How the ATS checker scores your resume
Keyword match (45 points) compares the skills and tools in the job description with your resume. This is what recruiters search for inside an ATS. Sections and contact details (20) checks for email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub, education, skills, projects and experience. Impact (20) looks for bullets that start with action verbs and show results with numbers. Length and readability (15) checks you're on one page and using an ATS-friendly layout.
ATS resume tips for freshers
- Use one column, standard headings (Education, Skills, Projects, Experience) and a common font.
- Tailor the skills and project bullets to each job: mirror the exact words in the job description.
- Lead every bullet with a verb and a result: “Built a React dashboard used by 300 students”.
- Put your strongest 2–3 projects first, with the tech stack and a GitHub link.
- Keep it to one page and export a text-based PDF. Name it like FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software companies use to collect and filter applications. Recruiters search it by keywords from the job description, so a resume that doesn't mention the right skills may never be seen, even if you're a good fit.
Is this ATS checker really free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no limit. The check runs entirely in your browser, so your resume is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
What's a good ATS score?
Aim for 75 or more before applying. Most of the score comes from matching the job's keywords, so tailor your resume for each role instead of sending the same one everywhere.
Should I add every missing keyword?
Only add skills you genuinely have. Put them where they show real use, such as a project or internship bullet, not only in the skills list. Recruiters and interviewers will ask about them.
PDF or Word: which is better for ATS?
A text-based PDF (exported from Word or Google Docs) works for almost every ATS. Avoid scanned PDFs, images, text boxes, tables and two-column layouts.
