Resume Score Checker
Paste your resume and get an instant ATS-style score with fixes.
Score your resume like a screening system would
Paste your resume text and get a score with specific findings: missing sections, weak verbs, absent metrics, length problems and contact-info gaps. The analysis runs in your browser — your resume is never uploaded, which matters for a document containing your phone number and history.
What ATS systems actually check
Applicant Tracking Systems parse resumes into structured data before any human reads them. They look for standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills), recognizable date formats, contact information, and keywords from the job description. Tables, text boxes, images and unusual fonts often parse as garbage — the prettiest resume can score the worst.
The fixes that raise scores fastest
Quantify: "reduced load time by 40%" beats "improved performance" everywhere. Strong verbs: led, built, shipped, automated, negotiated — not "responsible for". Mirror the job description: if it says "stakeholder management", say those exact words where true; ATS keyword matching is literal. One page for under ~8 years of experience, two pages maximum after.
Pair with the keyword checker
This tool scores general quality. For a specific application, run our Resume Keyword Checker against the actual job description — the combination covers both how good the resume is and how well it targets the role.
Frequently asked questions
Is my resume uploaded or stored?
No — the analysis runs entirely in your browser. Your resume text never leaves your device.
What score should I aim for?
Treat 80+ as ready, 60–80 as needing targeted fixes, and below 60 as requiring a structural rewrite. The specific findings matter more than the number.
Why do ATS systems reject pretty resumes?
Decorative layouts use tables, columns, icons and text boxes that parsing software reads incorrectly or skips entirely. Clean single-column formatting parses best.
Should I tailor my resume for every job?
Yes — at minimum adjust the skills section and summary to mirror the job description's wording. Use the Resume Keyword Checker to find exactly which terms are missing.
