ATS Compatibility Score

ATS compatibility: keyword match, template compliance, structure, and impact — based on how real ATS systems score resumes.

Template Compliance ℹ️ Checks if your resume template can be correctly parsed by ATS software. Multi-column and table layouts cause "text-layer scrambling" — your content becomes unreadable word salad. This score is used as a multiplier on your keyword match: a 30% template score means ATS will only find ~30% of your keywords regardless of how good your content is. 0%
Structure & Parsability ℹ️ Measures if your resume can be correctly parsed by ATS systems. Checks for standard sections like Experience, Education, Skills, and proper formatting. Low scores mean the ATS might misread your resume. 0%
Keyword Match ℹ️ Percentage of job description keywords found in your resume. ATS systems scan for exact matches and synonyms. Higher match = better chance of passing automated screening. Aim for 75%+. 0%
Impact & Metrics ℹ️ Measures quantifiable achievements using numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts. Example: "Increased sales by 35%" vs "Responsible for sales". ATS and recruiters prefer measurable impact. 0%

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)?

An ATS is software used by employers to filter and rank resumes automatically. About 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching human recruiters. Common ATS systems include Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and Lever.

Is this tool really free and private?

Yes! Unlike other resume checkers that require signup and upload your data to servers, we process everything in your browser using JavaScript. Your resume never leaves your device. We earn revenue through ethical advertising (Google AdSense) to keep the service free.

What file formats are supported?

We currently support PDF and DOCX (Microsoft Word) files. We recommend using PDF format as it preserves formatting better and is widely accepted by ATS systems.

How accurate is the ATS score?

Our algorithm replicates real ATS behavior using a multiplicative model: Template Compliance acts as a discount factor on your keyword score, because a broken template (multi-column, tables) physically prevents ATS parsers from finding your keywords — exactly like Workday, Taleo, and iCIMS behave. The four factors are: Template Compliance (multiplier), Keyword Match (50%), Structure (25%), and Impact/Metrics (25%). Based on Jobscan research covering 97.8% of Fortune 500 ATS systems.

What score should I aim for?

First, ensure your Template Compliance is 85%+ — a broken template will tank your score regardless of how good your content is. With a clean template, aim for 75+ overall (good), 85+ (excellent). The single biggest fix most candidates can make is switching from a multi-column or Canva-style template to a clean single-column ATS-friendly one.

How do I improve my ATS score?

In order of impact: (1) Fix your template — switch to a clean single-column layout if Template Compliance is below 85%; this is the highest-ROI fix. (2) Add missing keywords from the job description naturally into your experience section. (3) Use standard section headers (Professional Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications) — creative names like "My Journey" confuse ATS categorization. (4) Add quantifiable achievements with numbers and percentages.

Can I use this for multiple job applications?

Absolutely! We recommend tailoring your resume for each job application. Paste the specific job description, analyze your resume, and make targeted adjustments. There's no limit on how many times you can use the tool.

Does this work for all industries?

Yes. Our keyword matching uses semantic analysis that works across industries—tech, finance, healthcare, marketing, engineering, and more. The tool identifies role-specific keywords regardless of field.
