Paste your resume and the job description. See how well your keywords match and catch the formatting issues applicant tracking systems trip over. No sign up, no upload.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software most employers use to collect and sort job applications. Before a human reads your resume, the ATS parses it into structured data and often ranks it against the job description. Resumes that parse cleanly and use the language of the posting are far more likely to reach a recruiter.
This tool does two honest things. It pulls the most important keywords from the job description and shows which ones appear in your resume, and it runs concrete readability checks for the issues that commonly break ATS parsing: missing contact details, unusual length, missing standard headings, no bullet points, and missing dates. It does not pretend to be any specific employer's ATS, and a high score is a strong signal, not a guarantee.
Yes. It is completely free and needs no account or file upload. Paste your resume text and an optional job description and you get instant results in your browser.
Two things. First, how many of the important keywords from the job description appear in your resume, since most applicant tracking systems rank resumes partly on keyword relevance. Second, concrete readability checks: contact details, length, standard section headings, bullet points, and dates. It does not replicate any specific employer's ATS, it surfaces the issues those systems commonly penalize.
Add the missing keywords to your resume only where they are genuinely true of your experience, ideally inside achievement bullets rather than a keyword list. Mirror the exact wording the job posting uses, for example write 'project management' if that is the phrase in the posting.
No. A strong keyword match and clean formatting make it far more likely your resume is parsed and ranked well, but hiring decisions depend on your actual experience and how you present it. Use the score as a guide, not a guarantee.
