ATS Resume Checker — Score, Missing Keywords & Fix List
Paste the job posting + your resume: a keyword match score, the exact missing terms to add honestly, and a formatting checklist (contact info, section headers, dates, length) — computed locally, unlimited scans, nothing uploaded.
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
- Paste the complete job description in the first box.
- Paste your full resume text in the second box.
- Scan — the score, matched/missing keywords and format checks appear instantly.
- 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.
