Free ATS Resume Checker

Check if your resume can pass applicant tracking systems. Free 10-point ATS formatting test - no signup required for the basic check.

The problem

99.7% of recruiters use applicant tracking systems to filter candidates. If your CV cannot be parsed by the ATS, a human never sees it. Most rejections happen at the parsing stage, not the review stage.

How it works

Upload your CV and paste a job description. The free check runs 10 formatting tests: plain text parseability, section headers, date format, fonts, layout structure, headers/footers, tables, file format, contact info, and keyword presence. You get a pass/fail for each, with specific fixes.
