Free ATS resume checker
Paste your CV text and, if you have one, the job advert. You'll see what applicant tracking software and recruiters look for first — and which words from the advert your CV is missing. No sign-up. Nothing you paste is saved.
What the checker looks at
- Email and phone number
- Standard headings: experience, education, skills
- Length, and numbers in your points
- Weak phrases like “responsible for”
- Important words from the job advert
What an ATS actually does
An applicant tracking system stores applications and lets recruiters search and filter them. Most read the text of your CV into fields — name, contact, jobs, education, skills — and recruiters then search for words like “Tally”, “ICU” or “AutoCAD”.
That is why the basics matter: real text (not a scanned image), standard headings, one reading order, and the same words the job advert uses for skills you really have.
Making your CV ATS-friendly
- Use a single-column template for online applications
- Save as PDF from a CV builder, not a photo or scan
- Write skills as the advert does: “MS Excel”, not just “computers”
- Keep contact details in the main text, not in a header image
- Avoid tables and text boxes for important information
Questions
Is my CV stored when I use the checker?
No. The text is checked once to show you the result and is not saved or logged.
Does a high score guarantee an interview?
No tool can promise that. The score shows how complete and readable your CV is, and how well it uses the advert's words.
Should I copy every keyword from the advert?
Only the ones that are true for you. Interviewers will ask about anything you list.
Are two-column CVs bad for ATS?
Some systems read columns in the wrong order. For online applications, a single-column layout is the safe choice.
