Resumatica's ATS Checker
uses a two-tier system

When you're applying for a job, there's a high chance your resume will be screened through an applicant tracking system before it reaches a recruiter. That's why we built our checker to replicate how real ATS systems parse your data.

1

The proportion of content we can parse

Similar to an ATS, we analyze and attempt to comprehend your resume. The greater our understanding of your content, the more effectively it aligns with a company's ATS.

2

What our checker identifies

We don't just check formatting. The second part of our score evaluates the quality and completeness of your content — section structure, contact data, skills taxonomy, and quantifiable achievements.

What gets scanned

See what hiring software actually reads.

Instead of a black-box score, Resumatica shows the contact fields, sections, skills, and formatting signals an ATS can extract before you apply.

Why it matters

See the data,
not just a score.

Most resume checkers give you a number and some generic tips. We show you the raw extraction: every contact field, every section header, every skill the ATS parsed — and exactly where it went wrong.

When you can see what the ATS sees, you know exactly what to fix. No guessing, no AI hallucinations, no paywall before you get value.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our ATS checker.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to manage job applications. It parses your resume into structured data — name, experience, skills, education — and stores it in a database. If the ATS can't parse your resume correctly, your information may be lost or mis-categorized, and recruiters won't find you in searches.

Most resume checkers use AI to suggest improvements or match keywords against a job description. We do something fundamentally different: we replicate the actual parsing logic of real ATS systems (Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse) to show you exactly what data they extract. You see the same fields a recruiter would see.

No. Your PDF is processed in memory on our servers and immediately discarded after analysis. We don't store your resume, your results, or any personal information extracted during parsing.

No. The ATS checker is completely free and requires no signup. Upload your PDF and get instant results.

Currently we support PDF files up to 10MB. PDF is the most common format accepted by ATS systems and preserves formatting across platforms.

A score of 90+ means your resume is well-optimized for ATS parsing. Scores of 75-89 indicate a solid foundation with minor issues. Below 75, there are formatting or structural problems that could affect how ATS systems read your resume.
