What an ATS score actually tells you
Software reads it first
Most large employers run your resume through an applicant tracking system before a person ever sees it. If the parser cannot read your file, your experience never gets a hearing.
Formatting decides what survives
Tables, text boxes, sidebars and skill bars break parsers. A clean single column with standard headings is what comes out the other side intact.
Keywords decide the match
Recruiters search their system for the exact words in the posting. Mirror the wording of the job description and your resume turns up in that search.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is software companies use to filter resumes before a human reads them. Most large employers use one. When you apply online your resume goes through the system first, so if it cannot read or match your file, a recruiter never sees it.
What do ATS filters look for?
Three things: keywords taken from the job description, clean single column formatting the parser can actually read, and standard section headings such as Work Experience, Education and Skills. Tables, text boxes, sidebars and images are what break most parsers.
How is my ATS score calculated?
We read your PDF and run six checks: contact details, core sections, resume length, action verbs, quantified impact, and keyword match against the job description you paste. Each check carries a weight and your score is the weighted total out of 100.
Why do resumes get filtered out?
The usual reasons are a PDF exported from a design tool where the text is really an image, a two column layout with sidebars and skill bars, missing keywords from the posting, one generic resume sent to every job, and creative section headings the parser cannot categorise.
Is the checker free?
Yes. The score is free, there is no account and no email wall. Upload a PDF, read your result, then open the builder if you want to fix what it found.
