How the ATS checker works
A straightforward process that gives you actionable insights in seconds.
Build or Upload Your Resume
Create a resume in the builder or upload an existing PDF. The ATS checker works with any resume made in ResumeStudio — no extra setup required.
Run the ATS Scan
The checker analyzes six key areas: contact information, professional summary, work experience, skills and keywords, education, and formatting. Each section gets an individual score.
Review Section Scores
See exactly where your resume is strong and where it needs work. Each section shows a percentage score with specific issues flagged — like missing phone numbers, weak action verbs, or formatting that ATS systems cannot parse.
Fix and Re-Check
Make the suggested changes in the editor and watch your score update in real-time. The live feedback loop means you can optimize iteratively until you hit a score you are confident in.
What the ATS checker analyzes
Six critical areas that determine whether your resume passes or gets filtered out.
Contact Information
Verifies your name, email, phone, and location are present and correctly formatted for ATS parsing.
Professional Summary
Checks for a clear summary with relevant keywords, appropriate length, and strong opening.
Work Experience
Evaluates bullet point quality, action verbs, quantified achievements, and chronological consistency.
Skills & Keywords
Matches your skills against common requirements for your target role and identifies missing industry keywords.
Education
Confirms degrees, institutions, and dates are properly structured in a format ATS systems expect.
Formatting
Validates that your layout uses ATS-safe structure — no tables, embedded images, headers/footers, or complex columns that break parsing.
