Quick answer: Free ATS resume checker: paste the job description and your resume — get an honest match score, missing keywords, and a formatting fix list. 100% in-browser, no signup, unlimited scans.

How the score is computed (honest method)

Single words + two-word phrases from the job description are extracted, stop-words removed, then checked against your resume text (case-insensitive, exact + plural-tolerant). Score = share of unique JD terms found. Format checks are heuristic (regex/structure) — the same signals public ATS guidance recommends. No employer system is contacted; this is an alignment estimate, labeled as such.

How to use

  1. Paste the complete job description in the first box.
  2. Paste your full resume text in the second box.
  3. Scan — the score, matched/missing keywords and format checks appear instantly.
  4. Fix honestly (rephrase synonyms, add true keywords), re-scan until 65%+ — then apply.

About this tool

Applicant Tracking Systems rank resumes by keyword coverage and parse-ability before a human ever looks. This checker estimates both, locally in your browser: a keyword match score against the actual job description (unweighted single-word and two-word phrase matching with stop-word filtering), the matched and missing terms (add missing ones only where your experience genuinely supports them — swap synonyms, rephrase, never fabricate), and a format checklist covering what real ATS parsers choke on: a findable email and phone, standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills), consistent date formats, a sane length, and bullet usage. This is an honest estimation of alignment — not a connection to any employer's actual ATS, which nobody outside those systems can access (tools claiming to 'beat the ATS' with insider scores are overselling; we label exactly what we compute). Unlimited scans, no signup, no credits — your documents never leave the page. Paid scanners like Jobscan charge monthly for the same comparison; here it is free with the method printed on the page.

FAQ

Is this a real ATS?
No — and no tool outside the employer can be. It estimates keyword alignment + parse-friendliness using the same principles public ATS guidance describes; the method is printed right on the results.
What score should I aim for?
65%+ is a strong target, 45–65% borderline. Chasing 100% usually means keyword stuffing — recruiters notice, and some systems penalize it.
How do I fix missing terms honestly?
If you have the skill under a different name ('built CI/CD pipelines' vs 'Jenkins'), rephrase. If you do not have it — do not add it; interviews expose padding and honesty wins offers.
What formatting do ATS parsers hate?
Text inside images, multi-column layouts, tables, headers/footers carrying contact info, and unusual section titles ('Where I've Been' instead of 'Experience'). The checklist flags the detectable ones.
Are my documents uploaded?
Never — the comparison runs entirely in your browser; you can disconnect from the internet and it still works.
Is it really unlimited and free?
Yes — no credits, no signup, no watermark. Compare with paid checkers and keep your money.
