)”).
- Tailor your resume for every role — one generic resume rarely scores well.
Frequently Asked Questions

There is no official threshold, but a higher match is better. Aim to include the most important role-specific skills and terms; closing obvious gaps meaningfully improves your chances.
