FAQ
▸How does this ATS resume checker work?
Paste your resume text and press Check. You get a 0-100 score plus 11 pass/fail checks in seconds — the same signals applicant tracking systems look for.
▸Is the ATS checker really free?
Yes. The basic scan on this page is free and needs no signup (up to 20 scans per hour). The full report is also free — it just needs an account.
▸What does my ATS score mean?
80+ means your resume is structurally ATS-ready; 60-79 means fix the failed items; below 60 means high risk of being mis-parsed — fix every red item below.
▸What's the difference between the free scan and the full report?
The free scan checks format and completeness. The full report adds keyword matching against a specific job description, a missing-keyword list and one-click fixes in the editor.
▸Is this an ATS scanner or a simulator?
Both. It parses your resume like a common ATS does (sections, dates, bullets) and simulates what gets rejected — tables, decorative glyphs, missing headings.
▸Can I check a PDF or Word file?
This page checks pasted text. Open your PDF or Word file, select all, copy, and paste it here — file upload is on the roadmap.
▸How do I fix a failed check?
Every failed item shows a concrete fix. The SmartCV editor applies all of them with live ATS scoring, so you can fix as you write.
▸Do all companies use an ATS?
Most mid-size and large companies do. An ATS-friendly resume is safe either way — see the ATS Guide for details.
