      📘 How to improve your ATS score Click to expand
      1. Use a clean single-column layout — Tables and multi-column formats confuse ATS parsers.
      2. Add clear section headings — Use standard labels: Work Experience, Skills, Education, Summary, Certifications.
      3. Mirror keywords from the job description — Use the exact same phrasing, not synonyms.
      4. Include measurable achievements — Numbers and percentages score higher than vague statements.
      5. Use strong action verbs — Led, Built, Managed, Delivered, Increased, Reduced…
      6. Add your contact info at the top — Email, phone, LinkedIn profile URL.
      7. Keep it between 400–800 words — Too short looks thin; too long dilutes keyword density.
      8. Save as PDF (text-based) or DOCX — Never use image-based PDFs or scanned documents.

      FAQ

      What is an ATS score?
      An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score reflects how well your CV is parsed and ranked by automated hiring software. A higher score means your CV is more likely to pass automated screening and reach a human recruiter.
      What file formats are supported?
      PDF and DOCX files up to 5MB are supported. These are the two most common CV formats accepted by recruiters and ATS systems worldwide.
      Is my CV stored or shared?
      No. Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your CV is never uploaded to any server, stored, or shared. It is processed entirely client-side and disappears when you close the tab.
      What score should I aim for?
      Aim for 75 or above to be considered ATS Friendly. Scores between 51–74 need improvement, and scores below 51 carry a high risk of being filtered out before a recruiter sees your CV.
      How do I improve my ATS score?
      Use a clean single-column layout, include clear section headings (Experience, Skills, Education), add measurable achievements with numbers, use standard fonts, and include relevant keywords from the job description.

      Free Online ATS CV Checker

      This free ATS CV checker runs entirely in your browser — no uploads, no accounts. It uses a rule-based scoring engine to instantly analyze your resume for ATS compatibility: keyword match, section structure, formatting quality, and experience signals.

      What does this tool check?

      • ATS Score — Overall score out of 100 with a Friendly / Needs Improvement / High Risk rating.
      • Keyword Match (40%) — Compares your CV against the pasted job description for exact and semantic keyword matches.
      • Keyword Placement (20%) — Checks whether keywords appear in high-value sections like Summary and Skills.
      • Section Recognition (15%) — Detects standard ATS-readable sections: Experience, Skills, Education, Summary, Certifications.
      • Experience Recency (15%) — Identifies recent dates and estimates career level.
      • Formatting Quality (10%) — Flags ATS-unfriendly formatting heuristics based on extracted text.
      • Warnings & Suggestions — Specific, actionable fixes you can apply immediately.

      Why does ATS compatibility matter?

      Over 75% of CVs are rejected by ATS software before a recruiter ever reads them. Small formatting issues, missing sections, or poor keyword use can eliminate an otherwise strong candidate. This tool helps you fix those issues before you apply.
