How Our ATS Checker Works

A good ATS check is more than just a score. It tests your resume's readability on systems like Workday, checks for keywords relevant to the job, and ensures your content is specific enough to pass the first screening.

01

ATS Score

Get an instant score that tells you if your resume is likely to be read correctly by popular US applicant tracking systems like Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo.

02

Keyword & Skill Analysis

We'll identify the key skills and qualifications on your resume and show you which ones are missing based on what US employers and their ATS are looking for.

03

Formatting & Readability Check

ATS software can get confused by incorrect section titles, inconsistent dates, or complex layouts. We scan for these issues so your qualifications don't get overlooked.

04

Actionable Fixes

You'll receive a simple, prioritized list of recommendations. Start with the most important fixes to quickly improve how your resume performs with both software and recruiters.

Common Reasons Resumes Fail ATS Scans

Even highly qualified candidates are rejected by applicant tracking systems because of simple formatting or content mistakes.

Complex Formatting: Columns, Tables, and Graphics

Most applicant tracking systems, including Workday and iCIMS, can't read resumes with tables, columns, or images. Stick to a clean, single-column layout to be safe.

Vague Descriptions Instead of Achievements

Recruiters in the US want to see your impact, not just your duties. Use numbers to show what you accomplished, like how you increased revenue or saved time.

Not Tailored with Keywords from the Job Description

Applicant tracking systems screen for keywords from the job description. If your resume doesn't include them, it's likely to be ranked lower and might never be seen by a person.

Why You Should Add a Job Description

Scanning your resume alone checks its format. Adding a job description from LinkedIn or a company website lets you see exactly which keywords and skills you're missing for a specific job.

If you're creating a general-purpose resume, a document-only scan is a great start. If you're applying for a specific role, always paste the job description to find and fill content gaps.

Best workflow

Best Practice: First, fix your resume for general ATS compatibility. Second, tailor it to a specific job description by adding missing keywords.

An ATS Score Isn't Everything

A score is only helpful if you know how to improve it.

A simple score doesn't explain *why* your resume failed or what to fix. Our tool gives you a score plus a list of missing keywords, formatting errors, and actionable steps so you can make effective changes.

A successful resume has three things: clean formatting (single-column, US Letter), keywords from the job description, and bullet points that show your accomplishments. Our checker reviews all three.
