What is an ATS and why your CV needs a check
An ATS, or Applicant Tracking System, is the software many companies and job portals use to collect CVs. It reads the text of your CV, looks for job titles, dates and skills, and helps recruiters filter and rank applicants. If it can't find what it is looking for, a good candidate can be missed.
This page opens the CV maker with the ATS score panel already open. Build or paste your CV in the editor and the score updates as you type, from 0 to 100, with a list of things to fix. It runs in your browser.
What the ATS resume checker looks at
Contact details: your name, a valid email address and a phone number.
A job title under your name.
A short profile at the top, about 2 to 3 sentences.
Work experience with job title, company and start and end dates. Internships and projects count if you have no jobs yet.
Bullet points that start with action words like Managed, Built or Trained, with at least 2 points per job.
Results with numbers, such as how many, how much, or by what percent.
Points that are short and clear, roughly one or two lines.
Education, and a list of at least 6 skills.
No leftover blanks in square brackets, and no I or my.
A length of 1 or 2 pages, and standard section names like Experience and Skills.
Each item shows a tick, a half tick or a cross, and a one-line tip. The score comes with a grade: Excellent, Good, Needs work or Weak.
Match your CV to a job advert
Most ATS rank CVs on how well they match the job. Paste the job advert into the checker. It picks out the key words and two-word terms from the advert, then shows which ones are in your CV and which are missing.
With an advert pasted, the keyword match becomes a large part of the score. Add the missing words where they are true for you: in your skills list, your profile or your job points. Don't copy the advert or add skills you don't have. A recruiter will read the CV after the software does.
How to improve your ATS score quickly
Fix the crosses first. Missing dates, an empty skills list or no job title cost the most.
Rewrite job points to start with an action word and add one number to a few of them.
Use plain headings. A creative name for a section can confuse the scanner.
For large company portals, the one-column designs are the safest to read. The checker tells you when your design is not one of them.
Keep it to two pages: the last ten years and your strongest points.
When the score is where you want it, download your CV as a PDF from the same page.
One CV, many job adverts
Different jobs use different words for the same work. One advert asks for bookkeeping, another for accounts payable, a third for financial reporting. Before each application, paste the new advert into the checker and look at the missing words. Often you only need to adjust your job title line, your profile and a few skills, not the whole CV. Your CV is saved in this browser, so you can come back to it for the next application. Keep a copy of each version you send as a PDF, so you know what a company has seen when they call you for an interview.
Questions people ask
How do I check my resume's ATS score?
Type or paste your CV into the editor on this page. The ATS panel is already open and shows your score and what to fix as you type.
Can I check my CV against a specific job?
Yes. Paste the job advert into the checker. It lists the key words found in your CV and the ones missing.
What is a good ATS score?
The checker calls 85 and above Excellent and 70 and above Good. Use the list of fixes rather than chasing 100.
Does the score guarantee an interview?
No. Each company's software and recruiters are different. The checker helps your CV read clearly and match the job, which improves your chances.
Which CV design is best for ATS?
Simple, one-column layouts are the easiest for scanners. The checker suggests the one-column designs when your current design is not one of them.
Is my CV uploaded?
No. The ATS check runs inside your browser, and your CV is saved in this browser. Text is only sent if you use the AI writing helper.
