An ATS resume checker that starts with the job

1. Give it the job. Paste the advert, or pick a vacancy you applied to through Openings or saved in the Job Tracker.
2. It reads the requirements. Required and preferred skills (from “Must have” and “Good to have” parts), years of experience (“3–5 years”, “fresher”), certifications (AWS, CA Inter, CTET, a wireman licence …), education level and field, and asks like languages, location, notice period or a two-wheeler. You can remove, add or switch any of them.
3. It looks for each one in your resume, through synonyms and word forms, and shows where it found it: a job, a project, Skills or the summary.
4. It scores the match and lists the fixes that would raise the score most, starting with the ones that could get you rejected outright.

Real screening often rejects a resume on one hard requirement before anyone reads it. The check treats these as knock-outs and caps the job score at 49 while any is open:

• more than six months short of the minimum experience (“needs 5 years, shows 3 years 4 months”);
• a required certification or licence that is not on the resume;
• a required degree that is missing;
• less than half of the required skills.

The fixes are always worded as “if you have X, add it”. The check never suggests claiming something you do not have; that would not survive the interview.

The score is about what you wrote. The layout is shown beside it as a badge: green for a one-column layout, amber for a table or graphic header, red for a sidebar, which some job portals read out of order. Changing the design moves the badge, never the score.

Without a job, or alongside it, the general check looks at what any screening software and recruiter needs:

• name, email, phone and city filled in (placeholders do not count), and a job title under your name;
• dates written one way, with no end date before its start;
• length that suits your experience: one page for freshers, two for most experienced people;
• a summary of 30–80 words that names the role and your main skills;
• 3–6 bullet points for recent jobs, starting with action words, with numbers in at least half of them;
• 8–25 skills, mostly hard skills, backed up by your work and projects;
• standard section names that ATS recognise.

The overall score is 40% general and 60% job match when a job is set. It is strict on purpose: a typical good resume scores in the 80s, not 100.

Download your resume as a PDF and upload it back: the check reads the file the way an ATS would and shows the text it gets. It tells you whether the text can be read at all, whether two columns get mixed up, whether your name, email and phone come through, which headings were found and how many of your words survived. The file is read and not kept. A resume saved as a picture or a scan fails this test, whatever it looks like.

Every company configures its ATS differently, and people make the final decision. The score is guidance based on how these systems commonly work, not a copy of any vendor's software and not a guarantee of an interview. Adverts in languages other than English are read only for the English words in them.
