Upload your resume for a free ATS resume check - a transparent score for how well it follows ATS best practices: layout, structure, and wording. No sign-up.
A general ATS best-practices check - add a job description later to see your match for that role.
The ATS check and the resume editor are free. Downloading (PDF/Word) and tailoring to a job take a plan or a pass.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software that collects and organizes applications. It reads your resume, pulls out your name, contact, jobs, and skills, and files them so a recruiter can search and sort. A filing cabinet with a search bar, not a gatekeeper with a stamp.
It measures how well your resume follows ATS best practices - clean file, parseable layout, standard sections, sensible wording. A higher score means software is more likely to read and file you correctly. It is not a pass/fail and not a guarantee.
A clean ATS score gets your resume read - but being read isn't being chosen. Replies come from relevance: a resume written in the language of the specific job, drawn from your real experience. Be readable (this score), then be relevant (tailor each application to the role).
A good ATS score gets your resume read. Getting a reply is about relevance - tailoring your resume to each posting you go after. Paste a job description and get a version written in that role's language, from your real experience.
